Codeigniter - controller and method

Question

i'm developing a new site and i have this situation:

- Products
 \_ Category1
    \_Product1
    \_Product2
 \_ Category2
    \_Produc1
    \_Product2

I have created my Product controller to show all the category but now i need to create a controller for each category, is it possibile? I would have something like:

www.example.com/product/category/product-name

how can i setup my controller? i can't write a method for each category because this is not definited...

are you using a database to store the category and products? — Henesnarfel

You should use the Product Controller, add a function load_category($category_name='') and route URL segment to this function.

Edit app/config/routes.php and add a line like this:

$route['product'] = 'product/index';
$route['product/(:any)'] = 'product/load_category/$1';

An so any URL like: www.example.com/product/categorya or www.example.com/product/categoryb or .. will send a request to load_category methos from Product Controller.

Add this for products:

$route['product/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'product/load_product/$2';
