Route using database information

[eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser]
Aken, my class is meant to save aliases (routes) to useful URLs.

For instance, say someone saves a page and wants the path to be example.com/about-us/our-team. The controller is 'Page' and it has a method called 'view' that accepts a page id. So, somewhere in the process of saving this page we would create the alias:

Code:

// ...
$this->load->library('alias');
$this->alias->create($_POST['url'], 'page/view/'. $this->db->insert_id());
// ...

You would now have in db_routes.php:

Code:

$route['about-us/our-team'] = 'page/view/223';

It only creates one file, not many.
