URI segments with index() of a controller? - El Forum - 04-25-2008

I've got a User controller. I want users to be able to view their profiles with:
http://localhost/user/<username>
So I added this function into the User controller:
Code:
function index()
{
$username = $this->uri->segment(1);
$users = $this->db->query('select * from users where username = "' . $username . '" limit 1');
if ($users->num_rows > 0) {
$user = $users->result();
$data['user_info'] = $user[0];
$this->load->view('user_view', $data);
} else {
$this->load->view('invalid_user_view');
}
}however going to url http://localhost/user/<username> produces a 404 error...
if I rename the function above to view() and use segment(3), and direct my browser to http://localhost/user/view/<username> everything works fine. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong with the index() case?
Thanks

Yep. CI will try to locate the username as a method of the controller. You may like to consider _remap() instead. Or use routes. Good Luck and Welcome to the forums.
