Following news section tutorial - 404 Page Not Found - PamelaK - 06-07-2015
Hi
I am new to php and have just recently downloaded CodeIgniter and am following the tutorial for the news section. The problem I am encountering is with the following code from the news overview page index.php here application/views/news/index.php.
Code:
<p>
<a href="<?php echo $news_item['slug'] ?>">View article</a>
</p>It get the 404 Page Not Found error (details showing in URL is http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/the_data_from_my_database_field_slug)
But when I put in this code, it displays the data from $news_item['slug'] Ok
Code:
<!-- test div -->
<div>
<?php echo $news_item['slug'] ?>
</div>I have gone back and checked all my code against that in the tutorial and this is not the problem. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Hi I don't know the tutorial you’re talking about. But you bette var_dumping this var in order to see if the value is a valid controller or if its well remapped (_remap)

Hey PamelaK,
Did you add the routes to your routes config file?
Code:
$route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/view/$1';
$route['news'] = 'news';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';If you didn't it will never work.
