I have a method which returns all jobs by category. The problem it's when i have spaces in the category name. How could I access those results?
for ex if i access http://localhost/management_system/Job/get_jobs_by_cat/Architecture it will return all the jobs from the Architecture category.
But when i try to access the category Information Technology I can't do it while I have spaces into the url, so I've tried with _ - and i didn't get any response.
How I can fix this issue?
You would likely want to use urldecode() to decode the url parameters in the controller function processing this logic. In your controller, do something like this:
$jobCat = urldecode($this->uri->segment(4));
Then, you would pass $jobCat to your model.

Accounting / Finance becomes Accounting+%2F+Finance which gives me the fallowing error Object not found! The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
/ with something else? That's the only way?routes.php or .htaccess file to get the desired result without replacing anything.You need to URL encode Information Technology.
$category = 'Information Technology';
$encodedCategory = rawurlencode($category);
$url = 'http://localhost/management_system/Job/get_jobs_by_cat/' . $encodedCategory;
echo $url;
// http://localhost/management_system/Job/get_jobs_by_cat/Information%20Technology
