Codeigniter Query Strings

[eluser]Craig N[/eluser]
Hi all,

I'm using CI with query strings turned on due to the hosting environment I'm creating this web app for. My question is pretty simple although I can't seem to find it - how do I pass arguments to the methods in my controllers? I'm used to using uri segments like index.php/controller/method/argument 1/argument 2/etc. I did a search and didn't find this in the user guide and trying to pass the arguments as normal get variables didn't seem to work either.

Thanks in advance

Add slashed params

http://www.example.com/controller/functi...param2/etc

I believe you'll only get /id/ passed to your controller, but the rest should be captured with $this->uri->segment(n) or other Uri class functions

EDIT:

Your function will be passed URI segments 3 and 4 ("sandals" and "123"):

Doesn't get much clearer than that.

what arguments are u expected come from?.. as exemple, it could come from anything.

Code:

function student_detail($id){
  $s='SELECT * FROM student WHERE behaviour="'.$this->input->post('too_naughty').'" ORDER BY boob '.$this->session->userdata('sort');
  $q=$this->db->query($s);
  $data['result']=$query->result_array();
  $this->load->view('student_detail',$data);
}

I'm using query strings Colin, not slashed params i.e. index.php?c=controller&m=method. Are you suggesting passing urls like index.php?c=controller&m=method/param1/param2/ ? That doesn't seem right.


for example, let's say I've got a main controller and a search method Normally I would go
index.php/main/search/keywords/

to get my search results. However using query strings I have to go to the URL index.php?m=main&c=search. How do I pass the keywords without using a $_POST variable? If I try &keywords=some+keywords, I can't retrieve it as a $_GET variable.

hooo.... $this->input->get(), as writen at <a href="http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/input.html">User Guide</a> $this->input->get('something') as replacement for $_GET.

..but i havent tested yet dough. >_<

i wonder how does 'index.php?c=class&f=function&p1=param1' could be able in CI in the first place?

on my perspective it would be nicer if 'index.php/c/class/f/function/p1/param1' to read.. <soon i'll put some .htacces to remove 'index.php' part>

[eluser]metaltapimenye[/eluser]
i found it..

..and tried it.. for sure 'query string' development in CI havent end yet.

Code:

function something(){#i still cannot get the way to put argument in it
  $a=$this->input->get('a');
  $b=$this->input->get('b');
  return $a.$b;}

Awesome, thanks! Yeah, I like the /controller/method/arg1/arg2/ version too, but unfortunately I can't use it on this project due to the company hosting their domain with their cms provider (which has some messed up htaccess rules)

example.com/controller/method/var1/var2

translates to

Code:

class Controller {
     function method($var1 = '', $var2 = '') {
     }
}

edit: basically what Michael said in his first reply.

He's looking for normal query strings, not CI url segments. Listen to the mans request ;-)

I'm very glad they added $this->input->get(); it has made everyone's lives a little easier.
