How to retrieve routes['default_controller']

[eluser]stormbytes[/eluser]
I'm trying to grab the default controller via one of my libs. Tried the obvious ($CI->uri->router->routes['default_controller']) with no luck. Anyone got a suggestion?

Code:

$this->CI->config->item('default_controller');

Come on... no way..

Couldn't be that easy.

I'm omitting the $this as I'm accessing $CI through a library. Returns FALSE.

The Router has a $default_controller class variable. Beware that this may become a protected value in the future. It may be more appropriate to extend the CI_Router class and add your own get_default_controller() method.

@InsiteFX, default_controller has never been stored in the CI config items?

Now there's a sound idea!

Thanks wiredesignz, I did not know that I thought it was added along with all the other config arrays!
