加载页面并更改URL

Question

I've noticed that when $this->load->view('page.php)' is used, the URL in the browser does not change, ie. if we came from ../step_1.php and loaded to ../step_2.php , the url will still be ../step_1.php .

I am making a multi-step form wherein all steps are handled by one controller and I've learned that the best way to handle such situations is using load . The problem is that I do not want the past page's URL to be shown but the new page's. I know redirect('page_controller') can achieve this but it would be unpractical (redirecting within the controller).

Does anyone have an idea why this happens?

EDIT:

I found an explanation regarding CI's view and redirect from this link .

views -> shows a page in the previous page's URL

redirect -> shows a page in its own URL

Answer 1

function step_1()
{
    load_page($step_1);
}

Instead of calling load_page from your view build your pages out in the controller as above, then call the appropriate page. CI uses the controller method as the URL. To my knowledge there is no way to change this behaviour.

Answer 2

class test{
{
    public function view()
    {

      switch($this->uri->segment(2))
      {
      case $this->uri->segment(2) == 'part1':
        $this->load->view('part1');
      break;
      case $this->uri->segment(2) == 'part2':
          $this->load->view('part2');
      break;
      }

    }
}

OR

class test{
{
    public function view($page)
    {

      switch($page)
      {
      case $page == 'part1':
        $this->load->view('part1');
      break;
      case $page == 'part2':
          $this->load->view('part2');
      break;
      }

    }
}




test/view/part1
will go to view part1
test/view/part2
will go to view part2

you could try something like this, this is not tested tell me if there are errors
