+
+
+<h1>Code Igniter URLs</h1>
+
+<p>By default, URLs in Code Igniter are designed to be search-engine and human friendly.  Rather than using the standard "query string" 
+approach to URLs that is synonymous with dynamic systems, Code Igniter uses a <strong>segment-based</strong> approach:</p>
+
+<code>www.your-site.com/<var>news</var>/<dfn>article</dfn>/<samp>my_article</samp></code>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Query string URLs can be optionally enabled, as described below.</p>
+
+<h2>URI Segments</h2>
+
+<p>The segments in the URL, in following with the Model-View-Controller approach, usually represent:</p>
+
+<code>www.your-site.com/<var>class</var>/<dfn>function</dfn>/<samp>ID</samp></code>
+
+<ol>
+<li>The first segment represents the controller <strong>class</strong> that should be invoked.</li>
+<li>The second segment represents the class <strong>function</strong>, or method, that should be called.</li>
+<li>The third, and any additional segments, represent the ID and any variables that will be passed to the controller.</p>
+</ol>
+
+<p>The <a href="../libraries/uri.html">URI Class</a> and the <a href="../helpers/url_helper.html">URL Helper</a> 
+contain functions that make it easy to work with your URI data.  In addition, your URLs can be remapped using the 
+<a href="routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature for more flexibility.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>Removing the index.php file</h2>
+
+<p>By default, the <strong>index.php</strong> file will be included in your URLs:
+
+<code>www.your-site.com/<var>index.php</var>/news/article/my_article</code>
+
+<p>You can easily remove this file by using a .htaccess file with some simple rules. Here is an example
+ of such a file, using the "negative" method in which everything is redirected except the specified items:</p>
+
+<code>RewriteEngine on<br />
+RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)<br />
+RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]</code>
+
+<p>In the above example, any HTTP request other than those for index.php, images, and robots.txt is treated as
+a request for your index.php file.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Adding a URL Suffix</h2>
+
+<p>In your <dfn>config/config.php</dfn> file you can specify a suffix that will be added to all URLs generated
+by Code Igniter.  For example, if a URL is this:
+
+<code>www.your-site.com/index.php/products/view/shoes</code>
+
+<p>You can optionaally add a suffix, like <kbd>.html</kbd>, making the page appear to be of a certain type:</p>
+
+<code>www.your-site.com/index.php/products/view/shoes.html</code>
+
+
+<h2>Enabling Query Strings</h2>
+
+<p>In some cases you might prefer to use query strings URLs:</p>
+
+<code>index.php?c=products&m=view&id=345</code>
+
+<p>Code Igniter optionally supports this capability, which can be enabled in your <dfn>application/config.php</dfn> file. If you
+open your config file you'll see these items:</p>
+
+<code>$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;<br />
+$config['controller_trigger'] = 'c';<br />
+$config['function_trigger'] = 'm';</code>
+
+<p>If you change "enable_query_strings" to TRUE this feature will become active.  Your controllers and functions will then
+be accessible using the "trigger" words you've set to invoke your controllers and methods:</p>
+
+<code>index.php?c=controller&m=method</code>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Please note:</strong> If you are using query strings you will have to build your own URLs, rather than utilizing
+the URL helpers (and other helpers that generate URLs, like some of the form helpers) as these are designed to work with 
+segment based URLs.</p>
