Routing issue - again! - El Forum - 06-20-2009 [eluser]jdav3579[/eluser] I am fairly new to code igniter and cant seem to get my head around the uri routing thing. I have read numerous threads here but still can't seem to apply it to my own problem. I think it should be straight forward to do, but just dont get it. I have the following routing: $route['page/index/CONTACT-US/:any'] = "page/contact"; so if the url is blah/page/index/CONTACT-US everything gets sent to this page/contact but I also want to be be able to pass in parameters. The contact function its like this function contact($msg=null){} I just want to pass the paramters into the function so for example: blah/page/index/CONTACT-US/thanks then the function would get "thanks" in the msg variable. Any help kindly appreciated!!

It was just the user guide does not put the brackets on! but when I did put them on it worked! Thanks very much!!!

And I quote...

I think now I see where I was going wrong! I was looking at this one: $route['product/:any'] = "catalog/product_lookup"; Cheers! :-) Routing issue - again! - El Forum - 06-20-2009 [eluser]Dam1an[/eluser] It's ok, I'm sure you'll remember to read the whole page next time you get stuck |
