+<h1>Alternate PHP Syntax for View Files<a class="headerlink" href="#alternate-php-syntax-for-view-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>If you do not utilize CodeIgniter&#8217;s <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/parser.html"><em>template
+engine</em></a>, you&#8217;ll be using pure PHP in your
+View files. To minimize the PHP code in these files, and to make it
+easier to identify the code blocks it is recommended that you use PHPs
+alternative syntax for control structures and short tag echo statements.
+If you are not familiar with this syntax, it allows you to eliminate the
+braces from your code, and eliminate &#8220;echo&#8221; statements.</p>
+<div class="section" id="automatic-short-tag-support">
+<h2>Automatic Short Tag Support<a class="headerlink" href="#automatic-short-tag-support" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">If you find that the syntax described in this page does not
+work on your server it might be that &#8220;short tags&#8221; are disabled in your
+PHP ini file. CodeIgniter will optionally rewrite short tags on-the-fly,
+allowing you to use that syntax even if your server doesn&#8217;t support it.
+This feature can be enabled in your <em>config/config.php</em> file.</p>
+</div>
+<p>Please note that if you do use this feature, if PHP errors are
+encountered in your <strong>view files</strong>, the error message and line number
+will not be accurately shown. Instead, all errors will be shown as
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">eval()</span></tt> errors.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="alternative-echos">
+<h2>Alternative Echos<a class="headerlink" href="#alternative-echos" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Normally to echo, or print out a variable you would do this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;?</span><span class="nx">php</span> <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$variable</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="cp">?&gt;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>With the alternative syntax you can instead do it this way:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;?=</span><span class="nv">$variable</span><span class="cp">?&gt;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="alternative-control-structures">
+<h2>Alternative Control Structures<a class="headerlink" href="#alternative-control-structures" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Controls structures, like if, for, foreach, and while can be written in
+a simplified format as well. Here is an example using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">foreach</span></tt>:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="nx">ul</span><span class="o">&gt;</span>
+
+<span class="o">&lt;?</span><span class="nx">php</span> <span class="k">foreach</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$todo</span> <span class="k">as</span> <span class="nv">$item</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="cp">?&gt;</span>
+
+ <span class="p">&lt;</span><span class="nt">li</span><span class="p">&gt;</span><span class="cp">&lt;?</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$item</span><span class="cp">?&gt;</span><span class="p">&lt;/</span><span class="nt">li</span><span class="p">&gt;</span>
+
+<span class="cp">&lt;?php</span> <span class="k">endforeach</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="cp">?&gt;</span>
+
+<span class="p">&lt;/</span><span class="nt">ul</span><span class="p">&gt;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Notice that there are no braces. Instead, the end brace is replaced with
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">endforeach</span></tt>. Each of the control structures listed above has a similar
+closing syntax: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">endif</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">endfor</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">endforeach</span></tt>, and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">endwhile</span></tt></p>
+<p>Also notice that instead of using a semicolon after each structure
+(except the last one), there is a colon. This is important!</p>
+<p>Here is another example, using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">if</span></tt>/<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">elseif</span></tt>/<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">else</span></tt>. Notice the colons:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;?</span><span class="nx">php</span> <span class="k">if</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$username</span> <span class="o">===</span> <span class="s1">&#39;sally&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="cp">?&gt;</span>
+
+ <span class="p">&lt;</span><span class="nt">h3</span><span class="p">&gt;</span>Hi Sally<span class="p">&lt;/</span><span class="nt">h3</span><span class="p">&gt;</span>

