-<h1>Views</h1>
-
-<p>A <dfn>view</dfn> is simply a web page, or a page fragment, like a header, footer, sidebar, etc.
-In fact, views can flexibly be embedded within other views (within other views, etc., etc.) if you need this type
-of hierarchy.</p>
-
-<p>Views are never called directly, they must be loaded by a <a href="controllers.html">controller</a>. Remember that in an MVC framework, the Controller acts as the
-traffic cop, so it is responsible for fetching a particular view. If you have not read the <a href="controllers.html">Controllers</a> page
-you should do so before continuing.</p>
-
-<p>Using the example controller you created in the <a href="controllers.html">controller</a> page, let's add a view to it.</p>
-
-<h2>Creating a View</h2>
-
-<p>Using your text editor, create a file called <dfn>blogview.php</dfn>, and put this in it:</p>
-
-<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="10">
-<html>
-<head>
-<title>My Blog</title>
-</head>
-<body>
- <h1>Welcome to my Blog!</h1>
-</body>
-</html>
-</textarea>
-
-<p>Then save the file in your <dfn>application/views/</dfn> folder.</p>
-
-<h2>Loading a View</h2>
-
-<p>To load a particular view file you will use the following function:</p>
-
-<code>$this->load->view('<var>name</var>');</code>
-
-<p>Where <var>name</var> is the name of your view file. Note: The .php file extension does not need to be specified unless you use something other than <kbd>.php</kbd>.</p>
-
-
-<p>Now, open the controller file you made earlier called <dfn>blog.php</dfn>, and replace the echo statement with the view loading function:</p>
-
-
-<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="10">
-<?php
-class Blog extends Controller {
-
- function index()
- {
- $this->load->view('blogview');
- }
-}
-?>
-</textarea>
-
-
-<p>If you visit the your site using the URL you did earlier you should see your new view. The URL was similar to this:</p>
-
-<code>example.com/index.php/<var>blog</var>/</code>
-
-<h2>Loading multiple views</h2>
-<p>CodeIgniter will intelligently handle multiple calls to $this->load->view from within a controller. If more then one call happens they will be appended together. For example, you may wish to have a header view, a menu view, a content view, and a footer view. That might look something like this:</p>
-<p><code><?php<br />
-<br />
-class Page extends Controller {<br /><br />
-
- function index()<br />
- {<br />
- $data['page_title'] = 'Your title';<br />
- $this->load->view('header');<br />
- $this->load->view('menu');<br />
- $this->load->view('content', $data);<br />
- $this->load->view('footer');<br />
- }<br />
-<br />
-}<br />
- ?></code></p>
-<p>In the example above, we are using "dynamically added data", which you will see below.</p>
-<h2>Storing Views within Sub-folders</h2>
-<p>Your view files can also be stored within sub-folders if you prefer that type of organization. When doing so you will need
-to include the folder name loading the view. Example:</p>
-
-<code>$this->load->view('<kbd>folder_name</kbd>/<var>file_name</var>');</code>
-
-
-<h2>Adding Dynamic Data to the View</h2>
-
-<p>Data is passed from the controller to the view by way of an <strong>array</strong> or an <strong>object</strong> in the second
-parameter of the view loading function. Here is an example using an array:</p>
-
-<code>$data = array(<br />
- 'title' => 'My Title',<br />
- 'heading' => 'My Heading',<br />
- 'message' => 'My Message'<br />
- );<br />
-<br />
-$this->load->view('blogview', <var>$data</var>);</code>
-
-<p>And here's an example using an object:</p>
-
-<code>$data = new Someclass();<br />
-$this->load->view('blogview', <var>$data</var>);</code>
-
-<p>Note: If you use an object, the class variables will be turned into array elements.</p>
-
-
-<p>Let's try it with your controller file. Open it add this code:</p>
-
-<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="14">
-<?php
-class Blog extends Controller {
-
- function index()
- {
- $data['title'] = "My Real Title";
- $data['heading'] = "My Real Heading";
-
- $this->load->view('blogview', $data);
- }
-}
-?>
-</textarea>
-
-
-<p>Now open your view file and change the text to variables that correspond to the array keys in your data:</p>
-
-
-<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="10">
-<html>
-<head>
-<title><?php echo $title;?></title>
-</head>
-<body>
- <h1><?php echo $heading;?></h1>
-</body>
-</html>
-</textarea>
-
-<p>Then load the page at the URL you've been using and you should see the variables replaced.</p>
-
-<h2>Creating Loops</h2>
-
-<p>The data array you pass to your view files is not limited to simple variables. You can
-pass multi dimensional arrays, which can be looped to generate multiple rows. For example, if you
-pull data from your database it will typically be in the form of a multi-dimensional array.</p>
-
-<p>Here's a simple example. Add this to your controller:</p>
-
-<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="17">
-<?php
-class Blog extends Controller {
-
- function index()
- {
- $data['todo_list'] = array('Clean House', 'Call Mom', 'Run Errands');
-
- $data['title'] = "My Real Title";
- $data['heading'] = "My Real Heading";
-
- $this->load->view('blogview', $data);
- }
-}
-?>
-</textarea>
-
-
-<p>Now open your view file and create a loop:</p>
-
-
-<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="24">
-<html>
-<head>
-<title><?php echo $title;?></title>
-</head>
-<body>
-<h1><?php echo $heading;?></h1>
-
-<h3>My Todo List</h3>
-
-<ul>
-<?php foreach($todo_list as $item):?>
-
-<li><?php echo $item;?></li>
-
-<?php endforeach;?>
-</ul>
-
-</body>
-</html>
-</textarea>
-<p><strong>Note:</strong> You'll notice that in the example above we are using PHP's alternative syntax. If you
-are not familiar with it you can read about it <a href="alternative_php.html">here</a>.</p>
-
-<h2>Returning views as data</h2>
-
-<p>There is a third <strong>optional</strong> parameter lets you change the behavior of the function so that it returns data as a string
-rather than sending it to your browser. This can be useful if you want to process the data in some way. If you
-set the parameter to <kbd>true</kbd> (boolean) it will return data. The default behavior is <kbd>false</kbd>, which sends it
-to your browser. Remember to assign it to a variable if you want the data returned:</p>
-
-<code>$string = $this->load->view('<var>myfile</var>', '', <kbd>true</kbd>);</code>
