I am using CodeIgniter. In my script, I am changing $config['index_page'] in config.php file as per the user's reponse, i.e, dynamic index_page is used. In order to get it work, I have changed the $config['uri_protocol'] value to "AUTO".
Everything is working fine except when the case comes like : domain.com/index_page/auth/register?testvar=1
It's not accepting the get variables and "PAGE NOT FOUND" error is there. I have tried several things already discussed here, but they involve changing the uri_protocol to "PATH_INFO" that I can't change as the site stops working. It requires "REQUEST_URI" to work properly which is exactly the case with "AUTO" setting.
So is there, any way to get it working???
Any help would be appreciated.
Have a look at this answer: Handling question mark in url in codeigniter it will require you to override the core URI class whenever you are accepting QUERY_STRING and inject your logic there.
Have you read this: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/urls.html ?
You pass vars like this:
domain.com/index_page/auth/register/1
The first segment represents the
controller class that should be
invoked.
The second segment represents
the class function, or method, that
should be called.
The third, and any
additional segments, represent the ID
and any variables that will be passed
to the controller.
Also you can do it your way, read the reference. But than why to use a framework at all?
I've done the same thing in my project and I got the url like
mydomain.com/search/?name=Arun+David&age=23
To achieve this,
In config file set
$config['uri_protocol']='PATH_INFO'; or $config['uri_protocol']='ORIG_PATH_INFO';
if PATH_INFO is not working try using ORIG_PATH_INFO. For me in localhost PATH_INFO is woking but not ORIG_PATH_INFO but while uploading it in server ORIG_PATH_INFO in working but not PATH_INFO.
and in your search controller's constructer add
parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],$_GET);
then you can use $_GET['name'] and $_GET['age'] in your code!.!. :-)

I am having trouble removing the controller name from my url path on my localhost.
i have this url - localhost:8888/localhost/site_name/
i have been able to remove index.php from the url using my htaccess similar to http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite so that:
localhost:8888/localhost/site_name/index.php/controller_name
is now:
localhost:8888/localhost/site_name/controller_name/
but i can't remove the controller name from the path so that:
localhost:8888/localhost/site_name/controller_name/function_name/
becomes:
localhost:8888/localhost/site_name/function_name/
I am using only one controller, and i have added:
$route['^(function_name1|function_name2|function_name3)(/:any)?$'] = 'controller_name/$0';
$route['^(?!ezstore|ezsell|login).*'] = "home/$0"; /*similar variation i tried*/
and other variations to my routes file but it does not have any effect. i also tried using the _remap function but that does not help in this case.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks
You can use a wildcard route,
$route['(:any)'] = "controller_name/$1";
Then when if you go to http://localhost/function_one/param1
it will call the controller controller_name the function function_once and pass param1 as the first parameter.
nb: I must point out, using only one controller for an entire site does raise warning bells for me, you may want to get your code design checked out, but that's just me.
I have a problem with Codeigniter routes. I would like to all registered users on my site gets its own "directory", for example: www.example.com/username1, www.example.com/username2. This "directory" should map to the controller "polica", method "ogled", parameter "username1".
If I do like this, then each controller is mapped to this route: "polica/ogled/parameter". It's not OK:
$route["(:any)"] = "polica/ogled/$1";
This works, but I have always manually entered info in routes.php:
$route["username1"] = "polica/ogled/username1";
How do I do so that this will be automated?
UPDATE:
For example, I have controller with name ads. For example, if you go to www.example.com/ads/
there will be listed ads. If you are go to www.example.com/username1 there are listed ads by user username1. There is also controller user, profile, latest,...
My Current routes.php:
$route['oglasi'] = 'oglasi';
$route['(:any)'] = "polica/ogled/$1"
$route['default_controller'] = 'domov';
$route['404_override'] = '';
I solved problem with this code:
$route['oglasi/(:any)'] = 'oglasi/$1';
$route['(:any)'] = "polica/ogled/$1"
$route['default_controller'] = 'domov';
$route['404_override'] = '';

