URL question

[eluser]Sumon[/eluser]
Michael Wales i m a bit confused. For the lack of language skill i can't understand whether i can make you guys correct sense or not. anyway, my last post is not working..... would you please write a sample code so that i can be more clear.

[eluser]srobet[/eluser]
It was not so difficult i think.

The controller :

Code:

function index()
{
     //leave it blank at this moment
}

function show_project($var)
{
     echo $var; //to test
}

Routing :

Code:

$route['project/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)'] = 'project/show_project/$1';

Try this on url : http://yourlocalhost/index.php/project/t...he-project
Assume you didn't set the .htaccess.

Thanks...Still i am getting a surprising error. Really i am surprised. Let me post it here.
Here is the project controller

Code:

class Project extends Controller
{
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::Controller();
    }
    function index($var)
    {
        echo $var; //Works fine
    }
}

Here is Member controller

Code:

class Member extends Controller
{
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::Controller();
    }

    function index($var)
    {
        echo $var; //Getting error
    }
}

Here is my routing configuration

Code:

$route['project/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)'] = 'project/index/$1'; //Consider it Line 1
$route['member/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)'] = 'member/index/$1';  //Consider it Line 2

Right now member controller works fine for http://localhost/CodeIgniterModuleDev/member/123 But getting 404 error for http://localhost/CodeIgniterModuleDev/project/123

But if i interchange code of line 1 and 2. then works fine for http://localhost/CodeIgniterModuleDev/project/123 and getting same error http://localhost/CodeIgniterModuleDev/member/123

What's the reason why second route rule works but not both?

If I do understand you correctly, only the first router will work. If you turn them over one which didn't work will work and in reverse.

I see you have got a - sign behind the 9 in both lines. The - sign does however have a meaning. What happens if you escape that character?

[eluser]Sumon[/eluser]
I have tried after remove - sign but result is same.

Code:

$route['project/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)'] = 'project/index/$1'; //Consider it Line 1
$route['member/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)'] = 'member/index/$1';  //Consider it Line 2

Just breezed through this thread and I am quite nonplussed.

First, are you using CI >= Version 1.4.0? (regex routing was introduced in 1.4.0).

Second, try double-quoting your route values, just for the sake of trying.

Code:

$route['project/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)'] = "project/index/$1"; //Consider it Line 1
$route['member/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)'] = "member/index/$1";  //Consider it Line 2

And finally, make sure you don't have an application/libraries/MY_Router.php that could be altering something with how CI routes

[eluser]Michael Wales[/eluser]
I still can't understand why you would route something to the index() method - I can't think of a more non-descript method name, maybe asdf()...

[eluser]Sumon[/eluser]
My CI version is 1.6.3 and still surprising result. works fine one controller at a time but not both.
shall i upload my application folder as zip?

yah this is very true, it's not good practice to route index() method. actually right now, this is just a test why one controller works fine but not both.
at this moment, it's not my project related. so we can leave this topic but i highly interested to know why not both controller working simultaneously.

[eluser]Michael Wales[/eluser]
What if you don't route to index()?

I've used the exact code you are using, with the exception of routing to the index() method and it works fine...
