Hi, i am new italian user. CI is very good. I have a problem. I would want to call my controller 'my-test' but this create this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '-', expecting '{' in D:\wwwroot\codeigniter\system\application\controllers\my-test.php on line 3 Why i cannot use the character '-' on my controllers? Thanks you

don't think i have ever used a '-' in a function name. Can you not just use a '_' instead. I guess php might be expecting the '-' to mean minus and thats why you get the parse error.

Function names follow the same rules as other labels in PHP. A valid function name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores. As a regular expression, it would be expressed thus: [a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*. php.net I never used it either but if you see it through an SEO view it would make sense to use a hyphen between words. But you can solve it using routes. |
