Question

I am new to CodeIgniter bu I know CakePHP pretty well.

If I rewrite the following:

test -> welcome/login
test/(:any) -> welcome/login/$1

When I write my links i want to put a link to “welcome/login/asdas” in code and to be parsed as “test/asdas”. CakePHP did that using the html link or router::url

EDIT:

What I mean is site_url(‘welcome/login/asd’) should return “test/asd”

I think that this is not possible. Actually, CodeIgniter just re-route your app from one URL to other using routes defined previously by yourself in route.php

This is the most far that you can go. site_url is an internal CodeIgniter function that returns your site URL as you specify in config.php file

site_url()

Returns your site URL, as specified in
your config file. The index.php file
(or whatever you have set as your site
index_page in your config file) will
be added to the URL, as will any URI
segments you pass to the function.

You are encouraged to use this
function any time you need to generate
a local URL so that your pages become
more portable in the event your URL
changes.

Segments can be optionally passed to
the function as a string or an array.
Here is a string example:

echo site_url(“news/local/123”); The
above example would return something
like:
http://example.com/index.php/news/local/123

I’ll try to study site_url function located in url_helper.php file (system/helpers/url_helper.php | Line 42) and modify it to do whatever I want.
