Codeigniter specific URL rewriting

Question

In one of my CI application I got a controller called movies in which I am showing details of a movie, its URL looks like

http://localhost/movies/index/12/Movie-Name

here 12 is the movie id which is used for fetching values from db and movie name, which is using for SEO URL.

I would likes to rewrite this URL to

http://localhost/12-Movie-Name

I already removed index.php from my application using http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite

Please help Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Maybe try

RewriteRule    ^/([0-9]+)\-([^/]+?)/?$  /movies/index/$1/$2

Although it may cause problems with other parts of your Codeigniter application.

Answer 2

or you can add this to Codeigniter router

$router['/(:any)'] = 'movies/index/12/$1';

but your movies id need to set as string with title.
