You can use - (dash) instant of space because space value change in url like %20%. Try the following code i have replace space to - in view and revert it on controller
View :
<div class="dropdown1">
<button class="dropbtn1">Asia</button>
<div class="dropdown1-content">
<li>
<ul style="height:520px; overflow: auto">
<?php foreach ($result as $row) {?>
<li>
<?php $county_name = str_replace(' ','-',$row['count_name']); ?>
<a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/MyWeb_Controller/countriesView/<?php echo $county_name; ?>">
<?php echo $row['count_name'];?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</li>
</div>
</div>
Controller :
public function countriesView($a){
$this->load->helper('url');
$this->load->view('Country_View');
$a = str_replace('-',' ',$a);
var_dump($a);die():
}
