I am using codeigniter and smarty template in one of my project.
So in controller I have assign variable like this.
$data['form'] = array("type" => "form_open_multipart" , "action" => base_url()."files/edit/".$file_id);
but on the browser when I check the form action url it displayed "�http://...."
� char is replaced with first char of url.
this happen only with the form_open_multipart() method, with form_open() method it is working fine.
How can I remove that sign from url?
