Default parameters for controller functions - El Forum - 01-19-2010

Can I give a default parameter for controller functions and then override with a uri?
Consider the following code.
Code:
Class My_controller extends Controller{
function my_function($var = 0)
{
if ($var == 0)
{
//do stuff
}
else
{
//do other stuff
}
}
}If I call the function without giving it a parameter the first part of the if statement works as intended. However, if I try to go to:
http://mysite.com/index.php/my_controller/my_function/213
I would expect the 213 to override the default of 0 and the else should run. When I try this the first part of the if statement still runs.
Am I thinking about this wrong?

Works for me:
Code:
class test extends Controller {
public function my_function($var = 0)
{
echo "\$var is " . $var;
}
}/test/my_function
Quote:$var is 0
/test/my_function/213
Quote:$var is 213

It does work. Thank you for testing it and your time. I misspelled one letter and one of my functions was not returning the right data. I feel ashamed. :roll:
Thanks again for testing it out.
