Codeigniter url creation for newly added product in database

There are lots of approaches. One is to ask your user to give a unique HTML name for the product when they are creating it. Another is to url_encode the product name, say, so spaces become underscores etc. Another is to encode the product name with the model number combined, removing any non URL permitted characters. You can do all this with php functions, or CI helpers, or generate your own method.
