Routing question

[eluser]Volder[/eluser]
hello

I am facing the following problem:

I have controller called 'Main', there I have a function 'test':

Code:

function test()
       {
         print_r($this->uri->segments);
         echo "<br />";
         print_r($this->uri->rsegments);
         echo "<br />";
         echo "hello, Wolrd";
       }

in the routes config I have:

Code:

$route['test(/.*|$)'] = 'main/test$1';
$route['(.*)/page([0-9]+)$'] = '$1/page/$2';

what I want to achieve is when I input:

Code:

mysite_url/test/page3

I would be rerouted to

Code:

mysite_url/main/test/page/3

but I am sent to

Code:

mysite_url/main/test/page3

that means the second routing instruction is not triggering for me.

in the user_guide I read that:

Note: Routes will run in the order they are defined. Higher routes will always take precedence over lower ones.

and I understand this in the way that my first instruction will transform:

Code:

mysite_url/test/page3 => mysite_url/main/test/page3

and second:

Code:

mysite_url/main/test/page3 => mysite_url/main/test/page/3

but seems it doesn't.

can anyone help one this?

not quite sure, but i guess that routing is order dependent. only one routing is done per each request. try to move the second route to the first place.

Yes, only one router is executed (in the higher position):
$route['test(/.*|$)'] = 'main/test$1';
to
mysite_url/main/test/page3

does it mean - that two routing rules could never be applied both during one request?
and if I want to make both transformations - I need to put it inside one rule?

[eluser]bitist[/eluser]
Two (or more) routes never will be applied for one request.
Yes, you should put inside one rule.
