php - Codeigniter invalid link opens as a valid link

I tried building a news section page on my codeigniter project. i have my class 'admin' and a function 'articles', normally the valid url is localhost/admin/articles but when i visit localhost/admin/articles/anything it still opens the articles page.

Below is the code for articles

<?php
class Admin extends CI_Controller {
      public function articles() {
        $data['volume'] = $this->user_model->get_volume();
        $data['issue'] = $this->user_model->get_issue();
        $data['article'] = $this->user_model->get_articles();
        $data['title'] = "Admin Panel - Articles";
        $this->parser->parse('admin/head',$data);
        $this->parser->parse('admin/articles',$data);
      }
}
Copy code

my route.php

$route['default_controller'] = 'home';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;
Copy code

.htacess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|resources|robots.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Copy code

The normal url is localhost/admin/articles, but adding anything after articles, e.g localhost/admin/articles/hello/world , still opens the articles page.
