In codeigniter the default URL is something like this

http://www.mygreatsite.com/index.php/video/display/12345

I will explain you here how to customise above URL in codeigniter.

Suppose you have a video hosting site and controller class named "Video" and its method named "display".

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Video extends CI_Controller {
public function display(){
// display video
}
}



To display video you have to pass video ID through URL. By default setting URL will look like this

http://www.mygreatsite.com/index.php/video/display/video_id

I would recommend you to remove index.php first so URL would look like this.

http://www.mygreatsite.com/video/display/video_id

Now lets jump to application/config/routes.php and open it in Notepad or Notepad++. Copy below code and paste it at the bottom of the page. Remember below code is just an example. You should use it based on your project requirement.

If video ID is an integer like 12345


$route['show/(:num)'] = "video/display/$1";

If video ID is an string like vid123


$route['show/(:any)'] = "video/display/$1";

So the new URL will be like something like this

http://www.mygreatsite.com/show/vid123

So you can pass video ID as integer or string in both scenario it will work fine.

That it all for now see you in next tutorial.
