URL rewriting rules

[eluser]loosetops[/eluser]
Use the routes file. config/routes.php

Code:

$route['about\.php'] = 'home/about';

You should first get rid of the index.php in the URL so that the route definitions are less cluttered.

To get rid of it

.htaccess

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

and in the config.php

Code:

$config['index_page'] = "";
