You should use the URI class to retrieve the "docupen" and "rc805" segments from your url. You can then use those values in whatever functions you need.

For example, if your url is www.yoursite.com/products/docupen/rc805, you would use the following in your products controller to retrieve the segments and assign them to variables:

$category = $this->uri->segment(2); //docupen
$product = $this->uri->segment(3); //rc805

Then you can use $category and $product however you need to.
