Im having a weird issue that i cant seem to fix. It's dealing with viewing a company and adding a location to that company.

when viewing a company, my url would look like this:

domain.com/company/view/415

So clearly 415 is the ID of company, the company shows up correctly on my company view page. Now comes the weird part. when clicking on an "Add Location" link, which would take me to :

domain.com/location/add/415

so once again this should be saying Location / Add / 415 (company ID 415)

on this page, if i do it will echo 4 (instead of 415...the company id)

if the company id is 754, the php echo $data['id'] would echo 7 (instead of 754). So its stripping the last 2 numbers off the Company ID.

Here is my controller:

public function add($id) {

            if (isset($_POST["add"]))
        {
            $this->Equipment_model->add($id);
            redirect('company/view/'.$id);
        }
    $data['locations']  = $this->Equipment_model->get_locations($id);
    $data['data'] = $id;
    $this->load->view('templates/header');
    $this->load->view('equipment/add', $data);
    $this->load->view('templates/footer');

}

here is my .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|css|font|img|js|themes)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

Because my php/codeigniter experience is limited, maybe my terminology is off, so i created a video and uploaded it to twitch, here is the link if you wanna see what im talking about:

if anyone could help i'd be so grateful, I've been stuck on this for about a week.

UPDATE

ok now we are getting somehwere, when i change controller to:

public function add($id) {

        if (isset($_POST["add"]))
    {
        $this->Equipment_model->add($id);
        redirect('company/view/'.$id);
    }
$data['locations']  = $this->Equipment_model->get_locations($id);
$data['data'] = $id;
$data['cid'] = $id;
$this->load->view('templates/header');
$this->load->view('equipment/add', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
$this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);

}

if i add the following to the view page:

<?php echo $data['id']; ?> it echos: 7

this one:

<?php echo $cid; ?> it echos 766 (CORRECT ONE)

this one:

<?php echo $data['cid']; ?> it echos 7

my question then is why if the controller show:

$data['data'] = $id; $data['cid'] = $id;

does only the one thats $data['cid'] echo correctly?
