How to retrieve the value of 'default_controller' ?

[eluser]stormbytes[/eluser]
I'm wondering if it's possible to retrieve the value for 'default_controller' from Routes?

Code:

$this->router->fetch_class();

Hiya InsiteFX

I don't think that's right... $this->router->fetch_class() returns the 'current' class (and not the default_controller). Now, I don't actually "know" this But after watching the Netbeans debugger cycle through enough times, you start deducing things

Especially when the $var I've assigned that result to changes with each pass!

I do know it's somewhere in the Router class..

Oh here's a source:

fetch_class()
function fetch_class( )
Fetch the current class
Returns string
Access public
Defined in libraries/Router.php, line 321

In case someone comes across this post looking for the same...

Code:

// Load the routes.php file.
@include(APPPATH.'config/routes'.EXT);
$this->routes = ( ! isset($route) OR ! is_array($route)) ? array() : $route;

// Set the default controller so we can display it in the event
// the URI doesn't correlated to a valid controller.
$this->default_controller = ( ! isset($this->routes['default_controller']) OR $this->routes['default_controller'] == '') ?