+<p>In some cases you may want to develop classes that exist apart from your

+resources. This is easily possible as you&#8217;ll see.</p>

+
+<p><strong>Any class that you instantiate within your controller methods can
+access CodeIgniter&#8217;s native resources</strong> simply by using the
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_instance()</span></tt> function. This function returns the main
+CodeIgniter object.</p>
+<p>Normally, to call any of the available methods, CodeIgniter requires
+you to use the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></tt> construct:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;url&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+<span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">library</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;session&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+<span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">config</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">item</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;base_url&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+<span class="c1">// etc.</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></tt>, however, only works within your controllers, your models,
+or your views. If you would like to use CodeIgniter&#8217;s classes from
+within your own custom classes you can do so as follows:</p>
+<p>First, assign the CodeIgniter object to a variable:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$CI</span> <span class="o">=&amp;</span> <span class="nx">get_instance</span><span class="p">();</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Once you&#8217;ve assigned the object to a variable, you&#8217;ll use that variable
+<em>instead</em> of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></tt>:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$CI</span> <span class="o">=&amp;</span> <span class="nx">get_instance</span><span class="p">();</span>
+
+<span class="nv">$CI</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;url&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+<span class="nv">$CI</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">library</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;session&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+<span class="nv">$CI</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">config</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">item</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;base_url&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+<span class="c1">// etc.</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If you&#8217;ll be using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_instance()</span></tt> inside another class, then it would
+be better if you assign it to a property. This way, you won&#8217;t need to call
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_instance()</span></tt> in every single method.</p>
+<p>Example:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">Example</span> <span class="p">{</span>
+
+ <span class="k">protected</span> <span class="nv">$CI</span><span class="p">;</span>
+
+ <span class="c1">// We&#39;ll use a constructor, as you can&#39;t directly call a function</span>
+ <span class="c1">// from a property definition.</span>
+ <span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">__construct</span><span class="p">()</span>
+ <span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="c1">// Assign the CodeIgniter super-object</span>
+ <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">CI</span> <span class="o">=&amp;</span> <span class="nx">get_instance</span><span class="p">();</span>
+ <span class="p">}</span>
+
+ <span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">foo</span><span class="p">()</span>
+ <span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">CI</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;url&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+ <span class="nx">redirect</span><span class="p">();</span>
+ <span class="p">}</span>
+
+ <span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">bar</span><span class="p">()</span>
+ <span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">CI</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">config</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">item</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;base_url&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+ <span class="p">}</span>
+<span class="p">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>In the above example, both methods <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">foo()</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bar()</span></tt> will work
+after you instantiate the Example class, without the need to call
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_instance()</span></tt> in each of them.</p>

+<h1>Auto-loading Resources<a class="headerlink" href="#auto-loading-resources" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>CodeIgniter comes with an &#8220;Auto-load&#8221; feature that permits libraries,
+helpers, and models to be initialized automatically every time the
+system runs. If you need certain resources globally throughout your
+application you should consider auto-loading them for convenience.</p>
+<p>The following items can be loaded automatically:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Classes found in the <em>libraries/</em> directory</li>
+<li>Helper files found in the <em>helpers/</em> directory</li>
+<li>Custom config files found in the <em>config/</em> directory</li>
+<li>Language files found in the <em>system/language/</em> directory</li>
+<li>Models found in the <em>models/</em> folder</li>
+</ul>
+<p>To autoload resources, open the <strong>application/config/autoload.php</strong>
+file and add the item you want loaded to the autoload array. You&#8217;ll
+find instructions in that file corresponding to each type of item.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">Do not include the file extension (.php) when adding items to
+the autoload array.</p>
+</div>
+<p>Additionally, if you want CodeIgniter to use a <a class="reference external" href="https://getcomposer.org/">Composer</a>
+auto-loader, just set <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$config['composer_autoload']</span></tt> to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TRUE</span></tt> or
+a custom path in <strong>application/config/config.php</strong>.</p>

+<h1>Web Page Caching<a class="headerlink" href="#web-page-caching" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>CodeIgniter lets you cache your pages in order to achieve maximum
+performance.</p>
+<p>Although CodeIgniter is quite fast, the amount of dynamic information
+you display in your pages will correlate directly to the server
+resources, memory, and processing cycles utilized, which affect your
+page load speeds. By caching your pages, since they are saved in their
+fully rendered state, you can achieve performance that nears that of
+static web pages.</p>
+<div class="section" id="how-does-caching-work">
+<h2>How Does Caching Work?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-does-caching-work" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Caching can be enabled on a per-page basis, and you can set the length
+of time that a page should remain cached before being refreshed. When a
+page is loaded for the first time, the cache file will be written to
+your application/cache folder. On subsequent page loads the cache file
+will be retrieved and sent to the requesting user&#8217;s browser. If it has
+expired, it will be deleted and refreshed before being sent to the
+browser.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="enabling-caching">
+<h2>Enabling Caching<a class="headerlink" href="#enabling-caching" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>To enable caching, put the following tag in any of your controller
+methods:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">output</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">cache</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$n</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Where <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$n</span></tt> is the number of <strong>minutes</strong> you wish the page to remain
+cached between refreshes.</p>
+<p>The above tag can go anywhere within a method. It is not affected by
+the order that it appears, so place it wherever it seems most logical to
+you. Once the tag is in place, your pages will begin being cached.</p>
+<div class="admonition important">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Important</p>
+<p class="last">Because of the way CodeIgniter stores content for output,
+caching will only work if you are generating display for your
+controller with a <a class="reference internal" href="views.html"><em>view</em></a>.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="admonition important">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Important</p>

