[solved] cannot get uri segment to work
#1

[eluser]paigenotfound[/eluser]
hi im new to CI and ive been struggling about passing variables in url these past few days;

i understand that i can pass the variable by passing it by segments so i have this

Code:
http://localhost/b3t/index.php/client_profile/cid/4

which will catch the cid value (which is 4) in my cid function within my client_profile controller.

Quote:function cid($cid)
{
echo $cid;
}

this works fine but i cant seem to find a way to pass that value to my other controllers which will try to do a db query on one of my models.


however i read in the guide that i can also do a $this->uri->segment(3) which i assume will give me the value of 4 but when i try to echo it (for testing purposes) nothing is echoed back in my browser. i also tried assigning it in a variable but echoing that variable returns nothing.

Code:
$client_id = $this->uri->segment(3);
echo $client_id;

hope someone can help me figure things out. thank you in advance

It's easy to pass the value into another controller, like this:
Code:
redirect("other_controller/some_function/{$cid}");

Have you tried echoing segments 1 and 2?

thanks guys i got it working now. thanks for all your help,

i used the first method i stated instead of the $this->uri->segment(n)

i did the model call within the same function too.
