Routing 'page.php?a=1&b=2'

[eluser]iConTM[/eluser]
Can I do something like this?

Code:

$route['gotoartik.php\?articID=(:num)'] = "articles/article/$1";

This didn't work for me.

Greetings

That would depend a lot on you configuration settings for the paths. Whether you have enabled query strings or not. I had q nightmare of a time working with query strings for a twitter oauth integration and from what I recall the routing class and configuration are not built to handle them. Run a find in all files for the $_GET and you will find some treating stuff.

My dev box is dead or I'd try and find some examples of my tests. For now I am stuck forum crawling from the iPod. Mind if I ask why you need that route? Is it due to an interface with another app that only supports query strings? What I did once was add a mod early in the ci cycle processing cycle was to rewrite the URL turning the query string into a uri. Also, a fancy htacess might be your friend here.

I'm looking for a way to redirect the old urls of a webpage to the new urls (url friendly)

so

gotoartik.php?articID=1

needs to be converted to:

articles/article/1

thanks for the comments

this doesn't work

I also tried to put a rule in a .htaccess file:

something like

Code:

RewriteEngineOn
RewriteRule getArtik.php\?articID=([0-9]+) articles/article/$1

but I get an error cause of the questionmark

when I remove the questionmark it works:

Code:

RewriteRule getArtik.phparticID=([0-9]+) articles/article/$1
