Question

After searching a lot around, I decided to post this matter here.

I am working with codeigniter ( latest release). I need to have the URLs of my site working like below.

[username] / [controller] / [action] / [parameters]

as you can see the username is leading on the URL rest follows as normal. I need to fetch the username and get some data for the site so that that site could be customized according to his settings.

I tried to achieve this with .htaccess but had no luck. Then I checked with routing on code igniter, but I am not sure whether it’s the right solid solution for me. can someone give me any leading on this. is this possible ?

Thanks

I would advise to use the routing option from Codeigniter.
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/routing.html

$route['(:any)/user/viewprofile/(:num)'] = controllername/functionname/$2"; 

This way you can build classes and functions in an nicely ordered way.And keep it in codeigniter.
