How to get the url segment from jQuery - El Forum - 03-24-2009

[eluser]Jose Dueñas[/eluser]
Hi,
I'm developing a CodeIgniter + jQuery application. I'd need to get the url segment to save as a javascript variable.

I want to do something like that (in the view):

Code:
var MyJavascriptVar = $this->uri->segment(3);

How could I do that?

Thanks,
Jose

One thing I'd probably go for would be to insert the segment value into the script itself with an echo statement.

If not, something like this might work:

Code:
function getSegment(num) {

    num += 2;

    var segments = [removed].toString();

    segments = segments.split('/');

    if (segments[num] != undefined) {

        return segments[num];

    }

    return '';

}

The above code is untested.

If I'm not misunderstanding couldn't you do this?

Code:
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;

    var myCoolJavascriptVariable = &lt;?php echo $this->uri->segment(3);?&gt;;

&lt;/script&gt;
