Codeigniter Routing Unlimited Paramaters

Question

I currently have this in my CodeIgniter routes file. It maps anything with a URI api/controller/function to controller/api_function.

Answer 1

Try this:

$route['api/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/(.*)'] = '$1/api_$2/$3';

It basically checks for two segments (any character but a slash), then anything after that gets appended as parameters to your controller function.

This wouldn't match for routes with NO parameters, but it's not hard to do if that's a case you need to handle.