The problem with your route is that by using :any you match, actually...ANY route, so you're pretty much stuck there.
I think you might have two solutions:
1)You can selectively re-route all your sites controller individually, like:
$route['aboutus'] = "aboutus";
$route['where-we-are'] = "whereweare";
//And do this for all your site's controllers
//Finally:
$route['(:any)'] = "polica/ogled/$1";
All these routes must come BEFORE the ANY, since they are read in the order they are presented, and if you place the :any at the beginning it will happily skip all the rest.
EDIT after comment:
What I mean is, if you're going to match against ANY segment, this means that you cannot use any controller at all (which is, by default, the first URI segment), since the router will always re-route you using your defined law.
In order to allow CI to execute other controllers (whatever they are, I just used some common web pages, but can be literally everything), you need to allow them by excluding them from the re-routing. And you can achieve this by placing them before your ANY rule, so that everytime CI passed through your routing rules it parses first the one you "escaped", and ONLY if they don't match anything it found on the URL, it passes on to the :ANY rule.
I know that this is a code verbosity nonetheless, but they'll surely be less than 6K as you said.
Since I don't know the actual structure of your URLs and of your web application, it's the only solution that comes to my mind. If you provide further information, such as how are shaped the regular urls of your app, then I can update my answer
/end edit
This is not much a pratical solution, because it will require a lot of code, but if you want a design like that it's the only way that comes to my mind.
Also, consider you can use regexes as the $route index, but I don't think it can work here, as your usernames are unlikely matchable in this fashion, but I just wanted to point out the possibility.
OR
2) You can change your design pattern slightly, and assign another route to usernames, something along the line of
$route['user/(:any)'] = "polica/ogled/$1";
This will generate quite pretty (and semantic) URLs nonetheless, and will avoid all the hassle of escaping the other routes.

I was struggling with this same problem very recently. I created something that worked for me this way:
Define a "redirect" controller with a remap method. This will allow you to gather the requests sent to the contoller with any proceeding variable string into one function. So if a request is made to http://yoursite/jeff/ or http://yoursite/jamie it won't hit those methods but instead hit http://yoursite/ remap function. (even if those methods/names don't exist and even if you have an index function, it supersedes it). In the _Remap method you could define a conditional switch which then works with the rest of your code re-directing the user any way you want.
You should then define this re-direct controller as the default one and set up your routes like so:
$route['(.*)'] = "redirect/index/$1";
$route['default_controller'] = "redirect";
This is at first a bit of a problem because this will basically force everything to be re-directed to this controller no matter what and ultimately through this _remap switch.
But what you could do is define the rules/routes that you don't want to abide to this condition above those route statements.
i.e
$route['myroute'] = "myroute";
$route['(.*)'] = "redirect/index/$1";
$route['default_controller'] = "redirect";
I found that this produces a nice system where I can have as many variable users as are defined where I'm able to redirect them easily based on what they stand for through one controller.
Another way would be declaring an array with your intenal controllers and redirect everything else to the user controller like this in your routes.php file from codeigniter:
$controllers=array('admin', 'user', 'blog', 'api');
if(array_search($this->uri->segment(1), $controllers)){
$route['.*'] = "polica/ogled/$1";
}
This is my first time getting my hands dirty with CI so I'm getting a little confused.
I'm wanting to accomplish a couple things with my question. First of all, I'd like to always use the default controller without having it to appear in the url. For example, I created a new class named after my site (Example.php) and that works fine. However, if I want to call the search function in my controller I then have to go to example.com/index.php/example/search/.
The second thing I want to accomplish is when I run a search I'll get a nice looking url like so: example.com/search/This+is+a+search (I haven't gotten to removing the index.php portion but I know to use a htaccess). I'm not worried about the actual mechanics of the search, just that I'd like to format the url in this way.
I originally experimented with using a Search class but that found that it doesn't allow me put the search in the url because the second parameter should be a function and not the extra stuff.
Thanks for any help.
In application/config/routes.php file add $route to redirect everything to your controller.
Something like this:
$route['([^\/]+)'] = 'content/index/$1';
$route['([^\/]+)\/([^\/]+)'] = 'content/index/$1/$2';
This will redirect urls like example.com/A and example.com/A/B to a controller named content. Parameters A and B will be passed to method index.
I'm having a little trouble with a CodeIgniter route when there is a query (stuff after the ?) in the URI. I know it is good practice to replace queries with routes in CI, but I'm importing in a premade messageboard that already does everything with queries. This is my route:
$route['messageboard/:any'] = "messageboard/index";
Any in this case refers to a script name. So if it's messageboard/admin.php, I have it load a view that loads my premade messageboard's script "admin.php". It's working just fine if I do messageboard/admin.php. It does fine if I do messageboard/admin.php?. If I put a parameter into the query, however, the route won't correctly send the user to the messageboard controller, and instead sends them to a 404. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work? I would be eternally grateful. Thanks!
Okay guys, I solved it. I needed to change three things. The first was mtvee's suggestion, which lets it read query strings. The second one you're going to want to change the $config['permitted_uri_chars'] in the config file to include an equals sign, since it starts off disabled and all query strings will be of the for ?a=34 or something like that. The third is you need to go to $config['uri_protocol'] and change it from AUTO to PATH_INFO. Once I did those, it worked.
I'm sure the syntax is:
$route['messageboard/(:any)'] = "messageboard/index"; //<-- notice brackets
and not
$route['messageboard/:any'] = "messageboard/index";
I believe CI doesn't do GET out of the box. Check out Enabling Query Strings here http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/urls.html
So I'm using codeigniter and I've had very letter experience with it so far but here's my issue.
I have an if statement I've set up that says if (#$_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.
