<p>This new method takes care of inserting the news item into the database. The third line contains a new function, <dfn>url_title()</dfn>. This function - provided by the <a href="../helpers/url_helper.html">URL helper</a> - strips down the string you pass it, replacing all spaces by dashes (-) and makes sure everything is in lowercase characters. This leaves you with a nice slug, perfect for creating URIs.</p>
-

<p>Let's continue with preparing the record that is going to be inserted later, inside the <var>$data</var> array. Each element corresponds with a column in the database table created earlier. You might notice a new method here, namely the <dfn>post()</dfn> method from the <a href="../libraries/input.html">input library</a>. This method makes sure the data is sanitized, protecting you from nasty attacks from others. The input library is loaded by default. At last, you insert our <var>$data</var> array into our database.</p>
<h2>Routing</h2>
<p>Before you can start adding news items into your CodeIgniter application you have to add an extra rule to <dfn>config/routes.php</dfn> file. Make sure your file contains the following. This makes sure CodeIgniter sees 'create' as a method instead of a news item's slug.</p>

<p>Our header doesn't do anything exciting. It contains the basic HTML code that we will want to display before loading the main view.

<p>The first thing we do is checking whether the page we're looking for does actually exist. We use PHP's native file_exists() to do this check and pass the path where the file is supposed to be. Next is the function show_404(), a CodeIgniter function that renders the default error page and sets the appropriate HTTP headers.</p>
-<p>In the header template you saw we were using the <var>$title</var> variable to customize our page title. This is where we define the title, but instead of assigning the value to a variable, we assign it to the title element in the <var>$data</var> array. The last thing we need to do is loading the views in the order we want them to be displayed. We also pass the <var>$data</var> array to the header view to make its elements available in the header view file.<p>

<h2>Routing</h2>
<p>Actually, our controller is already functioning. Point your browser to <dfn>index.php/pages/view</dfn> to see your homepage. When you visit <dfn>index.php/pages/view/about</dfn> you will see the about page, again including your header and footer. Now we're going to get rid of the pages/view part in our URI. As you may have seen, CodeIgniter does its routing by the class, method and parameter, separated by slashes.</p>
<p>Open the routing file located at <dfn>application/config/routes.php</dfn> and add the following two lines. Remove all other code that sets any element in the <var>$route</var> array.</p>

<p>The first rule in our <var>$routes</var> array matches every request - using the wildcard operator <dfn>(:any)</dfn> - and passes the value to the view method of the pages class we created earlier.
