Question

I hate the codeigniter custom urls where it’s: domain.com/controller/action/id

How can I have it like a normal website like: domain.com/controller.php

Anyone know how to disable that?

(using the latest codeigniter)

If you hate it, you might be not ready to jump in a framework like codeigniter. Rest like urls are a big feature, so the url has some actually meaning, and not just a pointer for something. It’s ok if you are used to something like example.com/person.php?id=123&action=seeprofile, instead of example.com./person/profile/123 but how can’t you see the beauty of it? You just should check out some experts explaining why you should do it like that, and why everyone else are doing it like that.

EDIT:
You should check this pages of the docs, so you can understand the neat of this great feature.
