Routes with a variable - cybersven - 05-18-2019
Hi,
Actually, I'm using routes like this :
$route['property-sheet/(:num)'] = 'home/property-sheet/$1';
My question, I would like to use a variable which will be stored in db or automatically generated and based on a title previously chosen by a user.
For example :
Title :
499 33rd Ave Apt 208, San Francisco, CA 94121
Url wanted :
https: //myWebSite.com/property-sheet/499-33rd-Ave-Apt-208_San-Francisco_CA_94121
How can I do ?

when you save url fro title, try this https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html?highlight=url_title#url_title
$title = "499 33rd Ave Apt 208, San Francisco, CA 94121";
$url_title = url_title($title,'-',true);

Change route rule to
PHP Code:
$route['property-sheet/(:any)'] = 'home/property-sheet/$1';
In your views or places to show url
PHP Code:
echo site_url('propert-sheet/'.url_title(property->title))
Bonus:
I would suggest you have another column e.g slug
Where you will save URL formatted titles so that you don't have to call url_title() every time
Instead your code would be
PHP Code:
echo site_url('propert-sheet/'.property->slug)
