I am looking to make a custom route using the CodeIgniter framework. I am trying to make the URL like so:
http://localhost/accounts/Auth.dll?signin
So far I have tried adding the following to my routes.php config file:
$route['accounts/Auth.dll?signin'] = "accounts/signin";
but as you would guess, it doesn't work. I have also tried escaping the characters like this:
$route['accounts/Auth\.dll\?signin'] = "accounts/signin";
and that doesn't work either. I've also tried including the leading and trailing slashes .. that didn't work either. Anyone know by chance what could solve my issue?
I highly recommend to use a SEF routing.
But if for any reason you're not eager to, you could check the query string inside the Accounts
Controller, and then invoke the proper method, as follows:
Router:
$route['accounts/Auth.dll'] = "accounts";
Controller:
class Accounts extends CI_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
# Call the CI_Controller constructor
parent::__construct();
# Fetch the query string
if ($method = $this->input->server('QUERY_STRING', TRUE)) {
# Check whether the method exists
if (method_exists($this, $method)) {
# Invoke the method
call_user_func(array($this, $method));
}
}
}
protected function signin()
{
# Your logic here
}
}
This allows you to invoke the methods by query string automatically.
I am not sure, that its okay to use GET-params in routes.php config.
Try such way:
routes.php
$route['accounts/Auth.dll'] = "accounts/index";
accounts.php
public function index() {
if ($this->input->get('signin') != false) {
$this->signin();
}
}
private function signin() {
// some code
}
But, as for me, it's bad way.
I recommend you just use another routing:
/accounts/Auth.dll/signin
And etc.
