<h1>URL Helper</h1>
|
|
|
59 |
|
|
|
60 |
<p>The URL Helper file contains functions that assist in working with URLs.</p>
|
|
|
61 |
|
|
|
62 |
|
|
|
63 |
<h2>Loading this Helper</h2>
|
|
|
64 |
|
|
|
65 |
<p>This helper is loaded using the following code:</p>
|
|
|
66 |
<code>$this->load->helper('url');</code>
|
|
|
67 |
|
|
|
68 |
<p>The following functions are available:</p>
|
|
|
69 |
|
|
|
70 |
<h2>site_url()</h2>
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
<p>Returns your site URL, as specified in your config file. The index.php file (or whatever you have set as your
|
|
|
73 |
site <dfn>index_page</dfn> in your config file) will be added to the URL, as will any URI segments you pass to the function.</p>
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
<p>You are encouraged to use this function any time you need to generate a local URL so that your pages become more portable
|
|
|
76 |
in the event your URL changes.</p>
|
|
|
77 |
|
|
|
78 |
<p>Segments can be optionally passed to the function as a string or an array. Here is a string example:</p>
|
|
|
79 |
|
|
|
80 |
<code>echo site_url("news/local/123");</code>
|
|
|
81 |
|
|
|
82 |
<p>The above example would return something like: http://example.com/index.php/news/local/123</p>
|
|
|
83 |
|
|
|
84 |
<p>Here is an example of segments passed as an array:</p>
|
|
|
85 |
|
|
|
86 |
<code>
|
|
|
87 |
$segments = array('news', 'local', '123');<br />
|
|
|
88 |
<br />
|
|
|
89 |
echo site_url($segments);</code>
|
|
|
90 |
|
|
|
91 |
|
|
|
92 |
<h2>base_url()</h2>
|
|
|
93 |
<p>Returns your site base URL, as specified in your config file. Example:</p>
|
|
|
94 |
<code>echo base_url();</code>
|
|
|
95 |
|
|
|
96 |
|
|
|
97 |
<h2>current_url()</h2>
|
|
|
98 |
<p>Returns the full URL (including segments) of the page being currently viewed.</p>
|
|
|
99 |
|
|
|
100 |
|
|
|
101 |
<h2>uri_string()</h2>
|
|
|
102 |
<p>Returns the URI segments of any page that contains this function. For example, if your URL was this:</p>
|
|
|
103 |
<code>http://some-site.com/blog/comments/123</code>
|
|
|
104 |
|
|
|
105 |
<p>The function would return:</p>
|
|
|
106 |
<code>blog/comments/123</code>
|
|
|
107 |
|
|
|
108 |
|
|
|
109 |
<h2>index_page()</h2>
|
|
|
110 |
<p>Returns your site "index" page, as specified in your config file. Example:</p>
|
|
|
111 |
<code>echo index_page();</code>
|
|
|
112 |
|
|
|
113 |
|
|
|
114 |
|
|
|
115 |
<h2>anchor()</h2>
|
|
|
116 |
|
|
|
117 |
<p>Creates a standard HTML anchor link based on your local site URL:</p>
|
|
|
118 |
|
|
|
119 |
<code><a href="http://example.com">Click Here</a></code>
|
|
|
120 |
|
|
|
121 |
<p>The tag has three optional parameters:</p>
|
|
|
122 |
|
|
|
123 |
<code>anchor(<var>uri segments</var>, <var>text</var>, <var>attributes</var>)</code>
|
|
|
124 |
|
|
|
125 |
<p>The first parameter can contain any segments you wish appended to the URL. As with the <dfn>site_url()</dfn> function above,
|
|
|
126 |
segments can be a string or an array.</p>
|
|
|
127 |
|
|
|
128 |
<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you are building links that are internal to your application do not include the base URL (http://...). This
|
|
|
129 |
will be added automatically from the information specified in your config file. Include only the URI segments you wish appended to the URL.</p>
|
|
|
130 |
|
|
|
131 |
<p>The second segment is the text you would like the link to say. If you leave it blank, the URL will be used.</p>
|
|
|
132 |
|
|
|
133 |
<p>The third parameter can contain a list of attributes you would like added to the link. The attributes can be a simple string or an associative array.</p>
|
|
|
134 |
|
|
|
135 |
<p>Here are some examples:</p>
|
|
|
136 |
|
|
|
137 |
<code>echo anchor('news/local/123', 'My News');</code>
|
|
|
138 |
|
|
|
139 |
<p>Would produce: <a href="http://example.com/index.php/news/local/123" title="My News">My News</a></p>
|
|
|
140 |
|
|
|
141 |
<code>echo anchor('news/local/123', 'My News', array('title' => 'The best news!'));</code>
|
|
|
142 |
|
|
|
143 |
<p>Would produce: <a href="http://example.com/index.php/news/local/123" title="The best news!">My News</a></p>
|
|
|
144 |
|
|
|
145 |
|
|
|
146 |
<h2>anchor_popup()</h2>
|
|
|
147 |
|
|
|
148 |
<p>Nearly identical to the <dfn>anchor()</dfn> function except that it opens the URL in a new window.
