ID and $this->uri->segment(n) returning nothing

[eluser]Herb[/eluser]
Ok, there seems to be some code missing in order to give you an answer to your problem.

Where is the detail method being called? Should be something like...

Code:

$some_variable = $this->uri->segment(3);
$data = detail($some_variable);

Otherwise, how does segment(3) get assigned to $id?

Or you might what to do it this way if you are calling it detail through the url:

Code:

http://yourwebsite.com/events/detail/1

class Events extends Controller {
    function Events()
        {
        ...
        }

    function detail()
    {
        $id = $this->uri->segment(3);
        echo $id;
        echo $this->uri->segment(3);
    }
