Question

I would like to get URLs like http://mysite.com/user/1 to route to the function get($id) {...} of my Controller User.

I have tried the following in order to do so, but I get a 404 Error, Page Not Found rather than the output Hello, User 1.

Please can you tell me where I am going wrong?!

//routes file
$route['user/:id'] = "user/$1";

//user controller

function get($id) {
    echo "Hi, User $id";
}

Edit—-

My code works perfectly when I run http://mysite.com/user/get/1, but not when I run http://mysite.com/user/1.

Answer 1

This should work:

$route['user/(:num)'] = "user/get/$1";
