Hi to all developers...
My question is about
routing and redirect bad
URLs.
Suppose I've a controller,
User, with some methods,
method_1,
method_2,
method_3. When I passed parameters to methods:
My_URL/user/method_1/integer
My_URL/user/method_2/chars
etc.
In each method, first I validate passed parameter and then do operations.
My question is: when users type something like these:
My_URL/user/method_1/integer/integer/chars
My_URL/user/method_2/chars/integer/integer
or some bad URLs like these,
is it a good approach to handle these problems with routing?
in fact, I write these routing (I know the first ones has more precedence):
PHP Code:
$route['user/method_1/(:num)'] = 'user/method_1/$1';
$route['user/method_1/(:any)'] = 'user/index';
I test it in localhost and every thing is good. When I enter bad URLs, like:
My_URL/user/method_1/integer/integer/chars
I redirect to user's index method.
Is it a good handling?
What is cos and pros?
Is it better I check in each method total segments and do handling there (URI library, [b]total_segments() methods)?[/b]
thanks...
