路由中的未定义变量（Codeigniter）

Question

I wanted to minimize my URL but I am having a problem. My route in Routes.php looks like this:

$route["news/(:num)"] = "home/news/$news";

In Home controller I have news function which takes a paramater $news. This is working http://localhost/bestcarsinfo/home/news/7

But when I use new URL version http://localhost/bestcarsinfo/news/7 I am getting error saying:

Undefined variable: newsinconfig/routes.php

Well, as the error says, $news is undefined. The router uses the $1 (or other numeric values) as a reference in the replacement for the regex that parses the route, you can't pass it arbitarty variables.

it should be:

$route["news/(:num)"] = "home/news/$1";

A snippet from the Router.php core class:

if (preg_match('#^'.$key.'$#', $uri))
{
   // Do we have a back-reference?
   if (strpos($val, '$') !== FALSE AND strpos($key, '(') !== FALSE)
   {
      $val = preg_replace('#^'.$key.'$#', $val, $uri);
   }
   return $this->_set_request(explode('/', $val));
}
