Hi, so I'm a newbie at PHP and CI, please bare with me.
It's it possible to have the following URL:
Code:
index.php/support/ticket/reply/758593(758593 been the ticket ID)
or is it only possible to have 3 segments
Code:
index.php/ticket/reply/758593Time for URL's YAY! - El Forum - 04-24-2009

You can have any number of segments

Depending on what you want to do you can have as many segments as you want.
If you want to customize the URI segments differently to the standard /controller/method/var1/var2.. you'll need to define URI routing routes in config/routes.php
Assuming you have a controller called ticket, with a method called reply, that takes a variable (the id) you can add this to your URI routing file
Code:
$route['support/ticket/reply/:num'] = 'ticket/reply/$1';:num means it will accept only numbers. If you tried to access site.com/index.php/support/ticket/reply/random_string CI would return an error or a 404 not found.
Read up on CI URI routing to get more familiar with replacements etc.

Making a guess here it looks like using a controller sub-directory might be what you are looking for.
Or possibly search for Matchbox for a more modular approach. Using Matchbox you could group all support controllers, models and views into one folder, instead of them all being split across your application.
Routes are a good option too.
