How can I secure this little.

[quote author="Crimp" date="1220874905"]CI has built in error handling. It's very handy. See the user guide. I like the custom template for situations where people may speculate in an article ID or similar; you can then put up a page stating that the article in question is not available and offer some options for redirection.[/quote]

ah good call, So change my code to now.

Code:

if ($data['query']->num_rows() != 1) { // check if the ID exists or 404 page
  show_error('The Link requested was not found');
     }

Which looks a better showing the nice css styled CI 404 page.
