Add a semicolon to the Codeigniter permitted URL chars

Question

I need to add a semicolon (;) to the Codeigniter permitted URL chars pattern, here is the code:

$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_-';

I need to add the semicolon (I need this because some semicolons are passed with the URL), but I don't know how to add it to the pattern.

Thanks in advance!

You many not use semicolon's in the URL except for it's intended purpose.

Does this not work?

$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_-;';

SMF uses it for their URLs eg: .../forum/index.php?action=admin;area=regcenter;sa=settings Thanks for your reply. – Wãltër Þulido Jul 19 '13 at 17:31

You can insert the ';' in that config string.

Instead of a semicolon in the url, you could insert it's url encoded version '%3b'

So:

http://www.example.com/some%3bthing

%3b is a semicolon, such as %20 is a white space.
