Always show 404 with incorrect parameters? - El Forum - 07-31-2012

*** Edit: I already asked this last year. Figures. I can't see how to delete this. ***
If someone enters an incorrect controller name, my site properly shows my custom 404 page. However, only one of my controller's methods accepts a parameter. I would expect CodeIgniter to also generate a 404 if an unsupported number of parameters are passed to a method. For example, if the function is defined as:
Code:
public function something()… then it seems any number of parameters can be passed via URL, even if it's not supported by the function. If I try:
Code:
http://site.com/controller/something/1/2/3/4/5/5… it does not generate an error, the function is still called and the page loads. I don't want my visitors to think that's valid. If I try:
Code:
public do something(void)… then I just get a white page no matter how many parameters are passed.
Like I said before, this particular controller has many functions, and only one that accepts a single optional parameter. Is there a way (via routs or something) to automatically handle validation of parameters?
Thanks.
