Writing URL variables in CodeIgniter? - php

I'm working on a project using CodeIgniter, though I still a bit new on this PHP language framework.
I need to create multiple variables URL in CodeIgniter like:
index.php?page=10&filter=voted
How do you write it in CI? I know if it's only one variable then it should be
index.php/page/10
If the URL contains two or more variables, should it be like this or not? And how do you retrieve them since it uses URI Segment?
index.php/page/10/filter/voted
Much thanks for the help!

you can get data using segment.
$this->uri->segment(1);
$this->uri->segment(2);
$this->uri->segment(3);
or
get all segment in array
$segment = $this->uri->segment_array();
print_r($segment);

Access URL param from Input::get() with laravel

I have a route like this:
Route::get('demo/{system?}', 'MonitorController#demo');
I am using it like so because I would like my url to look like so:
mysite.com/demo/spain-system
Where spain-system will be the variable I need to get.
Right now, I'm getting it like this:
public function demo($systemName = null){
}
But I would like to be able to access to it as if it were a URL parameter with Input::get('system') so I can access to it from other methods or even from other controllers such as BaseController.php.
Is there any way to achieve this?
I've played around with Route::input('system') but then it doesn't work when I pass it as a get parameter (in other Ajax calls and so on)
Update
In PHP we can get URL params by using the $_GET function and laravel provides the function Input::get() to do so as well.
If there were no routes in laravel, I would make use of .htaccess rewrite rules to change this:
mysite.com/demo/?system=spain-system
To this:
mysite.com/demo/spain-system
And I could still retrieve the variable system as a GET parameter by using $_GET["system"].
That's kind of what I would expect of laravel, but it seems it is just treating it as the parameter of the demo method and not really as a URL variable.
Is there any way to keep treating it as a URL variable and at the same time use it in a pretty URL without the ?system= ?
So you actually just want to get an url like this? mysite.com/demo/spain-system instead of mysite.com/demo/?system=spain-system? Laravel provides that by default?
Look, When you want to get the router variable {system?} to be accesible you'll need to do this:
In your router:
Route::get('demo/{system}', 'MonitorController#demo');
Then you have an controller where this noods to stand in:
public function demo($system)
{
//your further system
//You are be able to access the $system variable
echo $system; //just to show the idea of it.
}
When you now go to to localhost/demo/a-system-name/, You'll see a blank page with a-system-name.
Hope this helps, because your question is abit unclear.

regular querystring in Zend framework controller

I am using Zend framework and it does URL rewriting
but I want to handle in controller just regular querysting, get request
seomthing like this transactionsExternal.phppage=1&start=0&limit=100&sort=threadid&dir=ASC&callback=Ext.data.JsonP.callback1
Can somebody tell me how to get this GET request variables in controller? considering that Zend prevents me just to use variables like $_GET[something]
$this->getRequest()->getParams(); also is not returning anything
ZF does not prevent you using $_GET, although doing so is discouraged. $this->getRequest()->getParam('start'), or $this->getRequest()->getParams() will give you the GET params. So if this isn't working for you something else is going wrong somewhere.
Is 'transactionsExternal.php' definitely part of your ZF app?
How are your controllers and actions set up?
Zend Framework 1 works with key/pair values for get parameters. So you might have a transaction controller and a get action. A request would look like so:
domain.com/transactions/get
To append and ID GET parameter you would do:
domain.com/transactions/get/id/10
Then In your controller action you would do the following to get the id value:
$request = $this->getRequest();
$request->getParam('id');

How does one access the URL arguments in codeigniter if one was to follow REST architecture?

The following is a valid REST based URL that can be used to access a resource:
Using codeigniter, how can one access the parameter of 1 that was passed below.
I saw the above in a tutorial and have set up my code. However obviously:
$id = $this->input->get('id');
does not work.
Using $this->input->get('id') would suggest you are sending ?id=1 to the end of the URL. You can use $this->uri->segment(1) but that does not allow for paired uri segments.
If you use $this->get('id') which is a special REST_Controller method then it will pick up either. I did put that in the tutorial you got this image from :)
From the URI Class.
you can use $this->uri->segment(n)
Where n is the segment number you wish to retrieve .

simple cakephp problem

I know this is a really simple thing that I really should know but I'm trying to learn cakephp without having done much php before. I've been told thats a stupid idea, but I'm doing it for fun and so I'm doing it.
I want to pass an array from one controller action to another controllers action and then pass it to the view. I have:
sponges_controller.php
$info = $this->data;
$this->redirect(array('controller'=>'baths', 'action'=>'dashboard', $info));
baths_controller.php
function dashboard($info) {
$this->set('info', $info);
}
and then
<?php echo debug($info); ?>
in the view for dashboard.
I've tried various ways but can't make it work. All it does is print out Array()
Plz help me! :) Julia
You can't pass data that way from one controller to the other as far as I know, at most you can concat a string to the action, like an ID for view or editing.
If you want to pass the info you could try setting it in the SESSION variable in the following way:
$this->Session->write('Info', $info);
And in your other controller you can check for it:
$this->Session->read('Info');
It looks like cake will not let you pass an array into a controller action. I set up a simple example and I got an 'array to string conversion error'. Is there a specific reason why you aren't just posting the data to baths/dashboard? I can think of a workaround for your problem, but it is quite messy.
8vius's solution above will definitely work.
Here is another way, but using sessions is probably a lot better
$str = http_build_query($info);
$this->redirect('/baths/dashboard?'.$str);
So then in your baths/dashboard action, you will have access to your data using the php $_GET array.
So if you originally had this->data['name'] you can access it with $_GET['name']
I'm not sure about the passing data in different controllers but within the same controller we can do it just like a function call by writing something like this.
$this->function_name($info);
This will perfectly work as intended. I've not tried this type of data passing in different controllers function.

Zend Framework - need to access a GET parameter from a view

I am using the Zend framework and what I need is to construct a url in my view. Normally in regular php code I'd just grab the GET Variable by using the global $_GET. However with Zend I'm setting it to clean URIs so :
?ac=list&filter=works&page=2
Looks like
index/ac/list/filter/works/page/2
In my view I'm setting a links cs such that if the GET variable filter equals works then the color of that link would be different and it would point to the same page only linked as so:
index/ac/list/filter/extra/page/2
And like wise I have a number of other links all which just one GET value - how do I set this up - I am using the Zend framework.
To access a request variable direct in the view you could do:
Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getParam('key');
But as others have said, this is not a good idea. It may be easier, but consider other options:
set the view variable in the controller
write a view helper that pulls the variable from the request object
If you need to access a GET parameter from a view, i think you're doing it the wrong way.
I suggest that you set up a route with all your parameters, and then use $this->url from your view to render a valid and correct url.
Fore som more info, check out the following blog post (no, i'm not the author):
http://naneau.nl/2007/07/08/use-the-url-view-helper-please/
Edit:
If you want to be 'lazy', you can set a view parameter from your controller by doing $this->view->param = $this->_getParam('param'). You can then access param from your view by doing echo $this->param;. However, i do not recommend this.
To access the Request Object one way that is common is to save it in the Registry.

http://www.zfforums.com/zend-framework-components-13/model-view-controller-mvc-21/how-access-request-object-customizing-layout-view-3349.html
You can pass it in from a controller: $this->view->page = $this->_getParam('page');.
Footnote: I agree with #alexn.
i am using Zend Framework v1.11 and i am doing like this
In Controller
$this->view->request = $this->_request;
then in View you can access any Request param like this
<h3><?= $this->request->fullname ?></h3>
