Question

I’m trying to fetch control name from URL and match it with correct controller dynamically in index.php.

My app root : /localhost/app/index.php

So basically when i typed /localhost/app/index.php/home, trying to inlude home_controller.php.
Here is code;

 $parts = array_slice(explode('/',$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]),3);
 if(file_exists(dirname(__FILE__)."/controllers/".$parts[0].'_controller.php'))
 {
    include dirname(__FILE__)."/controllers/".$parts[0].'_controller.php';
 }

It works fine if the app root depth is 3. It’s broken when i changed app directory like
localhost/first/second/app/index.php/home

Because it’s explode by 3, $parts[0] is no longer “home”
The question is how can i detect controller part in a more efficient way?

Answer 1

I used $_SERVER paht_info variable to calculate, controller part..

  $segments = array_slice(explode("/", $_SERVER["PATH_INFO"] ),1);

Zero index of $segment array is the controller part and the other parts is the function.
Btw you need to check array boundries and whether path_info is set or not.
