使用Codeigniter中的URI路由清理页面URL

Question

Here is my folder structure

application
    |
    controllers
              |
              Pages.php
    |
    views
        |
        pages
             about.php
             home.php

I want to access my about.php page by just going to base_url/about but i keep getting The requested URL localhost/appfolder/about was not found on this server.

Here is how my Pages controller looks like

<?php
class Pages extends CI_Controller{
    public function view($page = 'home'){
        if(!file_exists(APPPATH.'views/pages/'.$page.'.php')){
            show_404();
        }
        $data['title'] = ucfirst($page);
        $this->load->view('templates/header');
        $this->load->view('pages/'.$page, $data);
        $this->load->view('templates/footer');
    }
}

and my routes.php looks like this

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');


$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';

$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;

What am I not doing right?

Answer 1

You need to replace / by DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR in file_exists function. It should work by now. And in routes.php default_controller should be pages , not pages/view .
