Pass url parts as array to controller - El Forum - 06-23-2012

Best,

I was wondering if it is possible to pass the whole url in array form to the called controller method.

so for example if I call

Code:
/controller/action/param1/param2/param3

I don't wish to catch those by creating

Code:
public function action($param1, $param2, $param3)

But rather

Code:
public function action($params)

This because I do not know in advance how many parameters will be passed through.

Thanks!
Pj

you can use:

Code:
$this->uri->uri_to_assoc(n)

that will give you an associative array back. Refer to this page:

Hey mschinis,

uri_to_assoc wasn't exactly what I was looking for but on the page you provided I found the function

Code:
$this->uri->segment_array()

That did the job.

Thanks!