+your output, you have to manually delete your cache files.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>

+<div class="section" id="deleting-caches">
+<h2>Deleting Caches<a class="headerlink" href="#deleting-caches" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

+<p class="last">Removing the tag will not delete the cache immediately. It will

+<p>The command-line interface is a text-based method of interacting with
+computers. For more information, check the <a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface">Wikipedia
+article</a>.</p>

+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Why run via the command-line?</a><a class="headerlink" href="#why-run-via-the-command-line" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>There are many reasons for running CodeIgniter from the command-line,
+but they are not always obvious.</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Run your cron-jobs without needing to use <em>wget</em> or <em>curl</em></li>
+<li>Make your cron-jobs inaccessible from being loaded in the URL by
+checking the return value of <a class="reference internal" href="common_functions.html#is_cli" title="is_cli"><tt class="xref php php-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">is_cli()</span></tt></a>.</li>
+<li>Make interactive &#8220;tasks&#8221; that can do things like set permissions,
+prune cache folders, run backups, etc.</li>
+<li>Integrate with other applications in other languages. For example, a
+random C++ script could call one command and run code in your models!</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="let-s-try-it-hello-world">
+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Let&#8217;s try it: Hello World!</a><a class="headerlink" href="#let-s-try-it-hello-world" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Let&#8217;s create a simple controller so you can see it in action. Using your
+text editor, create a file called Tools.php, and put the following code
+in it:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;?</span><span class="nx">php</span>
+<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">Tools</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">CI_Controller</span> <span class="p">{</span>
+
+ <span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">message</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$to</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;World&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
+ <span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="s2">&quot;Hello </span><span class="si">{</span><span class="nv">$to</span><span class="si">}</span><span class="s2">!&quot;</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">PHP_EOL</span><span class="p">;</span>
+ <span class="p">}</span>
+<span class="p">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Then save the file to your <em>application/controllers/</em> folder.</p>
+<p>Now normally you would visit the site using a URL similar to this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">index</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">tools</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">message</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">to</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Instead, we are going to open the terminal in Mac/Linux or go to Run &gt; &#8220;cmd&#8221;
+in Windows and navigate to our CodeIgniter project.</p>
+<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ <span class="nb">cd</span> /path/to/project<span class="p">;</span>
+$ php index.php tools message
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If you did it right, you should see <em>Hello World!</em> printed.</p>
+<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ php index.php tools message <span class="s2">&quot;John Smith&quot;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Here we are passing it a argument in the same way that URL parameters
+work. &#8220;John Smith&#8221; is passed as a argument and output is:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">Hello</span> <span class="nx">John</span> <span class="nx">Smith</span><span class="o">!</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="that-s-it">
+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">That&#8217;s it!</a><a class="headerlink" href="#that-s-it" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>That, in a nutshell, is all there is to know about controllers on the
+command line. Remember that this is just a normal controller, so routing
+and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_remap()</span></tt> works fine.</p>

+<h1>Creating Core System Classes<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-core-system-classes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>Every time CodeIgniter runs there are several base classes that are
+initialized automatically as part of the core framework. It is possible,
+however, to swap any of the core system classes with your own versions
+or even extend the core versions.</p>
+<p><strong>Most users will never have any need to do this, but the option to
+replace or extend them does exist for those who would like to
+significantly alter the CodeIgniter core.</strong></p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">Messing with a core system class has a lot of implications, so
+make sure you know what you are doing before attempting it.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="system-class-list">
+<h2>System Class List<a class="headerlink" href="#system-class-list" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The following is a list of the core system files that are invoked every
+time CodeIgniter runs:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Benchmark</li>
+<li>Config</li>
+<li>Controller</li>
+<li>Exceptions</li>
+<li>Hooks</li>
+<li>Input</li>
+<li>Language</li>
+<li>Loader</li>
+<li>Log</li>

+<div class="section" id="replacing-core-classes">
+<h2>Replacing Core Classes<a class="headerlink" href="#replacing-core-classes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>To use one of your own system classes instead of a default one simply
+place your version inside your local <em>application/core/</em> directory:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">application</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">core</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">some_class</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If this directory does not exist you can create it.</p>
+<p>Any file named identically to one from the list above will be used
+instead of the one normally used.</p>
+<p>Please note that your class must use CI as a prefix. For example, if
+your file is named Input.php the class will be named:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">CI_Input</span> <span class="p">{</span>
+
+<span class="p">}</span>

