Unable to save host with multi-byte characters

[YTksn]

Describe the bug

Multibyte characters cannot be searched in "host.php" used for device search.
If use multibyte, it will be converted to hexadecimal and will not work properly.

To Reproduce

Use multibyte in the search field.

"ｙｔｋｓｎ" => "%uFF59%uFF54%uFF4B%uFF53%uFF4E"
URL will then like this=> "~~/cacti/host.php?host_status=-1&host_template_id=-1&site_id=-1&poller_id=-1&location=-1&rows=-1&filter=%uFF59%uFF54%uFF4B%uFF53%uFF4E&"

In this case, directly specifying a normal string in the "filter" field of the URL will work correctly. (~~&filter=ｙｔｋｓｎ)

Apache/2.4.6

This is very weird. I'm able to reproduce, but when I compare that page, after one change I made, to other pages, I can not see where it's breaking. Still researching.

This is fixed. If you are using the monitor plugin, you will need to update it too.
