codeigniter load view

A codeigniter load view is a web page that displays all the elements of the UI. In many cases, the view is often a fragment of the page (such as header, footer, widget areas, and sidebars). In many cases, views can be embedded in other views. One important aspect of views is that views could not be called directly. You need to load the views through a controller. In this tutorial, I will highlight the simple, and yet very important process of how to pass data in a CodeIgniter application deployed on any Web Hosting for PHP.

The CodeIgniter URL Helper comes to use with the divert() function that performs a header redirect to the way you indicate as a parameter. redirect('/login/form/', 'refresh'); Just make sure you stack the URL Helper earlier to anticipating this to work.

How to Pass Data from View to Controller in Codeigniter

Create a View

Create a new text file and name it cwblogview.php. Save this file in application/views/ directory. Open the file and add the following code to it:

<html> <head>         <title>Blog</title> </head> <body>         <h1>Welcome to Blog</h1> </body> </html>

Load the View

Loading a view is usually executed through the following syntax:

$this->load->view('name');

where 'name' is the name of the view

Noe creates a controller with the name Blog.php. This controller will contain the method for loading the view:

<?php class Blog extends CI_Controller {      public function index()     {         $this->load->view('cwblogview');     } }

Once you have created the controller, the URL for the view would be:

Your-domain.com/index.php/blog/

Pass array from the controller to view

Here's the controller code below. You can paste it inside your controller file or could put it in the controller object.

$data['mega_header'][] = (object) array('title' => 'portfolio image' ,      'img' => 'https://complete path of image' );  $this->load->view('multiple_array', $data);

Here, objects are shown as an Arrow( -> ) and arrays as a Brick. You can access any object using the arrow ( ->) and an array with the Brick ['..'].

So, add the following code in the view file:

<?php          if (isset($mega_header)){              foreach ($mega_header as $key) {                  ?>                  <div class="header_item">                      <img alt="<?php echo($key['title']); ?>" src="<?php echo($key->img); ?>"/>                  </div>                  <?php              }          }          ?>

Load Multiple Views

Within a controller, CodeIgniter could handle multiple calls to the view ($this->load->view()). Check out the following code:

<?php class Page extends CI_Controller {     public function index()     {         $data['page_title'] = 'title';         $this->load->view('header');         $this->load->view('menu');         $this->load->view('content', $data);         $this->load->view('footer');     }  }

Sort Views in Subfolders

It is easy to sort views within subfolders:

$this->load->view('directory_name/file_name');

Add Dynamic Data to Views

The usual route of data transfer from the controller to view is through an array or an object. The usual case is that the array or the object is passed as the second parameter of the view load method (something like the following):

$data = array(     'title' => 'Title',     'heading' => 'Heading',     'message' => ' Message' );  $this->load->view('cwblogview', $data);

The controller would look like this:

<?php class Blog extends CI_Controller {      public function index()     {         $data['title'] = "Title";         $data['heading'] = "Heading";          $this->load->view('cwblogview', $data);     } }

This is what the view file would look like:

<html> <head>     <title><?php echo $title;?></title> </head> <body> <h1><?php echo $heading;?></h1> </body> </html>

Create the Loops

Notice that the data array that is passed to the view files could be both simple variables and multi-dimensional arrays. In the case of multi-dimensional arrays, you could set up loops to generate multiple rows. For this, add the following code in the controller:

<?php class Blog extends CI_Controller {     public function index()     {         $data['todo_list'] = array('First Object', 'Second Object', 'Third Object');         $data['title'] = "Title";         $data['heading'] = "Heading";         $this->load->view('cwblogview', $data);     } }

Next, open up the view file and create a loop:

<html> <head>     <title><?php echo $title;?></title> </head> <body> <h1><?php echo $heading;?></h1> <ul>     <?php foreach ($todo_list as $item):?>      <li><?php echo $item;?></li>      <?php endforeach;?> </ul>  </body> </html>

Returning View as Data

The behavior of this method could be further customized through an optional third parameter. Using this parameter returns data as a string instead of sending it to the browser. This is important if you need to have a dataset for processing. Setting the third parameter to TRUE will return the data. The default behavior is FALSE that sends it to the browser.

Using the third parameter, the syntax would be:

$string = $this->load->view('fileview', '', TRUE);
