Routing issue

PHP Code:

$route['posts/create'] = 'PostApi/create';
$route['posts/(:any)'] = 'PostApi/view/$1';
$route['posts'] = 'PostApi/index';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE; 


These are my routes. I am having an issue where i got to www.blog.com/blog/index.php/posts/create and it takes me www.blog.com/blog/index.php/posts which is the page which displays all the posts. I want it to go to the create page. Below is the PostApi controller which loads the views.it seems to be going to index_get method instead of the create_post method. How do i fix this?

PHP Code:

class postApi extends RestController
{

    function __construct()
    {
        // Construct the parent class
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->model('Post_model');  
        
        

    }

    public function index_get(){

        $data['title'] = 'Latest posts';

        $data['posts'] = $this->Post_model->get_posts();
        


        
        $this->load->view('templates/header',$data);
        $this->load->view('posts/index',$data);
        $this->load->view('templates/footer');


    }

    public function view_get($slug = NULL)
    {

        $data['post'] = $this->Post_model->get_posts($slug);
      

        if (empty($data['post'])) {

            show_404();
        }

    
        $data['title'] = $data['post']['title'];

        $this->load->view('templates/header',$data);
        $this->load->view('posts/view',$data);
        $this->load->view('templates/footer');

    }


    public function create_post()
    {
        $data['title'] = 'create title';

        $this->load->view('templates/header',$data);
        $this->load->view('posts/create',$data);
        $this->load->view('templates/footer');




    }



} 


PHP Code:

$route['posts/create'] = 'PostApi/create';
$route['posts/(:any)'] = 'PostApi/view/$1';
$route['posts'] = 'PostApi/index';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;

You should change route names
Because 'posts/create' matches both 'posts/create' and 'posts/(:any)'

May be

Code:

$route['post/create'] = 'PostApi/create';
$route['posts/(:any)'] = 'PostApi/view/$1';

The (:any) is a catch all route and should be the last routes defined!

PHP Code:

$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;

$route['posts/create'] = 'PostApi/create';
$route['posts'] = 'PostApi/index';

// the */(:any) is a catch all route and should be the last route defined!
$route['posts/(:any)'] = 'PostApi/view/$1';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';

Is it okay to load views in the rest controllers functions?
