CodeIgniter manage records from database

I am having a trouble coming up with the concept of this. My application is stored in http://localhost (duh) and I have an admin panel, which can be accessed by going to http://localhost/admin. I have admin panel menu and one of the menus is Manage Pages, accessed by going to http://localhost/admin/manage_pages. Manage Pages page brings up results from database which have title, description and ID. Now, my question is, if I want to edit lets say the third row's title, how would I do this? would it be http://localhost/admin/manage_pages/3? But for that case I would have to create a function in controller? I am confused.

If you like the way the URI is formatted: localhost/admin/manage_pages/3, then the onlt thing you are missing is to accept a variable for your controller function. In this instance I prefer to set a default value if none was passed, and with an if else statement, you have a method that will load the specified page, or load all pages when nothing is passed.

Controller admin:

public function manage_pages($page_id='')
{
    if ($page_id == '')
    {    LOAD ALL RESULTS }
    else
    {    LOAD 1 RESULT    }
}
