Codeigniter - retrieve parameter without controller name in URL

Question

I'm trying to retrieve string as parameter using following URL scheme: www.myapp.com/[String]

Is there any way I can do this?

*Based on my research, Codeigniter doesn't accept string parameters unless I include the Controller's name in URL: www.myapp.com/[Controller Name]/[String] But this doesn't solve my problem :(

What's you problem. ?

You're right, CI requires controller name at URI, but You can use default_controller.

At config/routes.php add route rule $routes['(:any)'] = 'welcome/index';, remove index.php from Your URL (there're many tutorials and how-to for this), and at last useuriclass at Yourindex()method ofwelcome` controller:

function index(){
    var_dump($this->uri->uri_string());
}

After following your instructions, and I type in "myapp.com/[String]", I get redirected to 404. I think it's still looking for the controller (instead of taking parameter)?