+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="extending-core-class">
+<h2>Extending Core Class<a class="headerlink" href="#extending-core-class" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If all you need to do is add some functionality to an existing library -
+perhaps add a method or two - then it&#8217;s overkill to replace the entire
+library with your version. In this case it&#8217;s better to simply extend the
+class. Extending a class is nearly identical to replacing a class with a
+couple exceptions:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>The class declaration must extend the parent class.</li>
+<li>Your new class name and filename must be prefixed with MY_ (this
+item is configurable. See below.).</li>
+</ul>
+<p>For example, to extend the native Input class you&#8217;ll create a file named
+application/core/MY_Input.php, and declare your class with:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">MY_Input</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">CI_Input</span> <span class="p">{</span>
+
+<span class="p">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p>If you need to use a constructor in your class make sure you
+extend the parent constructor:</p>
+<div class="last highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">MY_Input</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">CI_Input</span> <span class="p">{</span>
+
+ <span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">__construct</span><span class="p">()</span>
+ <span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="k">parent</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="na">__construct</span><span class="p">();</span>
+ <span class="p">}</span>
+<span class="p">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<p><strong>Tip:</strong> Any functions in your class that are named identically to the
+methods in the parent class will be used instead of the native ones
+(this is known as &#8220;method overriding&#8221;). This allows you to substantially
+alter the CodeIgniter core.</p>
+<p>If you are extending the Controller core class, then be sure to extend
+your new class in your application controller&#8217;s constructors.</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">Welcome</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">MY_Controller</span> <span class="p">{</span>

+<h1>Creating Libraries<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-libraries" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>When we use the term &#8220;Libraries&#8221; we are normally referring to the
+classes that are located in the libraries directory and described in the
+Class Reference of this user guide. In this case, however, we will
+instead describe how you can create your own libraries within your
+application/libraries directory in order to maintain separation between
+your local resources and the global framework resources.</p>
+<p>As an added bonus, CodeIgniter permits your libraries to extend native
+classes if you simply need to add some functionality to an existing
+library. Or you can even replace native libraries just by placing
+identically named versions in your <em>application/libraries</em> directory.</p>
+<p>In summary:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>You can create entirely new libraries.</li>
+<li>You can extend native libraries.</li>
+<li>You can replace native libraries.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The page below explains these three concepts in detail.</p>

+<h2>Utilizing CodeIgniter Resources within Your Library<a class="headerlink" href="#utilizing-codeigniter-resources-within-your-library" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>To access CodeIgniter&#8217;s native resources within your library use the
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_instance()</span></tt> method. This method returns the CodeIgniter super
+object.</p>
+<p>Normally from within your controller methods you will call any of the
+available CodeIgniter methods using the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></tt> construct:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;url&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

+<span class="c1">// etc.</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></tt>, however, only works directly within your controllers, your
+models, or your views. If you would like to use CodeIgniter&#8217;s classes
+from within your own custom classes you can do so as follows:</p>
+<p>First, assign the CodeIgniter object to a variable:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$CI</span> <span class="o">=&amp;</span> <span class="nx">get_instance</span><span class="p">();</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Once you&#8217;ve assigned the object to a variable, you&#8217;ll use that variable
+<em>instead</em> of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></tt>:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$CI</span> <span class="o">=&amp;</span> <span class="nx">get_instance</span><span class="p">();</span>

+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p>You&#8217;ll notice that the above <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_instance()</span></tt> function is being

+</div>
+<p class="last">This is very important. Assigning by reference allows you to use the
+original CodeIgniter object rather than creating a copy of it.</p>
+</div>
+<p>However, since a library is a class, it would be better if you
+take full advantage of the OOP principles. So, in order to
+be able to use the CodeIgniter super-object in all of the class

+<h2>Replacing Native Libraries with Your Versions<a class="headerlink" href="#replacing-native-libraries-with-your-versions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Simply by naming your class files identically to a native library will
+cause CodeIgniter to use it instead of the native one. To use this
+feature you must name the file and the class declaration exactly the
+same as the native library. For example, to replace the native Email
+library you&#8217;ll create a file named <em>application/libraries/Email.php</em>,
+and declare your class with:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">CI_Email</span> <span class="p">{</span>

