CodeIgniter -> Get current URL relative to base url

Tried URI::uri_string() but can\'t get it to work with the base_url.

URL: http://localhost/dropbox/derrek/shopredux/ahahaha/hihihi
Returns: dr

Answer 1

In CI v3, you can try:

function partial_uri($start = 0) {
    return join('/',array_slice(get_instance()->uri->segment_array(), $start));
}

This will drop the number of URL segments specified by the $start argument. If your URL is http://localhost/dropbox/derrek/shopredux/ahahaha/hihihi, then:

partial_uri(3);  # returns "ahahaha/hihihi"
