my journey of learning MVC continues and as hard as it is, I'm learning a lot of things I could never learn otherwise. Now I have faced the problem in routing. Currently I'm taking the $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] and get the controller and method and any args. When url is in format http://mysite.com/forum/thread/12/1123 there is no problem but I need to catch also requests like http://mysite.com/index.php?forum=12&&thread=1123.
I have read links in threads below but cannot get my head on QSA and I though I would better ask.
Thanks
mod_rewrite: Check for Custom query string in URL?
Rewrite url with query string in htaccess
I ended up writing something like before:
I redirect using htaccess
//No Controller specified in url (The current url is base url like http://example.com/hosanna_framework/)
if(!isset($_GET['base_url'])){
$url = $config["router"]["default_controller"];
}
//Controller is specified in url
else{
$url = $_GET['base_url'];
}

I am trying to pass any full url in as parameter to route, but the slash seems to mess everything up. If a route is passed in encoded, the route seems to decode it, is there a way to stop this or encode the url again at route level?
Route::get('add/{title?}/{url?}', 'HomeController#add')->name('add');
also i have tired
Route::get('add/{title?}/{url?}', 'HomeController#add_')->where('url', '(.*)')->name('add_popup');
but if it comes across question mark in the url it will drop anything after the question mark.
Check this out
Route::get("url/{url}", function($url) {
return $url;
})->where('url', '.*');
Example: http://myapp.test/url/http://try.me.com prints
http://try.me.com
I would recommend Jeunes answer, however if you still want a route parameter you could do a base64 encode/decode. This will not make for a pretty url though.
JS
btoa("http://someurl.test")
PHP
Route::get('url/{url}', function ($url) {
return base64_decode($url);
});
I use $.getJSON() to retrieve some data for a couple of cascading dropdowns in my form. $.getJSON() automatically appends the parameter at the end of the URL like domain.com/controller/method/?parent=5
So, I've declared my method like public function method($parent) which works file, but the same method will be used from other parts of the website that will call it like domain.com/controller/method/5
I tried to create a route in routes.php like the one below:
$route['business/regions/?parent=(:num)'] = 'business/regions/$1';
but it doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe ? is confusing the regex parser of the router? Do I have to escape it somehow to make it a 'literal' ? ?
Or is it that router is not used to 'rewrite' get parameters at all? I'm very confused, as it should work but it doesn't and I'm wondering what's wrong with it...
Codeigniter route parameters are for url parameters. It is particularly useful when trying to create a REST styled url pattern.
What you're trying to do is get url query string from the url which is not supported via the Codeigniter router. For you to get what you want you can do the following:
In your routes.php:
$route['business/regions'] = 'business/regions';
and in your controller Business.php:
public function regions() {
//the numeric id you're looking for
$parent = $this->input->get('parent');
}
I am trying to get pretty URLs on Codeigniter. Basically, here’s what I want.
//http://website.com/State/City/Neighborhood/Zip => http://website.com/search?lotsofParams=1234
$route['/State/City/Neighborhood/Zip'] = "search?location=blahblahblah&Submit=Search";
I am willing to write the routes manually, but right now that code isn’t working. Any idea how I can get this working?
no you are using QUERY STRINGS you can't route query string to friendly slashed urls.
You can re-write them with htaccess
I am developing a website using Codeigniter.
i want to redirect a URL to its SEO Friendly version. for eg.
I have URL
A. http://www.example.com/post/[post-id]/
I want this URL to redirct to SEO Friendly version of itself
B. http://www.example.com/post/[post-id]/[post-title]
Just like stackoverflow is using and like redirecting A URL to B URL.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/[question-id]/[question-title]
I was using 302 redirection in the Codeigniter until i read somewhere that if you are using 302 redirection.
then google might treat you as a Spammer but then again when i saw Stackoverflow URL Pattern then i think its much better to have B version of URL.
So my Questions are:
1. Which redirection stackoverflow is using?
2. Is it better to Store the Slug for [post-title] in database or manually calculate it with url_title() function.
302 means a temporary redirect. The result is search engines will still index the original URL.
301 mean permanent redirect. This results in the search engines transferring index data to the new URL.
302s are not spam but if used in the wrong situation you don't helping yourself.
In your case you will be permanently moving your URLs so a 301 is appropriate.
create a private function in the posts controller for SEO friendly URLs for posts.
private function _redirect($url) { // $url = http://www.example.com/post/[post-id]/
redirect($url . $this->post_title); // becomes http://www.example.com/post/[post-id]/[post-title]
return;
}
You should have a post_title member variable set before redirection. Where ever you are calling a redirect() function, replace it with your private function _redirect() and you are good to go.
by default its 302 redirect. To do a 301 redirect just add parameter to the redirect() function. e.g
// with 301 redirect
redirect($url . $this->post_title, 'location', 301);
Note: In order for this function to work it must be used before anything is outputted to the browser since it utilizes server headers.
So I'm using codeigniter and I've had very letter experience with it so far but here's my issue.
I have an if statement I've set up that says if (#$_GET['f'] == 'callback') then do something, if not, do something else.
So basically my URL ends up looking like this:
http://localhost/finalproject/myspacedev/index?f=start
and all I get is a 404 page. I've tried turning on get in the config, done a bunch of reading on here about using the uri segment class in CI, but all I get are 404 errors. What am I doing wrong here? It's driving me nuts!
Nevermind I'm dumb.
It's PATH_INFO, not PATH INFO.
Still having some issues but for now I'm good.
CodeIgniter automatically maps $_GET variables to class member parameters, which is far nicer to work with (see Controllers in the CI docs).
An example:
<?php
class blog extends Controller {
function archives($filter = '') {
// $filter is a $_GET paramemter
}
}
?>
The above controller would be available at /blog/archives/ and anything after that portion of the URI would be passed as the $_GET parameters. If /blog/archives/ returns a 404, then you probably don't have the .htaccess file in the web root, or you may not have it enabled in the Apache configuration.
It must have something to do with my .htaccess file, even though I thought I had it set up correctly. I tried to do it that way and never had any success so I just ended up enabling GET with the parse_str line that everyone passes around.
In any case, I got it to work even if its not the cleanest, most efficient way.
