If you use _remap() you can do almost anything that is on the url.

You can not use 11h11 as class, method or function name, it has to start with a letter or underscore.

_remap will re-route everything as long as you point it to the right controller.

so, if you want the URL to be www.myproject.com/11h11 you'll have to do it via routes.

application/config/routes.php

PHP Code:

$route['11h11'] = 'whc/my11h11'; 


PHP Code:

class Whc extends CI_Controller
{
    // ...
    public function my11h11()
    {
        echo 'Im over here now!';
    }
} 


If you want to make that tag dynamic, you probably need to rework your URLs to add www.myproject.com/tags/11h11 or something, so you can specify it should be treated as related URL.

I can't remember in what order routing happens, but if the tag itself is dynamic, you have two options.

If you can allow controller reference in the URL - myproject.com/mycontroller/11h11 :

PHP Code:

class Mycontroller extends CI_Controller
{
    // ...
    public function _remap()
    {
        echo $this->uri->segment(2);
    }
} 


If it must be first element of URL myproject.com/11h11 (this may not work, you need to test it yourself, but it may or may not override autolinking to controllers):

PHP Code:

$route['(:any)'] = 'whc/mymethod/$1'; 


PHP Code:

class Whc extends CI_Controller
{
    // ...
    public function mymethod($tag = null)
    {
        echo $tag;
    }
}

Below is how we did it, we create separate folders for each user under users.

This way you just access the site and it will go to index method.

PHP Code:

// ./application/controllers/Welcome.php

// --------------------------------------------------------------------

/**
 * index()
 *
 * index - default method called.
 *
 * @access public
 */
public function index($urlCode = NULL)
{

    if ( ! empty($urlCode))
    {
        // we have the code
    }
    else
    {

    }

}


// --------------------------------------------------------------------

/**
 * _remap()
 *
 * Remaps the URL segments.
 *
 * Place at the bottom of controller.
 *
 * @access private
 * @param string
 * @param array
 */
private function _remap($method, $params = array())
{
    if (method_exists($this, $method))
    {
        return call_user_func_array(array($this, $method), $params);
    }

    show_404();
}

// ./apllication/config/routes.php
$route['welcome/(:any)'] = 'welcome/$1'; 


You need the if to decide on what you want to do with the input.
