passing parameters to controller, please help!

[eluser]Crawley[/eluser]
hello, why can't I pass parameters to my controllers via uri?

Code:

<?php
class Dvd extends Controller {

...

    function dvdinfo($id)
    {
        echo $id;
        
    }

}
?>

now when i load the following uri:

Code:

http://.../index.php/dvd/dvdinfo/123

i get following error:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: Missing argument 1 for Dvd::dvdinfo(), called in .../dvd/system/codeigniter/CodeIgniter.php on line 207 and defined

Filename: controllers/dvd.php

Line Number: 17

Can you paste in the entire controller?

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
That's quite strange. First of all, I recommend that you set your controller method to assume that one hasn't been provided:

Code:

function dvdinfo($id=NULL)
{
    if ( ! $id) { show_error('No ID specified'); }
}

Then you can code your method to fail gracefully if an ID is not provided.

What does:

Code:

echo $this->uri->uri_string();

give you when called from within your method?

It gives following:

/dvd/dvdinfo/123

...And what happens when you use the controller method I posted? Does it give you an error?

I'm really at a loss here. The only thing I can think of, might be to change uri_protocol in the config.php file. REQUEST_URI or QUERY_STRING might help.

Yup, that works:

An Error Was Encountered

No ID specified

I already tried all 5 of them.

Do you have any routes set up? Also, what does your htaccess file look like?

my config/routes.php:

Code:

$route['default_controller'] = "application";

$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = "";

Also, what does your htaccess file look like?

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|img|css|js|video_files|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

I don't know much about this file, but the result seems to be the same even if I delete it...

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Please try changing the last line to this:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
