using the 1st segment of the url - El Forum - 03-11-2010

we all know that the 1st segment of the URL is the controller name like "http://domain.com/controller/method/params"...
how can i make the 1st segment in the URL be a data of the controller?
i.e.
http://domain.com/foo
and in the controller
Code:
function index($bar=NULL) {
if ($bar) {
echo $bar; // display 'foo'
} else {
echo 'blah';
}

you could either set the default controller or set up a custom route. both are explained very well in the documentation.
