Question

I have a little question. I am using Codeigniter 2.1.0 and I have the following code in my routes.php.

$route['default_controller'] = "photo";
$route['404_override'] = 'error';

$route['photo/:num'] = 'photo/index/$1';
$route['people/:num'] = 'people/index/$1'; 

The weird thing is, sometimes when I go to http://www.myurl.com/photo/1 it works and othertimes it redirects me to my error page.

Anyone maby has any idea what is wrong with my routes ?

Already thanks in advance!

This is not correct

$route['photo/(:num)'] = 'photo/index/$1';
$route['people/(:num)'] = 'people/index/$1'; 

you have to write this route

$route['photo/(:num)'] = 'photo/$1';
$route['people/(:num)'] = 'people/$1'; 

in that way only number are permitted.

index is not necessary.
