Question regarding the uri + more

2) The most common way is to have a method that is just designed to accept a form submission (via POST) and redirect to another method that will handle that search. Something like this:

Code:

function search($query = NULL) {
  if ($this->input->post('q')) {
    redirect('search/' . $this->input->post('q'));
    return;
  }

  if ($query !== NULL) {
    // Do your search and display results
  }
}

You would then also need to define a route to translate any request to search/term to search/search/term - easy stuff and you get your linkable SEO friendly search results.


3) CodeIgniter (out of the box) does not support the ending of a session on browser close, but there are numerous posts around the forums that will instruct you on how to enable this functionality. Switching to another session library is a bit overkill to enable this really basic functionality.
