Using strings for URI Segments in CodeIgniter
If you have used Kohana before, you'll notice that their URI::segment() function accepts strings. CodeIgniter's s URI::segment doesn't.
Here's a way to extend the URI class to accept strings.
<?php
class MY_URI extends CI_URI{
function rsegment($string, $default = FALSE)
{
if (ctype_digit((string) $string))
{
return parent::rsegment($string, $default);
}
if ($key = array_search($string, $this->rsegments) AND isset($this->rsegments[$key+1]))
{
return $this->rsegments[$key+1];
}
return FALSE;
}
function segment($string, $default = FALSE)
{
if (ctype_digit((string) $string))
{
return parent::segment($string, $default);
}
if ($key = array_search($string, $this->rsegments) AND isset($this->rsegments[$key+1]))
{
return $this->segments[$key+1];
}
return FALSE;
}
}
