Something like this would probably work
/config/routes.php
Code:
$route['products/(:any)' = 'products/view/$1';/controllers/products.php
Code:
class Products extends CI_Controller {
function view($product_name = '') //$product_name will be whatever $1 was in the route
{
if (empty($product_name))
{
//no product passed, must have just gone to "yoursite.com/products"
}
else
{
$product_id = $this->your_model->get_product_by_name($product_name);
//now you should have your ID and can do what you need.
}
}

Code:
$route['products/(:any)' = 'products/view/$1';
$route['products'] = 'products/view_all'; //If there was no product passed, it will call this "view_all" method where you can list all productsRoutes with the most segments need to come before those with fewer, like above. First route has 2 segments, "products/some-product" and the 2nd one only has 1, "products". So it should go in that order or the routing won't work properly.
