Issue with getting the data from database with clean URL

Hello,

I'm using codeigniter 3.1.10. Here I have few category names stored in the MySQL database and displaying on a webpage.

So the link I want is "domain/category/category_name"

Here "/category/" is defined in the route and I have converted "category_name" as "Slug" and called in the URL.

when I click the category name on the webpage the URL is "domain/category/category_name(slug)" which is perfect but the products which are related to that category is not showing on the webpage.

How should I pass category id to get the related products of that category from the database and show on webpage? what concept should I apply here ?

First you need to get the id your not stating where you are getting the id from, there are several ways of
passing id's.

actually we have 2 different kind 1 is product and another is service. So I have defined a status as 1 for product and 2 for service. So how to pass those parameters so that when user visits product related categories products will show and service categories will show services

With slug as foreign key I can do it but I want to pass unique id not the slugs.

Let me know how can I pass id

As I mentioned above there are lots of ways on how to do.

You can save the id to the session and then get them from the session.

You can also use a hidden input and set them then check the input post of it.
