Question

I’m working on a CodeIgniter project and trying to get the id of this URI:

http://example.com/myDomain/index.php/public/calendar/gestionEvent?id=[e-mail]

I want the controller to delete or update the event using this ID.

I tried $this->uri->segment(4)but it doesn’t seem to work and doesn’t show anything.

Answer 1

in cotroller

$id = $this->input->get('id');

$data['id'] = $id ;

you can not use uri segment here

ex:-http://example.com/index.php/news/local/metro/crime_is_up

here you can use uri segments

The segment numbers would be this:

1.news
2.local
3.metro

UPDATE

if you want to get only the id with out @google.com you can simply use explode()

$id_string = $this->input->get('id');

$id_string_exp = explode("@", $id_string);

$id = $id_string_exp[0];
