Methods Details

parseURI()

This method is invoked by the framework starter to initiate the internal properties. Do not call it in your application.

    public static function parseURI()

validateURI()

This method performs the prevalidation to the current controller.

It count the number of segments and validate against the uri configuration.

    public static function validateURI()

getControllerClass()

This method return the name of the controller class.

    public static function getControllerClass()

Sample:

    $controllerName = Springy\URI::getControllerClass();

getURIString()

Return the current URI string.

    public static function getURIString()

Sample:

    $uri = Springy\URI::getURIString();

currentPage()

Return the content of the segment which represent the current page.

    public static function currentPage()

Sample:

    $page = Springy\URI::currentPage();

relativePathPage()

Return the content of the segment which represent the current page.

    public static function relativePathPage($consider_controller_root = false)

Sample:

    $path = Springy\URI::relativePathPage();

currentPageURI()

Return a string with the path URL the current page (without the protocol).

    public static function currentPageURI()

Sample:

    $uri = Springy\URI::currentPageURI();

setCurrentPage()

Define the segment of the current page.

    public static function setCurrentPage($segment_num)

The $segment_num parameter is an integer with the number of the segment to fix as current page.

Returns true if exists a $segment_num relative to the current page in the array of segments or false if does not exists.

Sample:

    $wasSet = Springy\URI::setCurrentPage(1);

getSegment()

Get any segment of the URI.

    public static function getSegment($segment_num, $relative_to_page = true, $consider_controller_root = false)

The $segment_num parameter is an integer with the number of the segment desired.

The $relative_to_page parameter is a boolean value to determine if the desired segment is relative to the current page (default) or the begin of the array of segments.

The $consider_controller_root parameter is a boolean value to determine if the number of segments of the root path of contollers must be decremented (true) or not (false = default).

Returns the value of the segment or false if it does not exists.

Sample:

    $segment = Springy\URI::getSegment(0);

getIgnoredSegment()

Get any ignored segment of the URI.

    public static function getIgnoredSegment($segment_num)

The $segment_num parameter is an integer with the number of the segment desired.

Returns the value of the segment or false if it does not exists.

Sample:

    $segment = Springy\URI::getIgnoredSegment(0);

getAllSegments()

Return the array of segments.

    public static function getAllSegments()

Sample:

    $segments = Springy\URI::getAllSegments();

getAllIgnoredSegments()

Return the array of ignored segments.

    public static function getAllIgnoredSegments()

Sample:

    $ignoredSegments = Springy\URI::getAllIgnoredSegments();

addSegment()

Add a segment to the end of segments array.

    public static function addSegment($segment)

The $segment parameter is an string with segment to be added to the end of the array of segments.

Sample:

    Springy\URI::addSegment('test');

insertSegment()

Insert a segment in any position of the segments array.

    public static function insertSegment($position, $segment)

The $position parameter is an integer with the position where the segment must be inserted.

The $segment parameter is an string with segment to be inserted.

Sample:

    Springy\URI::insertSegment(0, 'test');

_GET()

Return the value of a query string variable.

    public static function _GET($var)

The $var parameter is the name of the query string variable desired.

Returns the value of the variable or false if it does not exists.
