How do you pass value through a query string fetching from database in codeigneiter?

Question

I want to pass this value in controller function, fetching id in the query string from the database:

<a href="<?php echo base_url()?>.'index.php?n=<?php echo p->id?>'/control/show'">show</a>

what is the controller and the method, you are trying to call? and what is the parameter passed? — CodeGodie

Your URL is incorrect. Your anchor, when clicked will redirect to this:

http://localhost/index.php?n=3/control/show

CI will break error out since it does not see the controller.

You need to first create your controller like this:

class Control extends CI_Controller{

    public function show($id){
       // your code here
    }

}

Now you can use the following URL:

http://localhost/index.php/control/show/3

Or in your anchor:

<a href="<?php echo base_url() ?>index.php/control/show/<?php echo $p->id ?>">show</a>
