Passing multiple parameters in a single URL Segment - El Forum - 12-30-2011
[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
On occasion, I've wanted to pass multiple parameters in a single url segment, much like a query string. This is similar to $uri->uri_to_assoc() except it uses a single segment.
For instance, take the following URL structure:
http://yoursite.com/controller/method/key1=val1;key2=val2;key3=val3
Code:
$values = $this->uri->segment_to_assoc(3); //or $this->uri->rsegment_to_assoc(3); for routed segments
print_r($values);
//outputs:
array (
[key1] => val1,
[key2] => val2,
[key3] => val3
)I just believe this is more semantic (in certain scenarios) than:
http://yoursite.com/controller/method/key1/val1/key2/val2/key3/val3
Code:
$values = $this->uri->uri_to_assoc(3);
print_r($values);
//outputs:
array (
[key1] => val1,
[key2] => val2,
[key3] => val3
)Read the notes. You have to add 2 characters to your $config['permitted_uri_chars'] (;=).
I created this for a pagination library I'm using so I could:
www.yoursite.com/controller/method/page=1;perpage=25;filter1=url;filter2=company_name;order=desc
Code:
$pagination_config = $this->uri->segment_to_assoc(3);
$pagination = $this->load->library('pag', $pagination_config);Anyway, here it is on Github if it would be of use to you. If you find anything that needs fixing, please let me know or initiate a pull request!
