Codeigniter - How do I rewrite url’s with url parameters - El Forum - 11-13-2009

Hi,
I need to turn URL's like /item/2 into cleaner URL's like /item/product-name-here. I'm using codeigniter. I setup rewriting in the routes.php file like this:
$route['item/(:any)'] = 'item/$1';
My question is: where do I replace the product ID "/2" with "/product-name-here"? I can successfully get the param $1 and fetch the product name, but I can't figure out how to rewrite the URL with this dynamic value.
Thank you very much!

That is not possible. You should store product-name-here in the database then use that to fetch the data instead of requiring an ID.
