Route URL with GET parameters to cleaner URL

Hi Vendiddy,

I set up a referral system on one of my CI sites, which allowed the user to take any page / controller / method etc and attach a ?ref=userid to it.

What I did assumes that query_string is still set to OFF for CI.

in the pre_controller hook, you can still process $_GET as CI hasn't gotten ahold of it yet.

Here is what I would do: at this point in time there are only two classes loaded for CI, so you have to use native PHP code for everything
I would actually recomend only having this run on the page that can accept this as well.
pre_controller hook:

Code:

if (isset($_GET['token']))
{
    header("Location: /umdcal.php/application/test/" . urlencode($_GET['token']));
    unset($_GET['token']);
}

... or if you think of something else besides a header redirect. Make sure you do the unset() though, that way CI doesn't see it, as it would throw a 404 as you are currently experiencing.
