Question

the url to access the method is like this:
http://localhost/site/cont/method
I want to access this method using GET method like this:
http://localhost/new-tera/paper/lookup_doi/segment but my segment part is already containing /like this:

http://localhost/lookup_doi/segment/containing/slashes
note that the whole segment/containing/slashes is one value.

I am getting this value in my method like this:

public function method ($variable)
{
  echo $variable;
}

//output: segment

and not : segment/containing/slashes

CodeIgniter passes the rest of them as additional arguments. You can either specify the additional arguments (if the number is fixed) or use:

implode('/', func_get_args())

to get the entire string.
