I am using php $_GET function to call parameters from the database. And these perameters are usually variable within the url.
E.g. http://localhost:8080/series/dynamics/admin/cleanURL/Apple, where Apple is the variable from the database.
This works fine as long as GET function doesn't encounter a space, however in a real life situation I will have some variable such as "Green Apple" "Red Apple" etc..and URL will like,
http://localhost:8080/series/dynamics/admin/cleanURL/Green%20Apple and in that case I am getting 404 The requested URL was not found on this server error.
What I would like to achieve is to be able to conver whitespace into hyphen or +. I have done it through strreplace or urlencode() however the problem is I am still not able to get rid 404 error.
Just incase if it has anything to do with htaccess below is my code
