Routes in Codeigniter - 404 Page Not Found

Question

Can someone tell me, where the issue is ??

This is my controller

class Support extends CI_Controller {
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->model('support_model');
        $urlarray = array("index","delete");
        if(!in_array($this->uri->segment(2),$urlarray)){
            $this->viewticket($this->uri->segment(2));
        }
    }

    public function viewticket($id){
        if(!empty($id)){
            $this->load->view('templates/logged_header');       
            $this->load->view('support/view');
            $this->load->view('templates/footer');
        }
    }
}

Here is my routes.php

$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";
$route['benefits'] = 'welcome/benefits';
$route['faqs'] = 'welcome/faqs';
$route['distributors'] = 'welcome/distributors';
$route['contact'] = 'welcome/contact';
$route['purchase'] = 'welcome/purchase';

//login routes
$route['login'] = 'login/index';
$route['logout'] = 'login/logout';

$route['404_override'] = '';

localhost/ciproj/support/hello-world gives me 404 Page Not Found error

If I use exit; after $this->load->view('templates/footer');, the page is showing me blank page.

I don't have anything in routes related to support and every other method is working Is there anything that i'm missing in routes ??

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Judging the title, first of all check if your server is running PHP using CGI/FastCGI or not (you could simply check that by phpinfo()).

If so, change the following in config.php:

$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI";

---

Back to the topic, you could achieve that by using the single-line route below within your routes.php file:

$route['support/(?!index)(?!delete)(:any)'] = "support/viewticket/$1";

And remove these lines from your __construct method:

$urlarray = array("index","delete");
if(!in_array($this->uri->segment(2),$urlarray)){
    $this->viewticket($this->uri->segment(2));
}

Let me know how it works.

Answer 2

Since the above answer did not work for me, I just added this function in my default_controller, and it worked.

    public function __construct() {
    parent::__construct();
    $this->load->helper('url');
    }
