changing / rewriting the URI - El Forum - 09-14-2008
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
so I have my uri that brings up search results
http://www.mysite.com/info/listing
and it works fine now problems, the problem I am having is that I want the URI to be different ... I want to change / rewrite it to be more like
http://www.mystie.com/info/listing/searchTerm1/searchTerm2/searchTerm3
Problem is, doing a redirect I loose my $_POST data, trying to append those to the view file name obviously doesn't work either... any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Something like this?
Code:
function listing($searchTerm1 = false, $searchTerm2 = false, $searchTerm3 = false)
{
if (! empty($_POST))
{
$terms = '';
if (! empty($_POST['searchTerm1']))
{
$terms .= '/' . urlencode($_POST['searchTerm1']);
}
if (! empty($_POST['searchTerm2']))
{
$terms .= '/' . urlencode($_POST['searchTerm2']);
}
if (! empty($_POST['searchTerm3']))
{
$terms .= '/' . urlencode($_POST['searchTerm3']);
}
$this->load->helper('url');
redirect('info/listing' . $terms);
}
else
{
$searchTerm1 = (! empty($searchTerm1)) ? urldecode($searchTerm1) : false;
$searchTerm2 = (! empty($searchTerm2)) ? urldecode($searchTerm2) : false;
$searchTerm3 = (! empty($searchTerm3)) ? urldecode($searchTerm3) : false;
// continue...
}

What I do is to stick the cleaned Post data into a session variable, and read it out in the redirected method and use the url parameters to communicate paging
Code:
function listing($page=0) {
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {
// sanitize post data
$listingParams = $this->sanitize_post_data();
if ($listingParams) {
$this->session->set_userdata('listingparams', listingParams);
header("Location: {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}";
exit();
}
}
// handle GET requests
$listingParams= $this->session->userdata('listingparams');
// redirect to the form if nothing was stored
// else do the search
// show the results view
}HTH,
