[quote author="dippy" date="1256614431"]I have the following in my routes:

Code:

$route['services/:any'] = "services/section";

so i can goto a url like this: 'services/towing' and the php will pull that sections info into the page view.

and then i also want to have a url like the following: 'services/towing/company-name' - and have that route to another function in the services controller to pull that's company info.

can this be done?

when i tried to do this all i kept getting was the section.

so i added this for a temp. solution.

Code:

$route['search/:any'] = "services/search";

but id like to have it under services/section in the url.

any suggestions?[/quote]

Code:

$route['services/(*+)' = "services/section/$1";

So services/towing would remap to services/section/towing, and services/towing/company would reroute to services/section/towing/company

Do i make the section function in the services controller to be able to handle company names as well as the section name?

how would the function be setup?

$route['services/(*+)' = "services/section/$1";

ahh thanks. works now.

now would i just inside that section function use uri->segment to run thru different models?

You can, or use function parameters - personal preference, really.

can you give me a quick example on what you mean?

like this?

Code:

function section($section, $company) {


}

??

is that what you mean?
i was thinking this way:

Code:

function section() {

$section = $this->uri->segment(2);
$company = $this->uri->segment(3);

}
