Tutorial error...?? (RESOLVED)

From a new CI user...

I was following the tutorials and got the first part of the news page to work, but when I click on the "slug" entry to go to the second single-post page, I get CI's 404 error.

My model code is as follows:

Code:

<?php
class News_model extends CI_Model {

public function __construct() {

  $this->load->database();
}

public function get_news($slug = FALSE) {

  if ($slug === FALSE) {
   $query = $this->db->get('news');
   return $query->result_array();
  }
  
  $query = $this->db->get_where('news', array('slug' => $slug));
  return $query->row_array();
}
}

My View code (/views/news/index.php) is as follows:

Code:

<?php foreach ($news as $news_item): ?>

    <h2>&lt;?php echo $news_item['title'] ?&gt;</h2>
    <div id="main">
        &lt;?php echo $news_item['text'] ?&gt;
    </div>
    <p><a hre="news/&lt;?php echo $news_item['slug'] ?&gt;">View article</a></p>

&lt;?php endforeach ?&gt;

and my view code for the single page (/views/news/view.php) is as follows:

Code:

<?php
echo '<h2>'.$news_item['title'].'</h2>';
echo $news_item['text'];

My controller code is:

Code:

<?php
class News extends CI_Controller {

  public function __construct()
  {
   parent::__construct();
   $this->load->model('news_model');
  }

  public function index()
  {
   $data['news'] = $this->news_model->get_news();
   $data['title'] = 'News archive';
  
   $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
   $this->load->view('news/index', $data);
   $this->load->view('templates/footer');
  }

  public function view($slug)
  {
   $data['news'] = $this->news_model->get_news($slug);
   if (empty($data['news_item']))
   {
    show_404();
   }
  
   $data['title'] = $data['news_item']['title'];
  
   $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
   $this->load->view('news/view', $data);
   $this->load->view('templates/footer');
  }
}

Just for good measure, I have included my routes file as well...

Code:

*/

$route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/view/$1';
$route['news'] = 'news';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
//$route['404_override'] = '';

I would have posted the HTML, but the forum won't let me...
