Ignore Slash while using encryption in codeigniter - php

Question

I have a problem to encrypt/decrypt the email, i just send a link on mail like this
http://www.domain.com/mycontroller/myfunction/McvBsce........etc
The last Segment is actually a encrypted email id, I decrypt this email and update stus in my db when user click on this link.All done right.
Problem: When url like this
http://www.domain.com/mycontroller/myfunction/McvB/sce
It shows 404 error, because slash included in the generated encryption key.How can i ignore the slash while it generate the encryption, that's my main problem, rest are working fine.

You need to use this class, include this file in your applicatio/libraries folder, I had the same issue:
class MY_Encrypt extends CI_Encrypt
{
/**
* Encodes a string.
*
* #param string $string The string to encrypt.
* #param string $key[optional] The key to encrypt with.
* #param bool $url_safe[optional] Specifies whether or not the
* returned string should be url-safe.
* #return string
*/
function encode($string, $key="", $url_safe=TRUE)
{
$ret = parent::encode($string, $key);
if ($url_safe)
{
$ret = strtr(
$ret,
array(
'+' => '.',
'=' => '-',
'/' => '~'
)
);
}
return $ret;
}
/**
* Decodes the given string.
*
* #access public
* #param string $string The encrypted string to decrypt.
* #param string $key[optional] The key to use for decryption.
* #return string
*/
function decode($string, $key="")
{
$string = strtr(
$string,
array(
'.' => '+',
'-' => '=',
'~' => '/'
)
);
return parent::decode($string, $key);
}
}
Credit goes to the codeigniter forum, from where I got this.
