simple routes question

Hi all,

I have a very simple app that takes a DB id from the user and does some calculations from data in the some dbs and shows the results. I'd like to make a link and the bottom of the results page that emails the results to an email address.

Rather than pass a large amount of data via the URL to a controller, I thought I'd execute the index function one more time.

I want to be able pass a boolean argument to the index function in my controller. This boolean value will then determine if the data is send to screen or if it is returned.

I playing with routes to try to get a default argument set to FALSE. However, it only works when the exact controller/function is entered. I'd like it to also work when root url is used and $route['default_controller'] routes to the correct controller. ':any' doesn't seem to work nor does '/:any'.

The low down:
How can set a route for the root URL? (http://mysite.com/myapproot)

Does that make sense? Thanks all!

Never mind... Sorry for the noise. It was simple. Set $route['default_controller'].
