Question

I need some help with redirection.

I want to redirect a url as shown in the address bar as below:

http://cricruns.com/venue/india/M.A.-Chidambaram

To a redirected url as below:

http://cricruns.com/index.php/venue/stadium?name=M.A.-Chidambaram&tournament=World-Cup-2011

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

Have you not tried the CodeIgniter User Guide?

• http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html

redirect()

Does a “header redirect” to the URI
specified. If you specify the full
site URL that link will be build, but
for local links simply providing the
URI segments to the controller you
want to direct to will create the
link. The function will build the URL
based on your config file values.

The optional second parameter allows
you to choose between the “location”
method (default) or the “refresh”
method. Location is faster, but on
Windows servers it can sometimes be a
problem. The optional third parameter
allows you to send a specific HTTP
Response Code – this could be used for
example to create 301 redirects for
search engine purposes. The default
Response Code is 302. The third
parameter is only available with
‘location’ redirects, and not
‘refresh’.

Example:

if ($logged_in == FALSE)
{
     redirect('/login/form/', 'refresh');
}

// with 301 redirect
redirect('/article/13', 'location', 301);
