In it you'll see an array called <dfn>$route</dfn> that -permits you to specify your own routing criteria. Routes can either be specified using <dfn>wildcards</dfn> or <dfn>Regular Expressions</dfn></p> - - -<h2>Wildcards</h2> - -<p>A typical wildcard route might look something like this:</p> - -<code>$route['product/:num'] = "catalog/product_lookup";</code> - -<p>In a route, the array key contains the URI to be matched, while the array value contains the destination it should be re-routed to. -In the above example, if the literal word "product" is found in the first segment of the URL, and a number is found in the second segment, -the "catalog" class and the "product_lookup" method are instead used.</p> - -<p>You can match literal values or you can use two wildcard types:</p> - -<p><strong>(:num)</strong> will match a segment containing only numbers.<br /> -<strong>(:any)</strong> will match a segment containing any character. -</p> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Routes will run in the order they are defined. -Higher routes will always take precedence over lower ones.</p> - -<h2>Examples</h2> - -<p>Here are a few routing examples:</p> - -<code>$route['journals'] = "blogs";</code> -<p>A URL containing the word "journals" in the first segment will be remapped to the "blogs" class.</p> - -<code>$route['blog/joe'] = "blogs/users/34";</code> -<p>A URL containing the segments blog/joe will be remapped to the "blogs" class and the "users" method. The ID will be set to "34".</p> - -<code>$route['product/(:any)'] = "catalog/product_lookup";</code> -<p>A URL with "product" as the first segment, and anything in the second will be remapped to the "catalog" class and the "product_lookup" method.</p> - -<code>$route['product/(:num)'] = "catalog/product_lookup_by_id/$1";</code> -<p>A URL with "product" as the first segment, and a number in the second will be remapped to the "catalog" class and the "product_lookup_by_id" method passing in the match as a variable to the function.</p> - -<p class="important"><strong>Important:</strong> Do not use leading/trailing slashes.</p> - -<h2>Regular Expressions</h2> - -<p>If you prefer you can use regular expressions to define your routing rules. Any valid regular expression is allowed, as are back-references.</p> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> If you use back-references you must use the dollar syntax rather than the double backslash syntax.</p> - -<p>A typical RegEx route might look something like this:</p> - -<code>$route['products/([a-z]+)/(\d+)'] = "$1/id_$2";</code> - -<p>In the above example, a URI similar to <dfn>products/shirts/123</dfn> would instead call the <dfn>shirts</dfn> controller class and the <dfn>id_123</dfn> function.</p> - -<p>You can also mix and match wildcards with regular expressions.</p> - -<h2>Reserved Routes</h2> - -<p>There are two reserved routes:</p> - -<code>$route['default_controller'] = 'welcome';</code> - -<p>This route indicates which controller class should be loaded if the URI contains no data, which will be the case -when people load your root URL. In the above example, the "welcome" class would be loaded. You -are encouraged to always have a default route otherwise a 404 page will appear by default.</p> - -<code>$route['404_override'] = '';</code> - -<p>This route indicates which controller class should be loaded if the requested controller is not found. It will override the default 404 -error page. It won't affect to the <samp>show_404()</samp> function, which will continue loading the default <dfn>error_404.php</dfn> file at <var>application/errors/error_404.php</var>.</p> - -<p class="important"><strong>Important:</strong> The reserved routes must come before any wildcard or regular expression routes.</p> - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="common_functions.html">Common Functions</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="errors.html">Error Handling</a> -</p> -<p><a href="http://codeigniter.com">CodeIgniter</a> · Copyright © 2006 - 2011 · <a href="http://ellislab.com/">EllisLab, Inc.</a></p> -</div> - -</body> -</html>
