Question

Probably, this sort of questions are asked before but those doesn't address my problem. Anyway, I'm using this routing settings in my applications/config/routes.php file

$route['most-popular-movies-(:num)'] = 'movies/search/popular/$1';

where

1. Controller = movies
2. Function = search
3. Segment1 = popular
4. Segment2 = (Page #)

Now, I want to get the two segments in my controller but it seams routing overwrites the segments and I'm just getting one segment i.e: most-popular-movies-1 when using $this->uri->segment_array()

Any Standard Solution?

EDIT:

I can use this method to split the URI inside my controller

explode('-', $this->uri->segment(1));

but this doesn't look to be a standard.

Like this. use uri_string().

$uri = $this->uri->uri_string();//most-popular-movies-1
$segments = explode('-',$uri);
//print_r($segments);.//array of segments
echo $segments[1];//output popular
