A more-useful uri_to_assoc

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
I recognize there could be problems but i still believe the percentage is minimal even with user input. Benjamin's example made it a little clearer but having a category tags and being able to add tags as a keyword still is far fetched IMO. Why should a visitor use forward slashes in his input and why should the code depend on it, if it's not a part of the site structure?

If you are not comfortable using the segment method mod i provided you could use a method that wraps the uri_to_assoc method

Code:

function get_sim($start,$key,$not_found = false)
{
   $pseudo_get = $this->uri_to_assoc($start);

   return (isset($pseudo_get[$key])) ? $pseudo_get[$key] : $not_found ;
}

I tried to create a function that doesn't make the use of the segment methods more complex adding a get like functionality.