+<div class="section" id="extending-native-libraries">
+<h2>Extending Native Libraries<a class="headerlink" href="#extending-native-libraries" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If all you need to do is add some functionality to an existing library -
+perhaps add a method or two - then it&#8217;s overkill to replace the entire
+library with your version. In this case it&#8217;s better to simply extend the
+class. Extending a class is nearly identical to replacing a class with a
+couple exceptions:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>The class declaration must extend the parent class.</li>
+<li>Your new class name and filename must be prefixed with MY_ (this
+item is configurable. See below.).</li>
+</ul>
+<p>For example, to extend the native Email class you&#8217;ll create a file named
+<em>application/libraries/MY_Email.php</em>, and declare your class with:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">MY_Email</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">CI_Email</span> <span class="p">{</span>
+
+<span class="p">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If you need to use a constructor in your class make sure you
+extend the parent constructor:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">MY_Email</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">CI_Email</span> <span class="p">{</span>
+
+ <span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">__construct</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$config</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">())</span>
+ <span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="k">parent</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="na">__construct</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$config</span><span class="p">);</span>

+</div>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">Not all of the libraries have the same (or any) parameters

+<h3>Loading Your Sub-class<a class="headerlink" href="#loading-your-sub-class" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>To load your sub-class you&#8217;ll use the standard syntax normally used. DO
+NOT include your prefix. For example, to load the example above, which
+extends the Email class, you will use:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">library</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;email&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Once loaded you will use the class variable as you normally would for
+the class you are extending. In the case of the email class all calls
+will use:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">email</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">some_method</span><span class="p">();</span>

+<p>CodeIgniter was originally developed by <a class="reference external" href="https://ellislab.com/">Rick Ellis</a>
+(CEO of <a class="reference external" href="https://ellislab.com/">EllisLab, Inc.</a>). The framework was written for
+performance in the real world, with many of the class libraries, helpers, and
+sub-systems borrowed from the code-base of <a class="reference external" href="https://ellislab.com/expressionengine">ExpressionEngine</a>.</p>
+<p>It was, for years, developed and maintained by EllisLab, the ExpressionEngine
+Development Team and a group of community members called the Reactor Team.</p>
+<p>In 2014, CodeIgniter was acquired by the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.bcit.ca/">British Columbia Institute of Technology</a> and was then officially announced as a community-maintained
+project.</p>
+<p>Bleeding edge development is spearheaded by the handpicked contributors
+of the Reactor Team.</p>
+<p>A hat tip goes to Ruby on Rails for inspiring us to create a PHP framework, and
+for bringing frameworks into the general consciousness of the web community.</p>

+<h1>Using CodeIgniter Drivers<a class="headerlink" href="#using-codeigniter-drivers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>Drivers are a special type of Library that has a parent class and any
+number of potential child classes. Child classes have access to the
+parent class, but not their siblings. Drivers provide an elegant syntax
+in your <a class="reference internal" href="controllers.html"><em>controllers</em></a> for libraries that benefit
+from or require being broken down into discrete classes.</p>
+<p>Drivers are found in the <em>system/libraries/</em> directory, in their own
+sub-directory which is identically named to the parent library class.
+Also inside that directory is a subdirectory named drivers, which
+contains all of the possible child class files.</p>
+<p>To use a driver you will initialize it within a controller using the
+following initialization method:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">driver</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;class_name&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Where class name is the name of the driver class you want to invoke. For
+example, to load a driver named &#8220;Some_parent&#8221; you would do this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">driver</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;some_parent&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Methods of that class can then be invoked with:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">some_parent</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">some_method</span><span class="p">();</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>The child classes, the drivers themselves, can then be called directly

