I am new to codeigniter, i am trying to form a url that passes a value to another controller function.

this is the code for generating the link

Code:
<a >Precinct_ID);?&gt;">

i want it to generate a link that follows this nomenclature

http://<serveraddress>/index.php/<mycontroller>/<myfunction>/<value to be passed>
instead it is generating a url like this

Code:
http://localhost/list_voters/7

Welcome to the CodeIgniter Community!

I think your code for generating the link is broken... :/

site_url() should be what you're looking for. You can find it in the [url="http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/helpers/url_helper.html"]URL helper[/url].

what i do not get is that i did the same thing on another page and it worked fine

and somehow seemingly at random it is getting the current function included in the url.

It shouldn't mess it up. If it does, then there's probably something wrong with the code your posting. The forum replaces < with &lt; and > with &gt;. You might need to do this manually.

its truncating my code big time

basicly i am doing a href= set_precienct/echo ($row->County_Code)

and that works fine in the first page it creates the link properly

but when i do the same thing on the next page

except instead of set_precienct/County_Code i use list_voters/Precienct_ID

and i get set_precienct thrown into my url

Either make your URL absolute, or append a forwards slash to the URL.

Code:
<a href="&lt;?php echo site_url('list_voters/' . $precinct_id); ?&gt;">URL</a>

// OR

<a href="/list_voters/&lt;?php echo $precinct_id; ?&gt;">URL</a>

// Note the leading forward slash.

first way gives me http://192.168.1.20/index.php/Houdini/set_precienct/192.168.1.20/index.php/list_voters/10

and the second gives me

http://192.168.1.20/list_voters/10

What's your base_url set to in your config file?

Please post your controller and view. If you put them between [code][/code] tags, it should display properly.