|
|
|
149 |
|
|
|
150 |
You can specify JavaScript window attributes in the third parameter to control how the window is opened. If
|
|
|
151 |
the third parameter is not set it will simply open a new window with your own browser settings. Here is an example
|
|
|
152 |
with attributes:</p>
|
|
|
153 |
|
|
|
154 |
<code>
|
|
|
155 |
|
|
|
156 |
$atts = array(<br />
|
|
|
157 |
'width' => '800',<br />
|
|
|
158 |
'height' => '600',<br />
|
|
|
159 |
'scrollbars' => 'yes',<br />
|
|
|
160 |
'status' => 'yes',<br />
|
|
|
161 |
'resizable' => 'yes',<br />
|
|
|
162 |
'screenx' => '0',<br />
|
|
|
163 |
'screeny' => '0'<br />
|
|
|
164 |
);<br />
|
|
|
165 |
<br />
|
|
|
166 |
echo anchor_popup('news/local/123', 'Click Me!', $atts);</code>
|
|
|
167 |
|
|
|
168 |
<p>Note: The above attributes are the function defaults so you only need to set the ones that are different from what you need.
|
|
|
169 |
If you want the function to use all of its defaults simply pass an empty array in the third parameter:</p>
|
|
|
170 |
|
|
|
171 |
<code>echo anchor_popup('news/local/123', 'Click Me!', array());</code>
|
|
|
172 |
|
|
|
173 |
|
|
|
174 |
<h2>mailto()</h2>
|
|
|
175 |
|
|
|
176 |
<p>Creates a standard HTML email link. Usage example:</p>
|
|
|
177 |
|
|
|
178 |
<code>echo mailto('me@my-site.com', 'Click Here to Contact Me');</code>
|
|
|
179 |
|
|
|
180 |
<p>As with the <dfn>anchor()</dfn> tab above, you can set attributes using the third parameter.</p>
|
|
|
181 |
|
|
|
182 |
|
|
|
183 |
<h2>safe_mailto()</h2>
|
|
|
184 |
|
|
|
185 |
<p>Identical to the above function except it writes an obfuscated version of the mailto tag using ordinal numbers
|
|
|
186 |
written with JavaScript to help prevent the email address from being harvested by spam bots.</p>
|
|
|
187 |
|
|
|
188 |
|
|
|
189 |
<h2>auto_link()</h2>
|
|
|
190 |
|
|
|
191 |
<p>Automatically turns URLs and email addresses contained in a string into links. Example:</p>
|
|
|
192 |
|
|
|
193 |
<code>$string = auto_link($string);</code>
|
|
|
194 |
|
|
|
195 |
<p>The second parameter determines whether URLs and emails are converted or just one or the other. Default behavior is both
|
|
|
196 |
if the parameter is not specified. Email links are encoded as safe_mailto() as shown above.</p>
|
|
|
197 |
|
|
|
198 |
<p>Converts only URLs:</p>
|
|
|
199 |
<code>$string = auto_link($string, 'url');</code>
|
|
|
200 |
|
|
|
201 |
<p>Converts only Email addresses:</p>
|
|
|
202 |
<code>$string = auto_link($string, 'email');</code>
|
|
|
203 |
|
|
|
204 |
<p>The third parameter determines whether links are shown in a new window. The value can be TRUE or FALSE (boolean):</p>
|
|
|
205 |
<code>$string = auto_link($string, 'both', TRUE);</code>
|
|
|
206 |
|
|
|
207 |
|
|
|
208 |
<h2>url_title()</h2>
|
|
|
209 |
<p>Takes a string as input and creates a human-friendly URL string. This is useful if, for example, you have a blog
|
|
|
210 |
in which you'd like to use the title of your entries in the URL. Example:</p>
|
|
|
211 |
|
|
|
212 |
