+<h1>URI Class</h1>
+
+<p>The URI Class provides functions that help you retrieve information from your URI strings.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
+
+<h2>$this->uri->segment(<var>n</var>)</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to retrieve a specific segment. Where <var>n</var> is the segment number you wish to retrieve.
+Segments are numbered from left to right. For example, if your full URL is this:</p>
+
+<code>http://www.your-site.com/index.php/news/local/metro/crime_is_up</code>
+
+<p>The segment numbers would be this:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>news</li>
+<li>local</li>
+<li>metro</li>
+<li>crime_is_up</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>By default the function returns FALSE (boolean) if the segment does not exist. There is an optional second parameter that
+permits you to set your own default value if the segment is missing.
+For example, this would tell the function to return the number zero in the event of failure:</p>
+
+<code>$product_id = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);</code>
+
+<p>It helps avoid having to write code like this:</p>
+
+<code>if ($this->uri->segment(3) === FALSE)<br />
+{<br />
+ $product_id = 0;<br />
+}<br />
+else<br />
+{<br />
+ $product_id = $this->uri->segment(3);<br />
+}<br />
+</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->slash_segment(<var>n</var>)</h2>
+
+<p>This function is almost identical to the one above, except it adds a trailing and/or leading slash based on the second
+parameter. If the parameter is not used, a trailing slash added. Examples:</p>
+
+<code>$this->uri->slash_segment(<var>3</var>);<br />
+$this->uri->slash_segment(<var>3</var>, 'leading');<br />
+$this->uri->slash_segment(<var>3</var>, 'both');</code>
+
+<p>Returns:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>segment/</li>
+<li>/segment</li>
+<li>/segment/</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->uri_to_assoc(<var>n</var>)</h2>
+
+<p>This function lets you turn URI segments into and associative array of key/value pairs. Consider this URI:</p>
+
+<code>index.php/user/search/name/joe/location/UK/gender/male</code>
+
+<p>Using this function you can turn the URI into an associative array with this prototype:</p>
+
+<code>[array]<br />
+(<br />
+ 'name' => 'joe'<br />
+ 'location' => 'UK'<br />
+ 'gender' => 'male'<br />
+)</code>
+
+<p>The first parameter of the function lets you set an offset. By default it is set to <kbd>3</kbd> since your
+URI will normally contain a controller/function in the first and second segments. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$array = $this->uri->uri_to_assoc(3);<br />
+<br />
+echo $array['name'];
+</code>
+
+
+<p>The second parameter lets you set default key names, so that the array returned by the function will always contain expected indexes, even if missing from the URI. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$default = array('name', 'gender', 'location', 'type', 'sort');<br />
+<br />
+$array = $this->uri->uri_to_assoc(3, $default);</code>
+
+<p>If the URI does not contain a value in your default, an array index will be set to that name, with a value of FALSE.</p>
+
+<p>Lastly, if a corresponding value is not found for a given key (if there is an odd number of URI segments) the value will be set to FALSE (boolean).</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->assoc_to_uri()</h2>
+
+<p>Takes an associative array as input and generates a URI string from it. The array keys will be included in the string. Example:</p>
+
+<code>$array = array('product' => 'shoes', 'size' => 'large', 'color' => 'red');<br />
+<br />
+$str = $this->uri->assoc_to_str($array);<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: product/shoes/size/large/color/red
+</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->uri_string()</h2>
+
+<p>Returns a string with the complete URI. For example, if this is your full URL:</p>
+
+<code>http://www.your-site.com/index.php/news/local/345</code>
+
+<p>The function would return this:</p>
+
+<code>news/local/345</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->total_segments()</h2>
+
+<p>Returns the total number of segments.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->segment_array()</h2>
+
+<p>Returns an array containing the URI segments. For example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$segs = $this->uri->segment_array();<br />
+<br />
+foreach ($segs as $segment)<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $segment;<br />
+ echo '<br />';<br />
+}</code>
