Question

I have the latest codeigniter version, and was wondering how can i get the segments in a url by their parameter name. For instance, here is a sample url:

www.somewebsitedomain.com/param1=something/param2=somethingelse/

now lets say i want to get the value for ‘param1’, which is ‘something’, how would i do so using the uri class?

Because by default the uri class only gets segments by number, or the order in which they appear, but i want to get segments by the parameter name in that segment. Or in general just get the parameter value. Hope that makes sense…

Answer 1

You could do $this->uri->uri_to_assoc(n) which will give something like the following

[array]
 (
'name' => 'joe'
'location'  => 'UK'
'gender'    => 'male'
)

Then just just the param name you would like.
