Question

So, I am having a big time problem.

I am using CodeIgniter. I have a website running that has a lot of pages, so URLs get too big and they look too bad. So what I want to do, is shorten my URLs. For example:

www.abc.com/main/home/promotion/deals

I want to make something like this:

www.abc.com/deals

So my question is, How should I do this thing in CodeIgniter? Is there a built in helper or library for handling my problem?

Answer 1

You should definitely check out the URI Routing.

In your case:

$route['deals'] = "main/home/promotion/deals";
