help on uri routing and regular expression [solved] - El Forum - 05-10-2011
[eluser]daydreamer[/eluser]
I have these routes:
Code:
$route['product/.*id([0-9]+$)/status']='product/index/status/$1';
$route['product/.*id([0-9]+$)']='product/index/details/$1';
$route['product/(:any)']='anothercontroller/index';I cannot get the first route to work.
The second route worked for uri:
"/product/product_name id234"
The first route doesn't work and fall to third route:
"/product/product_name id234/status"
Please give some hints. Thanks.

Removed the "$" in the route work, but don't understand why. It's hard to play with regular expression :long:

'$' means the end of the string in regex which is why the first route fails.
http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html:
Quote:Matches at the end of the string the regex pattern is applied to. Matches a position rather than a character. Most regex flavors have an option to make the dollar match before line breaks (i.e. at the end of a line in a file) as well. Also matches before the very last line break if the string ends with a line break.

Thanks, I thought CI process it per segment so I put the $.
