OK, so I have a new question.
After all of the above I was experimenting this afternoon with masking
urls (not for anything dodgy, I assure you). I'm wondering though, why
does the below provide the work as designed on my local machine
("localhost"), but not work when on the remote server?
routes_in=(
('/(([a-zA-Z0-9])*)$' , '/application/controller/function?variable=
$1'),
)
routes_out=()
What's meant to happen is that any string of alphanumeric characters
entered after www.domain.com/ is treated as a value to be passed on to
a function. If there is a trailing slash (or some other non-
alphanumeric character) it fails to match and url remains as is.
Like I said, I'm just experimenting here, but I'd like to understand
what is going wrong.
