CodeIgniter - Get Last URI Segment

Question

I'm trying to get the last URI segment in CI, however I don't know what the number for it will be, as parameters (an integer) will be appended as the user clicks links within the page. These are then used in a controller to pull relevant database records into the page via ajax.

How can I tell CI to get the last segment?

Something like:

$record_num = $this->uri->segment($last);

Thanks for the replies, both answers are good. I've gone Anpher's as it's a bit more concise. – Profess

Answer 1

$record_num = end($this->uri->segment_array());

Gulp

hi! i used this code but when the segment is not found then it's throw error please help. i write in if condition with empty but not work. – Indisputable

always declare your parameter like public function name($parameter = " ") – Picayune

Only variables should be passed by reference. Use Mischa answer instead. – Replica

Answer 2

This should work:

$last = $this->uri->total_segments();
$record_num = $this->uri->segment($last);

+1 I like this method better, since it uses codeigniter's functionality. It just seems like the right thing to do. – Lowther

I agree, like this one better. You can save yourself a line too: $record_num = $this->uri->segment($this->uri->total_segments()); – Beshore

Answer 3

I needed this in 2021 and here's how I got to it

$record_num = end($this->uri->segments)

Ty to Anpher that got me in the right track

Answer 4

Try this :

$last_segment = $this->uri->segment($this->uri->total_segments());
echo $last_segment;

Above code is for English language, for UTF8 such as Arabic, Persian, etc use :

$last_segment = $this->uri->segment($this->uri->total_segments());
echo urldecode($last_segment);

Answer 5

This worked for me with CodeIgniter 4.

// Instantiate CI request
$request = \Config\Services::request();

// Get full segment url after domain
$url = $request->getPath();

// search for slash in segment url
$pos = strrpos($url, '/');

// ternary if slash found return last segment including last slash
$last_seg = $pos === false ? $url : substr($url, $pos + 0);

It may works, but i'm sure there are more simple solutions. – Growth
