I have a codeigniter website where the request urls take the form:
example.com/segment1/segment2/segment3 where:
segment 1 is a folder name
segment 2 is a controller name
segment 3 is a function name
I want to remap these requests to:
example.com/segment2/segment3
I have tried this in my*routes.php* config:
$route['(:any)/(:any)/(:any)'] = "$2/$3/$1";
The reqyest that shows up in my browser's address bar is unchanged :
example.com/segment1/segment2/segment3
How can I fix this?
You can add this to your .htaccess file (as you mentioned your folder is static):
RewriteRule ^(.*)?/(.*)?$ your-folder-here/$1/$2 [L,NC]
This will work but this would overwrite every possible URLS.
$route['(:any)/(:any)'] = 'controller_name/$1/$2';
In order to make other controllers work, you have to define before the above statement
$route['other_controller_1/(:any)'] = 'other_controller_1/$1';
$route['other_controller_2/(:any)'] = 'other_controller_2/$1';