+<h1>Handling Multiple Environments<a class="headerlink" href="#handling-multiple-environments" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>Developers often desire different system behavior depending on whether
+an application is running in a development or production environment.
+For example, verbose error output is something that would be useful
+while developing an application, but it may also pose a security issue
+when &#8220;live&#8221;.</p>
+<div class="section" id="the-environment-constant">
+<h2>The ENVIRONMENT Constant<a class="headerlink" href="#the-environment-constant" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>By default, CodeIgniter comes with the environment constant set to use
+the value provided in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$_SERVER['CI_ENV']</span></tt>, otherwise defaults to
+&#8216;development&#8217;. At the top of index.php, you will see:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nb">define</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;ENVIRONMENT&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nb">isset</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$_SERVER</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;CI_ENV&#39;</span><span class="p">])</span> <span class="o">?</span> <span class="nv">$_SERVER</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;CI_ENV&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">:</span> <span class="s1">&#39;development&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>This server variable can be set in your .htaccess file, or Apache
+config using <a class="reference external" href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_env.html#setenv">SetEnv</a>.
+Alternative methods are available for nginx and other servers, or you can
+remove this logic entirely and set the constant based on the server&#8217;s IP address.</p>
+<p>In addition to affecting some basic framework behavior (see the next
+section), you may use this constant in your own development to
+differentiate between which environment you are running in.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="effects-on-default-framework-behavior">
+<h2>Effects On Default Framework Behavior<a class="headerlink" href="#effects-on-default-framework-behavior" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>There are some places in the CodeIgniter system where the ENVIRONMENT
+constant is used. This section describes how default framework behavior
+is affected.</p>
+<div class="section" id="error-reporting">
+<h3>Error Reporting<a class="headerlink" href="#error-reporting" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Setting the ENVIRONMENT constant to a value of &#8216;development&#8217; will cause
+all PHP errors to be rendered to the browser when they occur.
+Conversely, setting the constant to &#8216;production&#8217; will disable all error
+output. Disabling error reporting in production is a <a class="reference internal" href="security.html"><em>good security
+practice</em></a>.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="configuration-files">
+<h3>Configuration Files<a class="headerlink" href="#configuration-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Optionally, you can have CodeIgniter load environment-specific
+configuration files. This may be useful for managing things like
+differing API keys across multiple environments. This is described in
+more detail in the environment section of the <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/config.html"><em>Config Class</em></a> documentation.</p>

+<h1>Error Handling<a class="headerlink" href="#error-handling" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>CodeIgniter lets you build error reporting into your applications using
+the functions described below. In addition, it has an error logging
+class that permits error and debugging messages to be saved as text
+files.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">By default, CodeIgniter displays all PHP errors. You might
+wish to change this behavior once your development is complete. You&#8217;ll
+find the error_reporting() function located at the top of your main
+index.php file. Disabling error reporting will NOT prevent log files
+from being written if there are errors.</p>
+</div>
+<p>Unlike most systems in CodeIgniter, the error functions are simple
+procedural interfaces that are available globally throughout the
+application. This approach permits error messages to get triggered
+without having to worry about class/function scoping.</p>
+<p>CodeIgniter also returns a status code whenever a portion of the core
+calls <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">exit()</span></tt>. This exit status code is separate from the HTTP status
+code, and serves as a notice to other processes that may be watching of
+whether the script completed successfully, or if not, what kind of
+problem it encountered that caused it to abort. These values are
+defined in <em>application/config/constants.php</em>. While exit status codes
+are most useful in CLI settings, returning the proper code helps server
+software keep track of your scripts and the health of your application.</p>
+<p>The following functions let you generate errors:</p>
+<dl class="function">
+<dt id="show_error">
+<tt class="descname">show_error</tt><big>(</big><em>$message</em>, <em>$status_code</em>, <em>$heading = 'An Error Was Encountered'</em><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#show_error" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>

+</ul>
+</td>

+<tr class="field-even field"><th class="field-name">Return type:</th><td class="field-body"><p class="first last">void</p>
+</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+<p>This function will display the error message supplied to it using
+the error template appropriate to your execution:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">application</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">views</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">errors</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">html</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">error_general</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>or:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<div>application/views/errors/cli/error_general.php</div></blockquote>
+<p>The optional parameter <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$status_code</span></tt> determines what HTTP status
+code should be sent with the error. If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$status_code</span></tt> is less
+than 100, the HTTP status code will be set to 500, and the exit
+status code will be set to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$status_code</span> <span class="pre">+</span> <span class="pre">EXIT__AUTO_MIN</span></tt>.
+If that value is larger than <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EXIT__AUTO_MAX</span></tt>, or if
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$status_code</span></tt> is 100 or higher, the exit status code will be set

+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EXIT_UNKNOWN_FILE</span></tt>.
+Note that CodeIgniter automatically shows 404 messages if

+<p>CodeIgniter automatically logs any <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">show_404()</span></tt> calls. Setting the

+<p>This function lets you write messages to your log files. You must
+supply one of three &#8220;levels&#8221; in the first parameter, indicating what
+type of message it is (debug, error, info), with the message itself
+in the second parameter.</p>
+<p>Example:</p>

