PagesPathFinder class

Enables finding pages by path, optionally with URL segments, pagination numbers, language prefixes, etc.

This is built for use by the PagesRequest class and ProcessPageView module, but can also be useful from the public API. The most useful method is the get() method which returns a verbose array of information about the given path. Methods in this class should be acessed from $pages->pathFinder(), i.e.

$result = $pages->pathFinder()->get('/en/foo/bar/page3');

Note that PagesPathFinder does not perform any access control checks, so if using this class then validate access afterwards when appropriate.

“We chose ProcessWire because of its excellent architecture, modular extensibility and the internal API. The CMS offers the necessary flexibility and performance for such a complex website like superbude.de. ProcessWire offers options that are only available for larger systems, such as Drupal, and allows a much slimmer development process.” —xport communication GmbH
