Question

I’m trying to capture slashes from a url and pass them into my controller. Here’s an example of my problem:

Let’s say I GET http://localhost/here/is/an/example where my route looks like:

$routes['here/is/(:any)'] = 'my_controller/$1';

and I have the following function definition in my_controller:

public function index($rest_of_the_path) {
...
}

I would like the value of $rest_of_the_path to be 'an/example', but it actually equals 'an'. How can I structure my code so I get what I want?

P.S.: I’m using Codeigniter 2.1.3

You can simply do this:

public function index() {
    $rest_of_the_path = implode("/", func_get_args());  
    ...
}
