I have URL like this: http://localhost/sitename/some-post-title/code=24639204963309423
Now I have one findUser function in my controller file
public function findUser() {
// I have tried with $_GET['code']
}
and I am trying to get code variable value inside this function. I have tried with $_GET['code'] but did not worked.
Any Idea how to get value inside controller function?
Thanks.
Are you trying to get a path segment variable or a GET variable? It looks like you're going for a bit of both.
Natively in CI, you can use $this->input->get if you update your url to look more like
http://localhost/sitename/some-post-title/?code=24639204963309423
(Note the question mark).
Alternatively, you can modify your URL to look like this
http://localhost/sitename/some-post-title/code/24639204963309423
And then use URI segments like so
$data = $this->uri->uri_to_assoc();
$code = $data['code'];
If you do not want to change your URL, you will have to break that string up manually like so
$data = $this->uri->segment(3);
$data = explode($data, '=');
$code = $data[1];
I would argue the second option is the most SEO-friendly and pretty solution. But each of these should be functionally identical.
If your URI contains more then two segments they will be passed to your function as parameters.
For example, lets say you have a URI like this:
example.com/index.php/products/shoes/sandals/123
Your function will be passed URI segments 3 and 4 ("sandals" and "123"):
<?php
class Products extends CI_Controller {
public function shoes($sandals, $id)
{
echo $sandals;
echo $id;
}
}
?>
If you are using GET to get parameters, you can do like this:
$this->input->get('get_parameter_name');
Typically there is a one-to-one relationship between a URL string and its corresponding controller class/method. The segments in a URI normally follow this pattern:
example.com/class/function/id/
