Question

Controller

function delete_payment($payment_id)
{
    $this->sale_lib->delete_payment($payment_id);
    $this->_reload();
}

View

   <?php echo anchor("sales/delete_payment/$payment_id",'['.$this->lang->line('common_delete').']');?>

It is possible for $payment_id to be something like “Gift Card:1” or “Gift Card:12345983984334”

When it is Gift Card:1 the url is automatically decoded and the delete function works, when it is a longer string such as Gift Card:12345983984334″ the url is NOT decoded.

URLS are:

http://localhost/index.php/sales/delete_payment/Gift%20Card:1

http://localhost/index.php/sales/delete_payment/Gift%20Card:12345983984334

First one works, second one doesn’t

Actually, I just tried to replicate your situation on my local machine (WAMP on Windows 7) and you’re right. I tried on all major browsers (FF4,IE9,Chrome) and saw no differences.

Although this doesn’t really answers your question, you can always rig a workaround like this with php function rawurldecode:

function delete_payment($payment_id)
{
    $decoded_id = rawurldecode($payment_id);
    $this->sale_lib->delete_payment($decoded_id);
    $this->_reload();
}

In this way you’ll have your ‘id’ in the form Gift Card:123456789 (I tried with different lenghts and alwyas worked), ready for your model.
