In CodeIgniter, you can hide the controller name in the URL by setting up a default controller in the "routes.php" configuration file, located in the "application/config" directory. Here's how you can do it:
- Open the "routes.php" file and set the default controller by adding the following code:
$route['default_controller'] = 'YourDefaultController';
Replace "YourDefaultController" with the name of the controller you want to be the default one.
- In your default controller, define a method that will handle all requests that do not match a specific URL pattern. For example:
class YourDefaultController extends CI_Controller { public function index() { // your code here } public function _remap($method) { if (method_exists($this, $method)) { $this->$method(); } else { // redirect to a 404 error page } } }
This method, called "_remap", will allow you to handle all requests that don't match a specific URL pattern, such as the one defined by a specific method in the controller.
- Save the changes and test your application. The controller name should now be hidden in the URL.
For example, if you previously had a URL like this:
http://example.com/YourController/method
It should now be like this:
http://example.com/method
Keep in mind that you'll need to update your links and URLs throughout your application to match the new URL structure.
