Question

I’m planning on re-creating my lyrics website in CodeIgniter.
At the moment, the way I have it set-up is like this:
example.com/artistname and example.com/anotherartist

I also have example.com/contact and example.com/request etc..

I can get it to be example.com/artist/artistname, but I’d really like to keep it simple for the user to memorize the urls.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks,
Maikel

In application/config/routes.php try:

$route['contact'] = 'contact'; // /contact to contact controller
$route['request'] = 'request'; // /request to request controller
$route['(.*)'] = 'artist/display/$1'; // anything to artist controller, display method with the string as parameter
