I know i can get all segments from url like this
Lets say i have this example link
www.example.com/de/products.html
Using url_helper like this:
$data['url'] = $this->uri->uri_string();
I will get value like this
de/products
But i dont need first segment de, only products, the problem is that i dont know how many segments it will be, i only need to remove the first
Is there possible to forget first segment with url helper in CI?
Try like this...
Use the php's explode() function to make the url string as array.Then apply array's array_shift() function which always removes the first element from array.
Code is looks like as below
$data= $this->uri->uri_string();
$arr=explode('/', $data);
array_shift($arr);
//print_r($arr);
Then use the php's implode() method to get the URI without first segment.Hope it will works...
$uri=implode('/',$arr);
echo $uri;
example:
<?php
$data=$this->uri->segment(2);
$val=explode('.', $data);
echo $val[0];
?>
There is no URL helper in the CI to forget the first segment. However you can easily make a custom one and put @Hikmat's answer below it in the application/helpers/MY_url_helper.php in the Core folder.
e.g.
function my_forget_first_segment() {
$data= $this->uri->uri_string();
$arr=explode('/', $data);
array_shift($arr);
$uri=implode('/',$arr);
return $uri;
}
Before Edit answer.
You need to try this
$second_segment = $this->uri->segment(2);
From Codeigniter documentation -
$this->uri->segment(n);
Permits you to retrieve a specific segment. Where n is the segment number you wish to retrieve. Segments are numbered from left to right. For example, if your full URL is this:
http://example.com/index.php/news/local/metro/crime_is_up
The segment numbers would be this:
1. news
2. local
3. metro
4. crime_is_up
The optional second parameter defaults to NULL and allows you to set the return value of this method when the requested URI segment is missing. For example, this would tell the method to return the number zero in the event of failure:
$product_id = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);
