Passing URL in Codeigniter URL segment
Question by vivek
I want to pass a url like http://example.com/test?a=1&b=2 in url segment of codeigniter.
I’m trying to pass something like this http://myurl.com/abc/http://example.com/test?a=1&b=2 and get the “http://example.com/test?a=1&b=2” url. What should be the best way to do this?

Set your URI protocol to REQUEST_URI in application/config/config.php , like this:
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
then use GET method:
$this->input->get('a');
EDIT:
Since http://example.com/test?a=1&b=2 is not encoded URL, it isn’t possible. So first, I would encode URL with urlencode function like this:
urlencode('http://example.com/test?a=1&b=2');
it returns something like: http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Ftest%3Fa%3D1%26b%3D2
So I would pass the URL like this:
http://myurl.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Ftest%3Fa%3D1%26b%3D2
then get an example URL with GET method.
$this->input->get('url');

Use this technique to get the URL
$url = "http://example.com/test?a=1&b=2";
$segments = array($controller, $action, $url);
echo site_url($segments);
// or create a anchor link
echo anchor($segments, "click me");
