I need

Code:

http://www.hellhorror.com/demon-names-16.html

to go to

Code:

http://www.hellhorror.com/demons/demonology/16/DYNAMIC-NAME.html

with a header of 301 permanent redirect

How may I do it??
In routing, a seperate file that checks the segment then checks the DB and inserts the file-name?

Best optimized solution please.

Do you have a lot of these names? Would it make sense to just use a simple .htaccess 301 redirect?

[eluser]RaZoR LeGaCy[/eluser]
I have hundreds in different sections so this is much needed

Be warned, I'm a noob, so take this advice with a pinch of salt :cheese:

Could you use an apache Rewrite Map? You could have a PHP script to write a new map file when new pages are added/needed. Otherwise I guess you could always route to a script that figures out where to redirect the user to (using the URI class and your DB tables) and send a Redirect().

lets try again in the forums

Still wondered how to do this

Can you explain how you get your original ==> http://www.hellhorror.com/demon-names-16.html

Is a user typing it into a browser, from a database, Codeigniter link, link from another webpage, etc

Well if you want CI to handle this - I still think you need some sort of way to list the urls that you want redirected - unless you just modify your query and then setup your $route[':any'] to go to a custom method on your controller to redirect to the new page.

That's one option.

[eluser]RaZoR LeGaCy[/eluser]
how would I actually code that.

I only understood the $route[':any'] and where that goes. The rest just blew over my head

LoL Sorry

A little explaination please

You can probably write a small library with a method using the PHP magic __autoload method in combination with a regular expression composed of the fixed portion of the filename, plus the dynamic part of the file name. Do a web search on 'PHP __autoload' (that is, one word composed of two underscores followed the string 'autoload'). Then load the library in your controller to use whatever you call the autoload method.
