FutureKing,

Take a look at the source of CI_URI and CI_Router in system/libraries/URI.php and system/libraries/Router.php for how Codeigniter detects the URI string and uses it for routing, in particular the private functions. Then look at system/codeigniter/codeigniter.php for the client code that uses those classes to load controllers ,etc.
