Routing - combing URL segments to form a method name? - El Forum - 07-20-2010
[eluser]Prophet[/eluser]
Hello all
Is something like the following possible with CI's routing library?
Code:
$route['admin/product_required_details/(:any)/(:num)/(:any)'] = 'admin/product_required_details/$3_$1/$2';For example, I would like:
Quote:admin/product_required_details/option/5/edit...to route to:
Quote:admin/product_required_details/edit_option/5(i.e. it should call the edit_option() method and pass 5 as the parameter.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

You could add somewhere close to the top of your option() function something like the code below. Note that I haven't tried it so there might be a syntax error or two, but it should work.
Code:
public function option($id, $subfunc) {
// Check if $subfunc is a valid function name.
if (isset($subfunc) && preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z_]\\w*$/', $subfunc)) {
$redirect = $subfunc.'_'.__FUNCTION__;
if (method_exists($this, $redirect)) {
call_user_func(array($this, $redirect), $id);
}
else {
// User specified a method that does not exist.
}
}
else {
// Subfunction not specified or was an invalid name.
}

I think prophet's own suggestion is fine by itself. In that example, the edit_option method would be called, no problem.
Routes are simply regular expressions, so if you rewrite the url that way, it will work just fine.

KingSkippus your solution worked perfectly, thank you. I tried my own solution and it didn't seem to work... If I can get CI's routing library to do the work for me that would be great, and much easier to maintain.

Per mddd's suggestion in another thread, you could also try the following:
Code:
$route['admin/product_required_details/([^/]+)/(:num)/([^/]+)'] =
'admin/product_required_details/$3_$1/$2';
