CodeIgniter - custom URL

Question

Couldn't find solutions for my question. Who uses CodeIgniter knows that all URL in this framework are constructed as:

site.com/controller/method/parameter...

Is there a way fro changing that into some other pattern as for excample:

site.com/controller-method-parameter.html

So in general is there a way to simple change / for any other such char as - and having those urls generated atomaticly using ie. url helper?

im not sure what you are looking for, but in codeigniter you have route concept - ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/routing.html — Janith Chinthana

All cool @Janith with routes, i'm getting the concept there. What i want to achieve is Your normal approach would be in controller like: $this->load->helper('url'); site_url('applicationform/apply'); And You would get url like: site.com/controller/method what i'm aiming for is still use site_url('applicationform/apply') but at the frontend having for excample site.com/applicationform-appy. Just replace / with - and still be able to use those helpers — ThePueblo

you are trying to do some things which is not given in the user guide i think you have to use other options like htaccess is the only options — saurabh kamble

There is no configuration for urls "join" char? .htaccess isn't the way i would like to use in this case because of loss of some functionality of framework. — ThePueblo

yes you can do that. use the Routes class, for example you have a controller named 'stories' and a method called 'story' that takes a parametre 'story id' and display the appropriate story, so in your routes config file put

$route['story-(:num)'] = 'stories/story/$1';

that's it :)
