Have you even read the user guide, theres a nice section on URI routing

Once you've tried that and are still stuck, post back what code you've got and we can help you some more

$route['page/(.+)'] = "page/index/$1";

Why are you passing the function name into the index method?
Do you not want something like:

Code:

$route['(en|fr|de|etc)/page/(.+)'] = 'page/$2';

[eluser]MianUsman[/eluser]
yes i want this
but problem is that my url should become like that sir

www.abc.com/fr/auction/residential


here residential is not function its category name ,
what i want to remove the function name from my url

Thanks.

Oh, right, I assumed seeing as you where passing something into index and said you wanted to get rid og function name, you where doing some huge switch in your index function

So assuming you have a function call search_by_category, you could use

Code:

$route['(en|fr|de|etc)/auction/(:any)'] = 'auction/search_by_category/$2';

Where $2 is the category in the URL

is it possible to do that
to put language code in start then controller name and the id not function name ,
my mind is stuck now,

help me get rid of this problem

I've not tested it, but there's no reason I see why it wouldn't work
You can do almost anything with routes Just a little bit of reading the User Guide and trial and error

Hi Sir,

hope u will be fine , i solve my problem thanks for urs reply i need to ask one more question
can we write one route which is consider first argument as language code , right now for each function
i have to write this type of routes,

$route['(en|sp|por|pol|chn)/auction/signup'] = 'auction/signup';
$route['(en|sp|por|pol|chn)/auction/login'] = 'auction/login';
$route['(en|sp|por|pol|chn)/auction/forgetpassword'] = 'auction/forgetpassword';

i think this is not a good approach i am really new in routes/htacess,


Regards,
Thanks in Advance.
