Load a page like "$_REQUEST" |

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie with CI and I am trying to do the porting of a website from its "old style" to CI, but I wouldn't like to change all the website's structure. I have some questions about the links. My actual situation is an index page with header, footer and menu, that has a central area where a traditional Code: require($_REQUEST['page']); Code: index.php?page=myPage Thanks in advance for your help.

If you don't want to change the links on your page, I would suggest creating either a controller for each page, or a central 'page' controller, and having a function for each page. Then just have a .htaccess mod_rewrite set up to redirect your current URL to a CI-friendly one. I.e. Controller: page Function: myPage URL (in browser): http://mysite.com/index.php?page=myPage URL (as redirected by htaccess) http://mysite.com/page/myPage

Thanks for your help. I can change the links, no problem. What I wouldn't change is the actual "structure", where I have the index page that "hosts" the content in its designated area. I can change the menu's links if it is necessary to better achieve the MVC paradigm and the CodeIgniter way of making links. What I am missing here is where and how I have to put the "p=MyPage" variable to pass it to the View. e.g. in the index View I have to write something like $this->load->view(MyPage) where MyPage changes every time. Is this variable passed by the Controller of the other pages or by the Controller of the Index page or what else? thanks again

I've tried.. there's something wrong in my approach. Here's the situation: config/routes.php Code: ... Controller of the Index page: Code: function index() it returns this error when I load the index page: An Error Was Encountered Unable to load the requested file: .php and then, I don't know how to set the index view to load the content in the proper area... I am sorry if I'm bothering you...

Have you loaded the URI library? (either auto-loaded or with $this->load->library('uri'); ) EDIT: disregard that, I forgot it's loaded automatically... Can you try: $a = $this->uri->segment(3); print_r($a) And advise what it returns. EDIT2: Also, if you try to access /page/ for example, it will error without having an if/else to check for a valid page name.

Whoops! That's my bad - it should be segment(2) not 3!