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>There are three message types:</p>
+<ol class="arabic simple">
+<li>Error Messages. These are actual errors, such as PHP errors or
+user errors.</li>
+<li>Debug Messages. These are messages that assist in debugging. For
+example, if a class has been initialized, you could log this as
+debugging info.</li>
+<li>Informational Messages. These are the lowest priority messages,
+simply giving information regarding some process.</li>
+</ol>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">In order for the log file to actually be written, the
+<em>logs/</em> directory must be writable. In addition, you must
+set the &#8220;threshold&#8221; for logging in
+<em>application/config/config.php</em>. You might, for example,
+only want error messages to be logged, and not the other
+two types. If you set it to zero logging will be disabled.</p>

+<h1>Helper Functions<a class="headerlink" href="#helper-functions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>Helpers, as the name suggests, help you with tasks. Each helper file is
+simply a collection of functions in a particular category. There are <strong>URL
+Helpers</strong>, that assist in creating links, there are Form Helpers that help
+you create form elements, <strong>Text Helpers</strong> perform various text formatting
+routines, <strong>Cookie Helpers</strong> set and read cookies, File Helpers help you
+deal with files, etc.</p>
+<p>Unlike most other systems in CodeIgniter, Helpers are not written in an
+Object Oriented format. They are simple, procedural functions. Each
+helper function performs one specific task, with no dependence on other
+functions.</p>
+<p>CodeIgniter does not load Helper Files by default, so the first step in
+using a Helper is to load it. Once loaded, it becomes globally available
+in your <a class="reference internal" href="controllers.html"><em>controller</em></a> and
+<a class="reference internal" href="views.html"><em>views</em></a>.</p>
+<p>Helpers are typically stored in your <strong>system/helpers</strong>, or
+<strong>application/helpers directory</strong>. CodeIgniter will look first in your
+<strong>application/helpers directory</strong>. If the directory does not exist or the
+specified helper is not located there CI will instead look in your
+global <em>system/helpers/</em> directory.</p>
+<div class="section" id="loading-a-helper">
+<h2>Loading a Helper<a class="headerlink" href="#loading-a-helper" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Loading a helper file is quite simple using the following method:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;name&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Where <strong>name</strong> is the file name of the helper, without the .php file
+extension or the &#8220;helper&#8221; part.</p>
+<p>For example, to load the <strong>URL Helper</strong> file, which is named
+<strong>url_helper.php</strong>, you would do this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;url&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>A helper can be loaded anywhere within your controller methods (or
+even within your View files, although that&#8217;s not a good practice), as
+long as you load it before you use it. You can load your helpers in your
+controller constructor so that they become available automatically in
+any function, or you can load a helper in a specific function that needs
+it.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">The Helper loading method above does not return a value, so
+don&#8217;t try to assign it to a variable. Just use it as shown.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="loading-multiple-helpers">
+<h2>Loading Multiple Helpers<a class="headerlink" href="#loading-multiple-helpers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If you need to load more than one helper you can specify them in an
+array, like this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span>
+ <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;helper1&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;helper2&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;helper3&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
+<span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="auto-loading-helpers">
+<h2>Auto-loading Helpers<a class="headerlink" href="#auto-loading-helpers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If you find that you need a particular helper globally throughout your
+application, you can tell CodeIgniter to auto-load it during system
+initialization. This is done by opening the <strong>application/config/autoload.php</strong>
+file and adding the helper to the autoload array.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="using-a-helper">
+<h2>Using a Helper<a class="headerlink" href="#using-a-helper" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Once you&#8217;ve loaded the Helper File containing the function you intend to
+use, you&#8217;ll call it the way you would a standard PHP function.</p>
+<p>For example, to create a link using the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">anchor()</span></tt> function in one of
+your view files you would do this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;?</span><span class="nx">php</span> <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nx">anchor</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;blog/comments&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Click Here&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span><span class="cp">?&gt;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Where &#8220;Click Here&#8221; is the name of the link, and &#8220;blog/comments&#8221; is the
+URI to the controller/method you wish to link to.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="extending-helpers">
+<h2>&#8220;Extending&#8221; Helpers<a class="headerlink" href="#extending-helpers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>To &#8220;extend&#8221; Helpers, create a file in your <strong>application/helpers/</strong> folder
+with an identical name to the existing Helper, but prefixed with <strong>MY_</strong>
+(this item is configurable. See below.).</p>
+<p>If all you need to do is add some functionality to an existing helper -
+perhaps add a function or two, or change how a particular helper
+function operates - then it&#8217;s overkill to replace the entire helper with
+your version. In this case it&#8217;s better to simply &#8220;extend&#8221; the Helper.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">The term &#8220;extend&#8221; is used loosely since Helper functions are
+procedural and discrete and cannot be extended in the traditional
+programmatic sense. Under the hood, this gives you the ability to
+add to or or to replace the functions a Helper provides.</p>
+</div>
+<p>For example, to extend the native <strong>Array Helper</strong> you&#8217;ll create a file
+named <strong>application/helpers/MY_array_helper.php</strong>, and add or override
+functions:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1">// any_in_array() is not in the Array Helper, so it defines a new function</span>
+<span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">any_in_array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$needle</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$haystack</span><span class="p">)</span>
+<span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="nv">$needle</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nb">is_array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$needle</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="o">?</span> <span class="nv">$needle</span> <span class="o">:</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$needle</span><span class="p">);</span>
+
+ <span class="k">foreach</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$needle</span> <span class="k">as</span> <span class="nv">$item</span><span class="p">)</span>
+ <span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="k">if</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">in_array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$item</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$haystack</span><span class="p">))</span>
+ <span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="k">return</span> <span class="k">TRUE</span><span class="p">;</span>

