How to cache routes.php in Codeigniter

Question

I have e-commerce web site and which has about 9000 item and am trying to make each of them SEO coherent. So here is my route codes. But as you predict which will make my site slower and.using caches all routes may solve my problem.

$route['default_controller'] = 'home';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;

require_once(BASEPATH .'database/DB.php');
require_once(APPPATH . 'helpers/tools_helper.php');
$db = &DB();
$query = $db->get('urunler');
$result = $query->result();
//echo"<pre>";print_r($result);exit;

foreach($result as $sonuc){

   $route[convertToSEO($sonuc->Urun_adi)]  = "urunler/urun/".$sonuc->Urun_kodu;
}

but I dont know what i am going to do!

Answer 1

Why you can not do it with just controllers ?

class urunler extends CI_Controller{
    public function urun($id){
        //code
    }
}