<code>$title = "What's wrong with CSS?";<br />
|
|
|
213 |
<br />
|
|
|
214 |
$url_title = url_title($title);<br />
|
|
|
215 |
<br />
|
|
|
216 |
// Produces: whats-wrong-with-css
|
|
|
217 |
</code>
|
|
|
218 |
|
|
|
219 |
|
|
|
220 |
<p>The second parameter determines the word delimiter. By default dashes are used. Options are: <dfn>dash</dfn>, or <dfn>underscore</dfn>:</p>
|
|
|
221 |
|
|
|
222 |
<code>$title = "What's wrong with CSS?";<br />
|
|
|
223 |
<br />
|
|
|
224 |
$url_title = url_title($title, 'underscore');<br />
|
|
|
225 |
<br />
|
|
|
226 |
// Produces: Whats_wrong_with_CSS
|
|
|
227 |
</code>
|
|
|
228 |
|
|
|
229 |
<p>The third parameter determines whether or not lowercase characters are forced. By default they are not. Options are boolean <dfn>TRUE</dfn>/<dfn>FALSE</dfn>:</p>
|
|
|
230 |
|
|
|
231 |
<code>$title = "What's wrong with CSS?";<br />
|
|
|
232 |
<br />
|
|
|
233 |
$url_title = url_title($title, 'underscore', TRUE);<br />
|
|
|
234 |
<br />
|
|
|
235 |
// Produces: whats_wrong_with_css
|
|
|
236 |
</code>
|
|
|
237 |
|
|
|
238 |
<h3>prep_url()</h3>
|
|
|
239 |
<p>This function will add <kbd>http://</kbd> in the event it is missing from a URL. Pass the URL string to the function like this:</p>
|
|
|
240 |
<code>
|
|
|
241 |
$url = "example.com";<br /><br />
|
|
|
242 |
$url = prep_url($url);</code>
|
|
|
243 |
|
|
|
244 |
|
|
|
245 |
|
|
|
246 |
|
|
|
247 |
<h2>redirect()</h2>
|
|
|
248 |
|
|
|
249 |
<p>Does a "header redirect" to the local URI specified. Just like other functions in this helper, this one is designed
|
|
|
250 |
to redirect to a local URL within your site. You will <strong>not</strong> specify the full site URL, but rather simply the URI segments
|
|
|
251 |
to the controller you want to direct to. The function will build the URL based on your config file values.</p>
|
|
|
252 |
|
|
|
253 |
<p>The optional second parameter allows you to choose between the "location"
|
|
|
254 |
method (default) or the "refresh" method. Location is faster, but on Windows servers it can sometimes be a problem. The optional third parameter allows you to send a specific HTTP Response Code - this could be used for example to create 301 redirects for search engine purposes. The default Response Code is 302. The third parameter is <em>only</em> available with 'location' redirects, and not 'refresh'. Examples:</p>
|
|
|
255 |
|
|
|
256 |
<code>if ($logged_in == FALSE)<br />
|
|
|
257 |
{<br />
|
|
|
258 |
redirect('/login/form/', 'refresh');<br />
|
|
|
259 |
}<br />
|
|
|
260 |
<br />
|
|
|
261 |
// with 301 redirect<br />
|
|
|
262 |
redirect('/article/13', 'location', 301);</code>
|
|
|
263 |
|
|
|
264 |
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> In order for this function to work it must be used before anything is outputted
|
|
|
265 |
to the browser since it utilizes server headers.<br />
|
|
|
266 |
<strong>Note:</strong> For very fine grained control over headers, you should use the <a href="../libraries/output.html">Output Library</a>'s set_header() function.</p>
