Question

I would like to pass a MySQL Datetime value like below in a site URL which is build using Codeigniter.
So the datetime value is e.g.

2012-05-04 07:41:45

And I want it to be passed in a site URL using some king of encoding or string conversion.
As I have already tried using php urlencode() function but it is not working.

The reason to pass this in URL is because I am querying some records from database related to that Datetime. So I must pass it as an Argument to Controller and for that I must pass it under URL.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Easy:

function receiving_function($time)
{
     $date = date("Y-m-d h:i:s", $time);  // Format this however you want the data
}


function sending_data()
{
    $date = strtotime("2012-05-04 07:41:45");
    redirect ('/yourcontroller/receiving_function/'.$date).
}
