thanks but it still did not resolved my issue! Still same result
Question this:
Relações extraconjugais é um caso sério
Url this:
http://localhost/6/rela%E3%A7%E3%B5es-extraconjugais-%E3%A9-um-caso-s%E3%A9rio

Answer 2

As far as I can see, that URL is appropriate for the question text. It will appear in most modern web browsers without the % symbols, but rather as the accented Portugese characters. Is the page not being displayed for the URL?

That looks like it will work - you could just add that function to qa-base.php then insert this line at the start of qa_q_request():

$title=make_friendly_URL($title);

But: make sure you are editing qa-base.php with UTF-8 text encoding in your text editor, otherwise the character substitutions will be stored wrongly in the PHP file.
