How to get current controller or method name in Codeigniter ?

We will learn how to get current controller or method name in Codeigniter?

In this example we will use two method of $this->router variable for getting controller name and method name as listed bellow:

fetch_class()

fetch_method()

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');


class Welcome extends CI_Controller {


	/**
	 * Index Page for this controller.
	 *
	 * Maps to the following URL
	 * 		http://example.com/index.php/welcome
	 *	- or -
	 * 		http://example.com/index.php/welcome/index
	 *	- or -
	 * Since this controller is set as the default controller in
	 * config/routes.php, it's displayed at http://example.com/
	 *
	 * So any other public methods not prefixed with an underscore will
	 * map to /index.php/welcome/

	 * @see https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/urls.html
	 */
	public function index()
	{
		$controller = $this->router->fetch_class();
		$method = $this->router->fetch_method();
		print_r($controller);
		print_r($method);
		exit;
	}
}
