Question

Here is the route with regex:

$route["searchresults/((parameter|type|something)-([0-9]+)\/)+"] = 'somecontroller';

here is an example:

www.somedomain.com/searchresults/parameter-21/

The above url is not being recongized by codeigniter’s routes, and is saying 404. What is wrong with the regex in the route?

Answer 1

This could be due to a the trailing slash in your regex, you may have more luck by either removing it or making it optional:

$route["searchresults/((parameter|type|something)-([0-9]+)\/*)+"] = 'somecontroller';
