Custom URL routing and interpretation? - El Forum - 02-22-2009

Hello,
I'm new to CI, and was wondering about custom URL routing and interpretation. Supposing I have an Online Directory with URL's constructed such as,
Code:
http://website.com/Canada/Montreal/Cars/Honda/DealerHow would I get CI to interpret this appropriately as being individual parameters that I wish to capture and use? as the above URL does not conform to the "controller - method" system of routing that CI uses.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated..
Thanks

Assuming you're only going to have a single controller, just rerouting all calls to that controller should work.
Code:
$route[':any'] = 'controller/method''I'd imagine that should do it, but I haven't tested it.
You should then be able to use $this->uri->segment(n) to get your segments. Segment number 1 should be the country name. Again, I can't confirm this, as I don't use routes, but if I understand them correctly, that should work.
