Documentation: SMALL Typos

[eluser]electBlake[/eluser]
First off just want to say the documentation is stellar. I'm using CodeIgniter because of it!

Anyway, I read through everything but the class references and I found a few small things I think might be bugs. SMALL.




Bug On Page: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...uting.html
Is it bug?: - the example shows (:num) not (:any) when in the explanation it says "any"

Code:

$route['product/(:num)'] = "catalog/product_lookup_by_id/$1";

A URL with "product" as the first segment, and anything in the second will be remapped to the "catalog" class and the "product_lookup_by_id" method passing in the match as a variable to the function.

Bug On Page: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...#remapping
Is it bug?: the example has: $this->$method(); and in the next line $this->default_... Shouldn't it just be $this->method() (maybe it was meant to be $$method() ?)

The overridden function call (typically the second segment of the URI) will be passed as a parameter the _remap() function:

Code:

function _remap($method)
{
    if ($method == 'some_method')
    {
        $this->$method();
    }
    else
    {
        $this->default_method();
    }
}

You're right that the first one should read:

...and a number in the second...

The second one is correct though. $method will be replaced with 'some_method', so it will be equivalent to:

Code:

$this->some_method();

It's called a variable function.

Welcome to CodeIgniter.

thanks! I didn't know you could do a variable method like that.

I got my first site up and running today. I've used cake in the past but I've never gotten into it enough to really enjoy it. CodeIgniter was a breeze.

put documentation typos in the bug tracker (link on CI home page) and they will get fixed - there is even a separate category for them.

thanks.

almost bottom of the page( Explanation table):

Code:

image_heigth

it should be

Code:

image_height

Hello,

I'm a new CI user and I just found this typo when I was reading the User Guide. I was going to open a new thread but before that I decided to search the forum, so I found this thread.
So I'm totally confused. Is it really a typo or it is correct, since this thread is almost 2 years old and the text has not been changed until now? Pascal Kriete says it is an error, I tested and come to the same conclusion, since the results are not correct as expected.
It took 1 hour from my time until now, so I'm going to "Report a bug" as Lab Technician suggested, so it will save some time to everybody reading this in future, I hope.

Code:

$route['product/(:num)'] = "catalog/product_lookup_by_id/$1";

A URL with "product" as the first segment, and anything in the second will be remapped to the "catalog" class and the "product_lookup_by_id" method passing in the match as a variable to the function.
