Problem with cyrillic characters in friendly url

Question

Here\'s the thing. I have friendly urls like

http://site.com/blog/read/мъдростта-на-вековете

http://site.com/blog/read/green-apple

Answer 1

The text is just being encoded to fit the specification for URLs.

Echo out the data to a log to see what you are actually trying to pass to the database.

You should be able to decode it with urldecode.
