Question

I am working on existing project. At some points it has some poor implementation.

For example I found following code in an action:

<?php
    echo "<script>window.location='/".$this->getRequestParameter("culture")."/profile/".$this->username';</script>"; 
?>

In normal condition above code works fine and redirect user successfully. But problems occurs when username is something like this:

Uneståhl

It converts it into

Unestål

And a server error is returned.

Any idea how to fix this ?

Thanks

You could try using PHP urlencode function:

<?php
    echo "<script>window.location='/".$this->getRequestParameter("culture")."/profile/".urlencode($this->username). "';</script>"; 
?>
