This is part of web development kindergarten. I have to wonder if they even bothered trying to learn about it, because there's gotta be at least a few hundred tutorial websites that teach a person how to use it.

To OP and those who have problems with this subject:

1) Would you take calculus before having basic math skills?
2) Would you take an advanced organic chemistry class without first taking a basic science class?

That's a pretty ignorant comment. For one, I have been using mod_rewrite for ten years across several platforms. I just couldn't get it to work on CI. It turns out it was an obscure tweak that I had to make.

Two, I don't have clients, I work for a certain social network in Seattle and am working on a side project using CI.[/quote]

My advice for you is, read all posts, read all comments, try and experiment each solution and see which one works the best for you, also do a little Google search to see what each line does so you understand what you use and just ignore the flamers. Some people just want to show how "great" and "experienced" they are compared to everyone else, instead of just helping.
