How do I retrieve a uri segment in a hook?

If your hook is pre-controller, before the Controller (and with it the CI_Base) has been instantiated, the get_instance() won't work.
In that case you could try:

Code:

load_class('uri')->segment(1); // CI 1.7.2
load_class('uri', 'core')->segment(1); // CI 2.0 - needs the second parameter if the URI lib wasn't loaded yet
