how can I get the full url parameter with the url-encoded values
?myParam=dummy%C3%B6%C3%A4%C3%BC
this is the decoded url:
?myParam=dummyöäü
if I use
$myText = urldecode(JFactory::getApplication()->input->get('myParam'));
the encoded or directly entered umlauts are missing in my var myText
Use string filter instead of the default cmd filter:
JFactory::getApplication()->input->get('myParam', '', 'string')
Or:
JFactory::getApplication()->input->getString('myParam')
cmd is used. So $input->get('myParam') equals $input->get('myParam', null, 'cmd'). It strips out characters such as umlauts.
