CodeIgniter turn off automatic routing?

Is it possible to turn off the automatic routing in CodeIgniter and have it only process requests if a route for that request exists? Thanks.

Since CodeIgniter v4.2.0, the auto-routing is disabled by default.

You can disable the automatic matching, and restrict routes to only those defined by you, by setting the $autoRoute property to false:

<?php

// In app/Config/Routing.php
class Routing extends BaseRouting
{
    // ...
    public bool $autoRoute = false;
    // ...
}

// This can be overridden in the Routes file
$routes->setAutoRoute(false);

More info on the CI docs: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/incoming/routing.html?highlight=autorouting#use-defined-routes-only

Codeigniter 4 solution:
app/config/Routes.php at line 24 set value true to false

$routes->setAutoRoute(false);

Keep in mind that Dale's solution:

$route['(:any)'] = "some/default/controller/$1";

only works for one-segment URLs, like:

example.com/foo

but not for:

example.com/foo/bar

You can get around this by using a regular expression instead of the CI wildcard. And by routing to a non-existing class drops a show_404() indeed:

$route['(.*)'] = "none";

Well, another solution could be extends the Router.

  1. Create a class name MY_Route at /application/core/MY_Router declared as class MY_Router extends CI_Router.

  2. You could override the method _set_routing():

    This function determines what should be served based on the URI request, as well as any "routes" that have been set in the routing config file.

It should be more complex, but at least can guide you to another solution.

AFAIK you can't turn off CI's automatic routing, but there is a work around:

// you specific routes
$route['admin/(:any)'] = "admin/$1";
$route['search/(:any)'] = "search/$1";
// the catch all route
$route['(:any)'] = "some/default/controller/$1";

Which doesn't actually turn off CI's routing but routes all unmatched uri's to the default controller.

Alternatively you could route to a non-existent controller which I believe will throw the in built 404 error

No, it's not possible turn off the automatic routing convention in CodeIgniter as far as I know, but you can put entries in your .htaccess file to redirect de default routes to the routes you've created.
