Smarty

Hello.

I've got a problem, and i'm not sure its a smarty issue, or PHP/MYSQL. I think its Smarty.

basically I am creating an online form, and everything works fdine - except for one thing.

it searches my MYSQL database for Country, Region and City.

everything works fine, except for one entry, where the City has as space in the name.

"Diamond harbour" (Without quotes).

Now i've checked the database source, and this city is spelt correctly with just a space (no fancy characters).

When my PHP script passes the array to Smarty - this particular city is "Diamond harbour" with no special characters.

HOWEVER when i searched for this city using the form - it searches "Diamond" - and not the rest of the word.

SMARTY:

I added the following code - expecting it to change the sapvce to %20.

The sequence '%2520' is having been double encoded.

So, the first decoding gets '%20' where '%25' is the encoded character '%'.

The second decoding gets ' ' where '%20' is the encoded space character.

It could be the case that when submitting the form, the browser itself will do any necessary and proper encoding. I suppose it depends on the browser because substituting a space with a plus sign could also happen. Maybe it is the difference between POST and GET.

Do you use default escape modifier perhaps?
