Routing in CodeIgniter for (:any)
codeigniter, php, wordpress
Solution
The routing rule you using it is OK for your purpose.
If you use `http://www.example.com/admin/edit_page/3` this link it will send you `admin` controller and `edit_page` method.It will not use routes `any` rule.
However you will get one problem if your link looks like this
http://www.example.com/my-post-example/test
It will try to go `my-post-example` controller and test method.
Again `http://www.example.com/admin` will use routes `any` rule, means it will redirect your to core controller instead of `admin/index`. In that case your url should be `http://www.example.com/admin/index`
Finally If you call your other link with controller/method name it will be OK using your `any` rule
Problem
I'm trying to make my CodeIgniter application work similarly to WordPress. I want to be able to make these kind of URLs: http://www.example.com/my-post-example http://www.example.com/new-headline-here http://www.example.com/i-love-stackoverflow My routing: ``` $route['(:any)'] = "core/index/$1"; ``` Which will call my Core controller and pass the page name into the index function. I then lookup in my database for the page name and display the page to the user. So far so good. However, there will be times when I want to call another controller. For example: http://www.example.com/admin/edit_page/3 http://www.example.com/admin/settings Now I assume my route will just grab all these rules and send them into my Core controller. Is there a way to make an exception for certain pages? Or is it a good idea to do this check inside my Core controller. For example, ``` if ($page not in DB) { // Call controller/method } ``` This seems a little redundant since I just want CodeIgniter to handle this.
