Route with variable gives 404 - sjender - 12-11-2020
Hi all,
I'm new to CodeIgniter and have a routing issue.
What I try to do is add a variable to the URL to pass it into the method arguments.
I used this example from the CI manual:
PHP Code:
$routes->add('product/(:num)', 'Catalog::productLookupByID/$1');
The actual code to match my needs is:
PHP Code:
$routes->get('/backend/profile/', 'backend/Profile::index');
$routes->get('/backend/profile/(:num)', 'backend/Profile::index/$1');
The method in the controller is:
PHP Code:
public function index($var = null): void
{
echo $var;
//some more stuff
}
When I run the URL http://localhost:8080/backend/profile/1
I expect it to echo "1".
But instead a 404 is thrown [Controller or its method is not found: \App\Controllers\backend::index]
This controller does exist, because when I remove the 1 from the URL, the page loads, however, it is echoing NULL obviously...
What is this beginner missing here???

You have to capitalize the backend, and check your slashes

I now have copied the exact syntax including slashes, and capitailized backend as you said, but sadly it doesn't work
PHP Code:
$routes->get('backend/brands/(:any)', 'Backend/Brands::search/$1');
When I remove the /$1 at the end, the routing comes to the right page, but without the variable...

Hello,
could you try :
PHP Code:
$routes->add('backend/brands/(:any)', 'Backend\Brands::search/$1');
In the documentation you have this example :
PHP Code:
$routes->add('product/(:num)', 'App\Catalog::productLookup');
it's not a / but a \ I think and they use add instead of get.
If I have to use get and post i use match instead of add. with as first parameter ['get','post'].

PHP Code:
$routes->get('/backend/profile', 'Backend\Profile::index');
$routes->get('/backend/profile/(:num)', 'Backend\Profile::index/$1');

@sjender,
Try the most complicated route first followed by a simpler route:
// instead of this
$routes->get('/backend/profile/', 'backend/Profile::index');
$routes->get('/backend/profile/(:num)', 'backend/Profile::index/$1');
// try this
$routes->get('/backend/profile/(:num)', 'backend/Profile::index/$1');
$routes->get('/backend/profile/', 'backend/Profile::index');

Paulbalandan is right. The second parameter must match your namespace and use backslashes.
