How to replace underscores in codeigniter url with dashes?

Question

I would like to know the simplest solution to changing the underscores of my codeigniter urls to dashes, for seo reasons.

My controllers look like:

publi         


        

Answer 1

Open application/config/routes.php and change

$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = TRUE;

That is it you need to do.

Now when you access www.domain.com/request-guide, it will instantiate request_guide controller.

It will work with all controllers with name containing _ (underscore).
