I'm essentially trying to duplicate what happens when you use [] in a url, something like: page.php?type[]=1&type[]=2, etc.
Right now, I have this:
$routes->add("/read/(([0-9],?)+)", array(
'controller' => 'read',
'action' => 'index',
'type' => 1
));Then I can explode the types on the ',', but that just seems clunky to me. Is there a better way to do this? I want users to be able to bookmark searches.
Why don't you use just same as ?type[]=1&type[]=2 ? Then it is not related with routing.
You can get them like below in controllers.
$this->request->getQuery('type')Yeah -- I suppose that would work -- just seems so inelegant when compared to the nice urls the rest of the app has :)

Well page.php?type[]=1&type[]=2 is sending query strings after the ? and you are using variables that are arrays at that point
brackets in a URL otherwise is non standard, ie page/type[]/type[] will break
if you are sending multiple types as "pretty url" you would send /page/1 AND/OR /page/1/2/3/4 and have to create a matching number
$routes->add("/page/([0-9]+)", array(
'controller' => 'page',
'action' => 'index',
'type1' => 1
));
$routes->add("/page/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+))/([0-9]+))/([0-9]+))", array(
'controller' => 'page',
'action' => 'index',
'type1' => 1,
'type2' => 2,
'type3' => 3,
'type4' => 4
));
