How to remove controller name from url making it clean in codeigniter

Question

I have the following url..

http://localhost/ci/site_controller/home

I want to remove site_controller controller

Answer 1

In the case that your .htaccess file is set up like this (or similar), so index.php is already removed...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|application|assets|images|js|css|uploads|favicon.png)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

And your codeigniter code lies directly in the html folder...

To remove the controller name from URL, edit application/config/routes.php Add lines like these:

$route['signin'] = 'web/signin';

The line above calls function signin() of controller Web when user requests yoursebsite.com/signin

To pass variables into said function, do the following:

$route['p/(:any)'] = 'web/p/$1';

This line calls function p() in controller Web, which has a parameter. Function p() was defined as:

public function p($param = "none") {
    echo $param;
}

I hope this helps :)

try using the routes file to re-map url's

Answer 3

This helped for me. In "routes.php" I added this:

$route['(:any)'] = "default_controller/$1";

Answer 4

You can set your a route for each url:

In your config/routes.php file, just set each page like this:

$route['ci/home'] = "ci/site_controller/home";

Answer 5

This might help you to define a Default Controller for your CodeIgniter project.

https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/controllers.html#defining-a-default-controller

For instance, in your case, open your application/config/routes.php file and set this variable:

$route['default_controller'] = 'site_controller';

Answer 6

It's so simple if you want to remove the controller name from URL in the Codeigniter 3.x in my case URL was: http://localhost:8080/index.php/page/sometext Where "Page" is the controller name open application/config/routs.php

$urlParam = $this->uri->segment_array()[1];
$rout[$urlParam] = "page/index";

Result: http://localhost:8080/index.php/sometext

I assure you, it will work. tested 100%.
