How to get an array of all controllers in a Codeigniter project?

Question

I\'d like to obtain a list of all controllers in a Codeiginiter project so I can easily loop through each of them and add defined routes. I can\'t seem to find a method tha

Answer 1

Well to directly answer to coding question, you can do this:

foreach(glob(APPPATH . 'controllers/*' . EXT) as $controller)
{
    $controller = basename($controller, EXT);

    $route[$controller] = $controller . '/index';
    $route[$controller . '/(.+)'] = $controller . '/$1';
}

Buuuuuut this may not work out to be the most flexible method further down the line.

There are a few other ways to do it. One is to create a MY_Router and insert

$this->set_class('pages'); 
$this->set_method($segments[0]);

before/instead of show_404();

That will send /contact to /pages/contact, but only if no controllers, methods, routes are mapped to first.

OOOOOOORRRRRR use Modular Separation and add the following to your main routes.php

$routes['404'] = 'pages';
