Route passing $1 into the controller function instead of the value - Alex.Fry - 05-22-2025
Hi team,
I have a new issue that is confusing me
Using CodeIgnighter4, I have routes set up :
$routes->get("Entry/(:any)",'Home::Entry/$1');
$routes->get("LoadEvents/(:any)",'Home::Load_Events/$l/$2');
In the Controller:
public function Entry($Hive_ID,$Entry_ID){ blah blah....}
public function Load_Events($BeeKeeper_ID,$mth){
echo "$BeeKeeper_ID<br>";
echo "$mth<br>";
The Entry route works without issue... (tested from the application and from postman)
The Load_Events route echoes $1 as $BeeKeeper and nothing for $mth
Can anyone shed some light on this behaviour ?
I have tried
$routes->get("LoadEvents/(:any)",'Home::Load_Events/$l');
$routes->get("LoadEvents/(:any)/(:any)",'Home::Load_Events/$l/$2');
as well to no avail...
Any assistance will be appreciated.

That should explain everything: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/incoming/routing.html#the-behavior-of-any

Thanks ,yes I've been through the document... according to the doc...
$routes->get("LoadEvents/(:any)",'Home::LoadEvents/$l');
Should send a URI like "www.myapp.com/LoadEvents/222/333 through to Home::LoadEvents($P1,$P1).... with $P1 = 222 and $P2 = 333..... This happens correctly with other routes entries as mentioned.
Except that the observed behaviour is
"www.myapp.com/LoadEvents/222/333 FAILS with 2 parameters expected, 1 passed.
Changing to
$routes->get("LoadEvents/(:any)",'Home::LoadEvents/$l/$2);
results in
www.myapp.com/LoadEvents/222/333 through to Home::LoadEvents($P1,$P1).... with $P1 = $1 and $P2 = nothing
The default behaviour set by routing.php
public bool $multipleSegmentsOneParam = false;

Hmmm, ok, even more confusing www.myapp.com/public/index.php/LoadEvents/222/333 works as expected.... This feels like a htaccess issue

Are you working on the local or production server?
I guess, this might be helpful: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/deployment.html#adding-htaccess

PHP Code:
$routes->get("Entry/(:any)",'Home::Entry/$1');
$routes->get("LoadEvents/(:any)",'Home::Load_Events/$l/$2'); <-- looks like an l not a 1

Routes are most flexible thing i have ever used
PHP 8.3
CI 4.6.0
PHP Code:
$routes->get('{locale}/LoadEvents/(:any)', [FrontendController::class, 'LoadEvents/$1']);
$routes->get('{locale}/LoadEvents2/(:any)', [FrontendController::class, 'LoadEvents2']);
PHP Code:
public function LoadEvents($id_1, $id_2): string
{
d($id_1);
dd($id_2);
}
public function LoadEvents2(...$params): string
{
dd($params);
}
1. www.domain.com/en/LoadEvents/123/987
PHP Code:
$id_1 string (3) "123"
PHP Code:
$id_2 string (3) "987"
2. www.domain.com/en/LoadEvents2/123/987/456/beekeeper/mnt-top
PHP Code:
$params array (5)
0 => string (3) "123"
1 => string (3) "987"
2 => string (3) "456"
3 => string (9) "beekeeper"
4 => string (7) "mnt-top"

Correct, that was small L, not integer 1
