| <h1>URI Class</h1> |
| |
| <p>The URI Class provides functions that help you retrieve information from your URI strings. If you use URI routing, you can |
| also retrieve information about the re-routed segments.</p> |
| |
| <p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p> |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->segment(<var>n</var>)</h2> |
| |
| <p>Permits you to retrieve a specific segment. Where <var>n</var> is the segment number you wish to retrieve. |
| Segments are numbered from left to right. For example, if your full URL is this:</p> |
| |
| <code>http://example.com/index.php/news/local/metro/crime_is_up</code> |
| |
| <p>The segment numbers would be this:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>news</li> |
| <li>local</li> |
| <li>metro</li> |
| <li>crime_is_up</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>By default the function returns FALSE (boolean) if the segment does not exist. There is an optional second parameter that |
| permits you to set your own default value if the segment is missing. |
| For example, this would tell the function to return the number zero in the event of failure:</p> |
| |
| <code>$product_id = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);</code> |
| |
| <p>It helps avoid having to write code like this:</p> |
| |
| <code>if ($this->uri->segment(3) === FALSE)<br /> |
| {<br /> |
| $product_id = 0;<br /> |
| }<br /> |
| else<br /> |
| {<br /> |
| $product_id = $this->uri->segment(3);<br /> |
| }<br /> |
| </code> |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->rsegment(<var>n</var>)</h2> |
| |
| <p>This function is identical to the previous one, except that it lets you retrieve a specific segment from your |
| re-routed URI in the event you are using CodeIgniter's <a href="../general/routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature.</p> |
| |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->slash_segment(<var>n</var>)</h2> |
| |
| <p>This function is almost identical to <dfn>$this->uri->segment()</dfn>, except it adds a trailing and/or leading slash based on the second |
| parameter. If the parameter is not used, a trailing slash added. Examples:</p> |
| |
| <code>$this->uri->slash_segment(<var>3</var>);<br /> |
| $this->uri->slash_segment(<var>3</var>, 'leading');<br /> |
| $this->uri->slash_segment(<var>3</var>, 'both');</code> |
| |
| <p>Returns:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>segment/</li> |
| <li>/segment</li> |
| <li>/segment/</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->slash_rsegment(<var>n</var>)</h2> |
| |
| <p>This function is identical to the previous one, except that it lets you add slashes a specific segment from your |
| re-routed URI in the event you are using CodeIgniter's <a href="../general/routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->uri_to_assoc(<var>n</var>)</h2> |
| |
| <p>This function lets you turn URI segments into and associative array of key/value pairs. Consider this URI:</p> |
| |
| <code>index.php/user/search/name/joe/location/UK/gender/male</code> |
| |
| <p>Using this function you can turn the URI into an associative array with this prototype:</p> |
| |
| <code>[array]<br /> |
| (<br /> |
| 'name' => 'joe'<br /> |
| 'location' => 'UK'<br /> |
| 'gender' => 'male'<br /> |
| )</code> |
| |
| <p>The first parameter of the function lets you set an offset. By default it is set to <kbd>3</kbd> since your |
| URI will normally contain a controller/function in the first and second segments. Example:</p> |
| |
| <code> |
| $array = $this->uri->uri_to_assoc(3);<br /> |
| <br /> |
| echo $array['name']; |
| </code> |
| |
| |
| <p>The second parameter lets you set default key names, so that the array returned by the function will always contain expected indexes, even if missing from the URI. Example:</p> |
| |
| <code> |
| $default = array('name', 'gender', 'location', 'type', 'sort');<br /> |
| <br /> |
| $array = $this->uri->uri_to_assoc(3, $default);</code> |
| |
| <p>If the URI does not contain a value in your default, an array index will be set to that name, with a value of FALSE.</p> |
| |
| <p>Lastly, if a corresponding value is not found for a given key (if there is an odd number of URI segments) the value will be set to FALSE (boolean).</p> |
| |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->ruri_to_assoc(<var>n</var>)</h2> |
| |
| <p>This function is identical to the previous one, except that it creates an associative array using the |
| re-routed URI in the event you are using CodeIgniter's <a href="../general/routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature.</p> |
| |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->assoc_to_uri()</h2> |
| |
| <p>Takes an associative array as input and generates a URI string from it. The array keys will be included in the string. Example:</p> |
| |
| <code>$array = array('product' => 'shoes', 'size' => 'large', 'color' => 'red');<br /> |
| <br /> |
| $str = $this->uri->assoc_to_uri($array);<br /> |
| <br /> |
| // Produces: product/shoes/size/large/color/red |
| </code> |
| |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->uri_string()</h2> |
| |
| <p>Returns a string with the complete URI. For example, if this is your full URL:</p> |
| |
| <code>http://example.com/index.php/news/local/345</code> |
| |
| <p>The function would return this:</p> |
| |
| <code>/news/local/345</code> |
| |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->ruri_string(<var>n</var>)</h2> |
| |
| <p>This function is identical to the previous one, except that it returns the |
| re-routed URI in the event you are using CodeIgniter's <a href="../general/routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->total_segments()</h2> |
| |
| <p>Returns the total number of segments.</p> |
| |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->total_rsegments()</h2> |
| |
| <p>This function is identical to the previous one, except that it returns the total number of segments in your |
| re-routed URI in the event you are using CodeIgniter's <a href="../general/routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->segment_array()</h2> |
| |
| <p>Returns an array containing the URI segments. For example:</p> |
| |
| <code> |
| $segs = $this->uri->segment_array();<br /> |
| <br /> |
| foreach ($segs as $segment)<br /> |
| {<br /> |
| echo $segment;<br /> |
| echo '<br />';<br /> |
| }</code> |
| |
| <h2>$this->uri->rsegment_array()</h2> |
| |
| <p>This function is identical to the previous one, except that it returns the array of segments in your |
| re-routed URI in the event you are using CodeIgniter's <a href="../general/routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature.</p> |
