Slash in json encoded variable breaks slim api route

Question

i created a route in slim api like this:

$app->put('/user/:one', function ($one) {

i know i created the put wrong by using it as a get, but i can't change the app since it's live. So I have to find a way to change this so it works when the json encoded variable contains a slash. When one of the fields in the json variable contain a slash the route thinks another variable is being declared. In this url the password contains a slash and thus breaks my route:

http://someapi.nl/someappApi/api.php/user/%7B%22uuid%22:%2267b80bda2ab6f83d%22,%22username%22:%22bladude%22,%22screen_state%22:%22Aan%20het%20werk%22,%22name%22:%22bladude%22,%22last_name%22:%22asdf%22,%22email%22:%22someexample@live.nl%22,%22password%22:%22bie/rtje/%22%7D

is there a way to tell slim api it should see the entire url as one variable??? or escape the slash?

your app will need to fix that on the UI side. Slim is doing exactly what it is suppose to do. — geggleto, Jan 21 '15 at 13:39

You can use a wildcard route to capture the entire query string...

$app->put('/user/:one+', function ($one) {

Yess, I had all ready solved but this was the way, it made the first var an array if there were multiple slash so I put a check on that and if it did I looped through values and pasted it together to a string :), thx anyway – Sjoerd de Wit Jan 21 '15 at 16:38

If you are using SLIM 3

$app->get('/hello[/{params:.*}]', function ($request, $response, $args) {
$params = explode('/', $request->getAttribute('params'));

// $params is an array of all the optional segments

});

I found this solution at "Slim 3 - Slash as a part of route parameter"
