if folder and parameter has same, how to make it to act as argument and not as folder - El Forum - 11-09-2012

Hello Everybody
I pasted all CI folders in localhost(ie application,system etc).
localhost
-appl
-system
-rest all folders
Also, I created image,css folder in localhost.
I edited default controller in routes, so that my default page is shown.
To access my default page, I just type 'localhost'
A) Now, if I type localhost/image.
It is showing my image folder that is present in localhost.
B) But as stated above I had edited default controller , So on typing localhost/image, why not image
is treated as parameter which I am echoing in my controller function.
Since Both above A and B are correct in their own statement.
As, image word gets conflicted whether we referring image as folder or parameter.
I want image to be treated as parameter.
How to solve this problem?
whether can it be solve by .htaccess or through routes or any other solution is there?

This is due to your webserver and/or your .htaccess. The default is to treat folders as folders, not as part a parameter or request_uri.
If you want it to be treated as a parameter you need a .htaccess (assuming you run apache) which tells the webserver to ignore /images
Check the .htaccess in the user_guide.
Just a word of warning, using images both as parameter and folder is a bad idea. When should the webserver fetch an image and when not?

Hi rogierb
Thanks.
That's True, having same name for both folder and parameter is bad idea.
But It can be achieved using .htaccess as you mentioned. Yes, I am using apache.
I will view user_guide and will try to implement it.
