Answer 1

You handle it through applications/config/routes.php
consider you url: localhost/Naveen/CodeIgniter/welcome/insertform
$route['add'] = 'welcome/insertform';
now you can use localhost/Naveen/CodeIgniter/add
You can change whatever the string you want for any controller/function using routes.
Hope you understood :)

Answer 2

You need to add the url in route and add link to your link href
In route.php add:
$route['custom_url'] = 'controller/method';

Answer 3

I used Header("location:../{whatever-filename}")
Then gave that "whatever-filename" the proper routing in the config/routes.php.
Routing without using the redirect function would load the appropriate page but the url would still show the controller and method you're using.
Hope it helps
