I am working on a config file that I get my contents from database and set them in my config

application/config/setting.php

As you can see below I can require the database file fine,

Is there any way to be able to require codeigniter URI segments

Because currently I have to get segments like this  so would be better if I could use the url in my config file any ideas how to load url helper in my config file below 

cheers.

PHP Code:

$segments = explode('/', trim(parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH), '/'));
$numSegments = count($segments); 
$currentSegment = $segments[$numSegments - 3]; 


PHP Code:

<?php

$config = array();

require_once(BASEPATH . 'database/DB.php');

$db =& DB();

$db->where('type', 'config');
$query = $db->get($db->dbprefix . 'setting');

foreach ($query->result_array() as $result) {
    $config[$result['item']] = $result['value'];
}

$segments = explode('/', trim(parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH), '/'));
$numSegments = count($segments); 
$currentSegment = $segments[$numSegments - 3];

if ($currentSegment == 'admin') {
    $db->where('code', config_item('admin_language'));
} elseif ($currentSegment != 'admin') {
    $db->where('code', config_item('language'));
}

$lang_query = $db->get($db->dbprefix . 'language');

if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
    $config['language']    = strtolower($lang_query->row()->name);
} else {
    $config['language']    = 'english';
}

Hi,

You could use a post_controller_constructor hook
Where you have access to CI super object.

Hook.php

PHP Code:

$hook['post_controller_constructor'] = array(
        'function' => 'config_hook',
        'filename' => 'hook_config.php',
        'filepath' => 'hooks'
    ); 


hook_config.php

PHP Code:

function config_hook()
{
    $CI =& get_instance();
    $uri_string = $CI->uri->uri_string();
    $CI->db->where('field', 'value');
    $query = $CI->get('table');
    // etc..
    
} 


Don't forget to enable hooks in config.php

Thanks for the help all.

I load my hooks now like

PHP Code:

$hook['pre_controller'][] = array(
        'class'    => 'Language',
        'function' => 'set',
        'filename' => 'Language.php',
        'filepath' => 'hooks'
); 

$hook['pre_controller'][] = array(
        'class'    => 'Setting',
        'function' => 'set',
        'filename' => 'Setting.php',
        'filepath' => 'hooks'
); 


And  my language hook

PHP Code:

<?php

class Language {

    public function set()
    {
        $this->CI =& get_instance();

        $this->CI->load->library('site');

        if ($this->CI->uri->segment(1) == 'admin')
        {
            $this->CI->db->where('code', $this->CI->site->get('admin_language'));
            $query = $this->CI->db->get($this->CI->db->dbprefix . 'language');

            $this->CI->config->set_item('admin_language', strtolower($query->row()->name));

            $this->CI->config->set_item('language', strtolower($query->row()->name));

            $this->CI->lang->load('admin/general', strtolower($query->row()->name));
        }
    }
} 


And my setting hook

PHP Code:

<?php

class Setting {

    public function set()
    {
        $this->CI =& get_instance();

        $this->CI->db->where('item', 'url');
        $query = $this->CI->db->get($this->CI->db->dbprefix . 'setting');

        $this->CI->config->set_item('base_url', $query->row()->value);
    }
}
