php - Use hyphen(-) instead of slash(/) or underscore( _ ) in Routes
895
I'm Using Codeigniter 3.x , Using routes.php I want to create dynamic routes, for example I have a class nameClass1.
I want output url
mysite.com/Class1-Student-Search
But using hyphen(-) is not working
If I put a slash(/), it works,
$route['(:any)/Student-Search'] = "search";
it returns
mysite.com/Class1/Student-Search
and using underscore (_) also work.
$route['(:any)_Student-Search'] = "search";
returns
mysite.com/Class1_Student-Search
But I want to use hyphen(-), if I put it, it will go to 404 error page, I used these four solutions but not work for me.
$route['(:any)-Student-Search'] = "search";
$route['([a-zA-Z]+)-Student-Search'] = "search";
$route['([a-zA-Z-0-9]+)-Student-Search'] = "search";
$route['(.*)-Student-Search'] = "search";
And if i hardcode the value in route
$route['Class1-Student-Search'] = "search";
Then it also working

Every request first goes to route there for you can't make it dynamic

Solution:
Here is my solution, it is working for me, do like this.
then in your link button, hopefully in your view, href the link like this.
the point is that not only you have to make your routes, also suffix it in your href link also the same way.
