    in here is your string
    it has the same variable substitution rules
    as a double quoted string.
    when you end it, put the indicator word at the
    start of the line (no spaces before it)
    and put a semicolon after it

Normally I would just call the URI segment to pull it out. That approach would work fine unless you need to move around your URL structure later on. So in case you are needing to find either the method or class name, here you go:

To return the name of a controller in CodeIgniter:

$this->router->fetch_class();

To return the name of a method in CodeIgniter:

$this->router->fetch_method();

Example

class News extends CI_Controller {
 
    function __construct() {
       parent::__construct();
    }
 
   function latest() {
      echo $this->router->fetch_class(); // Returns "News"
      echo $this->router->fetch_method(); // Returns "latest"
   }
 
}
