Thanks guys for the response.
this '/admin/reports/stores/(:num)' did not work
this the path to the controller "Admin/Reports/", the controller is "Brands" and the function is "stores" hence
PHP Code:
"Admin/Reports/Brands::stores/$1"
.
this works "/admin/reports/stores/:num' but the value ":num" can not be picked up by the function "stores"
I'm on CI-4.14
