URLs as parameters |
[eluser]marlar[/eluser]
Hi, I need to supply a URL as a parameter, like: mysite.com/bookmark/add/http://www.example.com/somepage.html Here bookmark/add is the controller/function, and the rest is the parameter. But CI thinks it's all a bunch of segments so it doesn't work. What can I do about this? Regards, Martin

Im no expert in CI yet, so im just putting this out there: As a quick work around you could use the function: $this->uri->uri_string() To return a string of the url, this should look like: bookmark/add/http://www.example.com/somepage.html Then you could use a simple substr, or str_replace... i.e.: $string = $this->uri->uri_string(); $url = str_replace('bookmark/add/','', $string); this should return: http://www.example.com/somepage.html Its a kinda long winded way of doing it, and im sure someone else will come up with a solution, but it might be a quick fix for you.

Thanks! That will probably do it. Must check as soon as I get time.

You could also urlencode() the URL: Code: $my_link = 'bookmark/add/'.urlencode('http://www.example.com/somepage.html');

Yes, but I want sometimes to manually add the URLs in the address field of the browser :-)
