Dynamic URLs in CodeIgniter ?

Question

How to get URLs like /user/bob user/martin dynamically in CodeIgniter?

Answer 1

You need to set up custom routing for the controller in application/config/routes.php, e.g.

$route['user/(:any)'] = "user/user_controller_method/$1";

Answer 2

you should use the

$route['user/(:any)'] = "user/user_controller_method/$1";

as James suggested, and then define the funcion on the user controller:

function user_controller_method($username) {
   // ... $username should be the url param
}
