Pattern matching method and parameters in url

[Kendall Arneaud]

I'm trying to create a pattern matching scenario where you match  a url such as

'/events/display/9382817/featured/' => 'events'

to the event method and parameter match

Array (

['method'] => 'display',

['parameter'] => Array([0] => 9382817, [1]=> 'featured');

I have this partial expression 

^/(?P<method>.*?)/(?P<parameter>.*?)

 But it doesn't quite work. I am not good at regex

I believe with this pattern we can then alter line

if (class_exists($class)) {

                        $obj = new $class;

                        if (method_exists($obj, $method)) {

                            $obj->$method($matches);

                        } else {

to something like

if (class_exists($class)) {

                        $obj = new $class;

                            $method = $matches['method'] || $method;

                            $params = $matches['parameter'] || null

                        if (method_exists($obj, $method)) {

                            $obj->$method($params);

                        } else {

 

We can probably link url to class method logic

Please help/ advise

Hi Kendall,

It's possible your .*'s in your regex are being too greedy. How about replacing them with \w (for a single word) and \d (for a digit)?

/events/(?P<method>.*?)/(?P<parameter>.*)

I tried but I am using the above as the solution then explode() <parameter> 

was worth a shot
