Hi there,
I recently discovered the uri->segement_array feature. I am having some trouble getting it working properly though. Maybe im thinking it should be doing stuff it cant. basically i have a page with multiple options to allow a user to refine a set of results. This means in need to allow key value pairs to be passed via the url which i will then use to refine my results, i was of the understanding that i would be able to define an array of defaults that would be used if the uri /key/value pair wasnt set and it wouldnt matter if some were not set or what order they were set in?
i have .htaccess removing index.php so the controller currently aiming to use this script is
home/ i have a route set up for this which is
Code:
$route['home/(:any)'] = 'home/index/$1';
then i want to be able to use pagination and pass params to functions from the array so my uri segments might look like this
home/num/5/offset/10/band/someband/venue/somevenue
then i might again look something like this
home/band/someband/venue/somevenue
am i missing something crucial here or does it just not work this way? should i be checking if those key value pairs are set in the array created by ruri->segment_array() ??
any help is greatly appreciated
here's a stripped down version of my controller
Code:
public function index()
{
//create an array for the default uri settings
$defaults = array(
'num' => 10,
'offset' => 0,
'table' => 'gigs',
'column' => 'view',
'order' => 'DESC'
);
$params = $this->ruri->uri_to_assoc(3,$defaults);
//pull all the gigs from database
$gigs = $this->gig_model->get_gigs();
Thanks Mike
