URL shortening service

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
It depends how many more controllers you have. If it's a url shortener service the controllers will be limited so you can add them to the route config file

Code:

$route['([a-zA-Z0-9]+)'] = 'snip/url/$1';
$route['(upload|login)(.*)'] = '$1$2';

To go to the snip/index method snip will be the a value of the first parameter so you snip is a reserved word that you check in the url method.

If you have quite a few controllers you can add a tilde for example before the actual shortened part so you get http://uqyg.com/~MwqJE which you can route.

Code:

$route['~([a-zA-Z0-9]+)'] = 'snip/url/$1';
