? >Please note the use of FURL in this context. It ’ s shorthand for “ friendly URL. ” A friendly URL means
different things to different people, but at the end of the day, what you want is something that is easy to
remember and type (hence “ friendly ” ). For example, http://www.example.com/about is much friendlier than
http://www.example.com/page/3 or http://www.example.com/page.php?id=3 (the last example isn ’ t typical of
CodeIgniter, by the way).Your admin_pages_create view should look like Figure 8 - 2 when you ’ re done.
