Routing problems, CodeIgniter - codeigniter

This might be a very silly question because I'm new to PHP frameworks. But I have got the concept of MVC framework. But this routing thing is very confusing me.
I created a controller and view for dashboard and set it as default. Then I wanted to check if the user is logged in then send him to the login page if it's not.
So, what I did in the routes is this:
$route['default_controller'] = 'dashboard/index';
$route['login'] = 'login';
But even if I add a thousand more controllers and routes, it still goes to the default i.e the dashboard. This was supposed to work http://localhost/codeigniter/login. I'm very sure I haven't put a redirect-to-dashboard code in the login page.

at first it's important to understand to routing in codeigniter.
The key for understanding is $route['url/path'] = controller/method (or "public function")
So. In your case, you routing to Login controller and index method (or index function...this it interpretation of codeigniter )
If you want to check if is user logged or not, you may try to check for examle session variable inside of called functon. But it depends on your application. But I think that is not good idea to check it in routes.php
Hope it helps you.

The default controller in routes, will be the controller that opens your index or first page.
If your first page is in controller "pages", then that is your default controller. Do not use it for your secure dashboard pages
Your first page should be the index method in the controller. It should look like this
$route['default_controller'] = "pages";
Where pages is your first page controller

Handling multiple views controllers in CodeIgniter 4

I am new to CodeIgniter 4.
I have one controller named Pages and helps to display website pages normally. Then I have another controller named Admin which is suppose to load the admin view with its own header and footer files.
While Pages controller works fine, the Admin controller keeps saying 404-file not found admin.
I think I have a problem with my current Route settings below. Please help.
$routes->setDefaultController('Pages');
$routes->setDefaultMethod('default');
// Route Definitions
$routes->get('/', 'Pages::index');
$routes->get('(:any)', 'Pages::default/$1');
try ajusting your code like this.
$routes->setDefaultController('Pages');
$routes->setDefaultMethod('default');
// Route Definitions
$routes->resource('pages');
$routes->get('/', 'Pages::index');
$routes->get('(:any)', 'Pages::default/$1');

How to avoid overwriting routes in Laravel?

Sorry in advance, I know it has been asked before but I did not figure out the solution.
I am new to Laravel, still learning and stuck with this issue:
My objective is to add pages in admin and show these pages in frontend.
For the Front part of the website I have this route:
Route::get('/{page}', 'PagesController#show');
so the when you access /about, /contact, /another-page I use the same view
For the Admin part of the website I have this route:
Route::get('/admin', 'AdminController#show');
My problem is that the first route overwrites the second route and I don't know how to avoid this.
I have tried with namespaces and grouping routes, but I get the same outcome.
Thank you
To make it simple this is happening because you have the route with the parameter before the admin route so is going to send the "admin as a parameter of page"
The Simple fix is just put admin route before your "/{page} so it will find admin route first,Something Like this:
Route::get('/admin', 'AdminController#show');
Route::get('/{page}', 'PagesController#show');
But I do not recommend building your routes this way and have specifics pages setup if possible, This way of building routes will mess around with the 404 route not found aswell.

Encrypt URL with PHP Codeigniter

I have developed a website with PHP Codeigniter. It consists of many controllers and views. I want to encrypt the URL of the site to hide the controller and function name. Currently, the URL looks like this :
www.sitename.com/controller_name/function_name
I don't want the users to see the controller and function names. Is it possible to do this now because the site is almost complete. Is there any shortcut of doing this? Please Help
You can use codeigniter URI Routing to remove your controller name from URL.
$route['url_name'] = 'controller_name/function_name';
This `www.sitename.com/url_name` will look go to `www.sitename.com/controller_name/function_name`
$route['url_name/(:any)'] = 'controller_name/$1';
This will only change your controller name.. `controller_name` to `url_name`

how to make sub folder for login page and rest of the pages in codeigniter

I am working in a codeigniter project in wamp server.
My current login page is http://localhost/flowers/login and its working correctly (no issue). The rest of the urls are like this
http://localhost/handycheck/admin/dashboard etc
My issue is i need to change the login url like this
http://localhost/flowers/admin/login
&
http://localhost/flowers/providers/login
Its because I have to maintain login form for multiple users.
How can i make this.
Please help me and thanks in advance who helps me alot..
You can do this by adding custom roue in codeigniter routing configuration as follows go to config/routes and add the following entry in this file
$route['flowers/providers/login'] = 'flowers/login';
$route['flowers/admin/login'] = 'flowers/login';
this will redirect the request to the login in flowers controller and if you need to do custom handling for admins and provider you can get the url segments and do custom handling according to user type
I hope my answer would be useful

MVC 3 Redirect to Action on Subdomain

I have a website I am developing (http://www.mywebsite.com/) that makes use of subdomains. Basically what I want is when you go to: http://www.mywebsite.com/Redirect, it redirects you to http://blahblah.mywebsite.com/SpecificController/SpecificAction.
I know about Redirect, but that doesn't let you send POST parameters (as far as I know), and RedirectToAction doesn't let you specify a subdomain.
For subdomains in routes check this guide to domain routing
When you have it set up. for a specific redirection you can use this:
return RedirectToAction("SpecificAction",
"SpecificController",
new { subdomain = "blahblah");
As for the post part, you can just use the TempData dictionary (TempData["varName"]) to pass the data to the next controller/action
