URLopts - CodeIgniter pretty URL option processing
==================================================

[](#urlopts---codeigniter-pretty-url-option-processing)

This library provies a simple way to setup nice looking URLs.

URLopts encodes various parameters into the URL string itself similar to a normal GET parameter but in a neater way.

For example the following URL shows the various components of a neatened URL:

```
http://website.com/controller/function/parameter1/value1/parameter2/value2/parameter3/value3

```

URLopts provides a library for constructing and reading back URLs such as this within a CodeIgniter controller.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Download this repo and copy into your application directory.

Alternatively, install with [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

Examples

CodeIgniter Controller
----------------------

[](#codeigniter-controller)

Here is a simple User controler which is showing a list of users.

This function allows you to pass various parameters in the URL to filter the user list.

For example the following URLs can be used

- `http://website.com/users/list` - The basic list - show everything
- `http://website.com/users/list/page/5` - Move to page 5 (e.g. if using pagination)
- `http://website.com/users/list/newsletter/yes` - Only show users who are signed up to the newsletter
- `http://website.com/users/list/role/admin` - Only show 'admin' users
- `http://website.com/users/list/recent/yes` - Only show users who have logged in recently
- `http://website.com/users/list/page/5/newsletter/yes` - A combination of only showing page 5 + users subscribed to the newsletter
- `http://website.com/users/list/role/admin/recent/yes` - Another combination showing only 'admin' users who have loggged in recently
- All of the above can be combined in any combination.

The example CodeIgniter controller would look something like this:

```

```

The above sets 'foo' to 'bar' in the URL. If the current URL was '' the above would return ''.

```

```

The above sets 'foo' to '1' in the URL. If the current URL was '' the above would return ''.

```

```

The above removes 'foo' from the URL. If the current URL was '' the above would return ''.

An alternate syntax is also available:

```

```
