Codeigniter URL ReWriting Issue

Question

I am working a codeigniter project. for example I have a controller Blog and a method category with param. When i go to a link <a href="domain.com/blog/category/2">Developer Blog</a> it works fine. which redirect to a page developer blog . Is it possible to rewrite the url as domain.com/blog/developer-blog dynamically ? Thank you.

Answer 1

Open your application/config/routes.php and try following (if you want exact as mentioned in question)

$route['blog/developer-blog'] = 'blog/category/2';
$route['blog/user-blog'] = 'blog/category/3';

for dynamic routing you may use this

$route['blog/developer-blog/(:num)'] = 'blog/category/$1';
$route['blog/user-blog/(:num)'] = 'blog/category/$1';

so your URL now should be looks like https://domain.com/blog/developer-blog/1 , https://domain.com/blog/developer-blog/2

or https://domain.com/blog/user-blog/1 , https://domain.com/blog/user-blog/2 etc
