Hello,

I have a weird problem probably due to the fact that I am new to CI.
I have an application with a user menu that conists of a list of menu. When you click on the user name, it is supposed to call a controller passing the user ID ($u_id) as a variable as indicated below :

which results in a link like :

http://localhost/11/index.php/user_details?u_id=1

The controller has the line to retrieve the variable :

or

However I always get the error :

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined index: u_id

Filename: controllers/user_details.php

Line Number: 9

followed by :

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in f:\easyphp1-8\www\11\system\application\controllers\user_details.php on line 13

Which is logical the variable being the criteria for my next query.

If I enter

the query works.

Can anyone help please ?

GET data isn’t allowed by Code Igniter because it uses URL segments, unless you’ve enabled query strings in the config file.

Check the User Guide on the URI Class, specifically segmented urls ($this->uri->segment(n) ).

Thanks for the information David.

I appreciate the pointer Martin.
Cheers.

Thanks David and Martin.
I have indeed solved this problem.

Ignorance of the Law is no excuse

as the saying goes but it sure as heck changes your coding habits.

I just love it and it is far cleaner.