+ <span class="p">}</span>
+
+ <span class="k">return</span> <span class="k">FALSE</span><span class="p">;</span>
+<span class="p">}</span>
+
+<span class="c1">// random_element() is included in Array Helper, so it overrides the native function</span>
+<span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">random_element</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$array</span><span class="p">)</span>
+<span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="nb">shuffle</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$array</span><span class="p">);</span>
+ <span class="k">return</span> <span class="nb">array_pop</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$array</span><span class="p">);</span>

+<div class="section" id="setting-your-own-prefix">
+<h3>Setting Your Own Prefix<a class="headerlink" href="#setting-your-own-prefix" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>The filename prefix for &#8220;extending&#8221; Helpers is the same used to extend
+libraries and core classes. To set your own prefix, open your
+<strong>application/config/config.php</strong> file and look for this item:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$config</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;subclass_prefix&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;MY_&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>

+<h1>Hooks - Extending the Framework Core<a class="headerlink" href="#hooks-extending-the-framework-core" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>CodeIgniter&#8217;s Hooks feature provides a means to tap into and modify the
+inner workings of the framework without hacking the core files. When
+CodeIgniter runs it follows a specific execution process, diagramed in
+the <a class="reference internal" href="../overview/appflow.html"><em>Application Flow</em></a> page. There may be
+instances, however, where you&#8217;d like to cause some action to take place
+at a particular stage in the execution process. For example, you might
+want to run a script right before your controllers get loaded, or right
+after, or you might want to trigger one of your own scripts in some
+other location.</p>
+<div class="section" id="enabling-hooks">
+<h2>Enabling Hooks<a class="headerlink" href="#enabling-hooks" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The hooks feature can be globally enabled/disabled by setting the
+following item in the <strong>application/config/config.php</strong> file:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$config</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;enable_hooks&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">TRUE</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="defining-a-hook">
+<h2>Defining a Hook<a class="headerlink" href="#defining-a-hook" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Hooks are defined in the <strong>application/config/hooks.php</strong> file.
+Each hook is specified as an array with this prototype:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$hook</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;pre_controller&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span>
+ <span class="s1">&#39;class&#39;</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">&#39;MyClass&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span>
+ <span class="s1">&#39;function&#39;</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Myfunction&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span>
+ <span class="s1">&#39;filename&#39;</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Myclass.php&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span>
+ <span class="s1">&#39;filepath&#39;</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">&#39;hooks&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span>
+ <span class="s1">&#39;params&#39;</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;beer&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;wine&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;snacks&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
+<span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
+<p>The array index correlates to the name of the particular hook point you
+want to use. In the above example the hook point is pre_controller. A
+list of hook points is found below. The following items should be
+defined in your associative hook array:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li><strong>class</strong> The name of the class you wish to invoke. If you prefer to
+use a procedural function instead of a class, leave this item blank.</li>
+<li><strong>function</strong> The function (or method) name you wish to call.</li>
+<li><strong>filename</strong> The file name containing your class/function.</li>
+<li><strong>filepath</strong> The name of the directory containing your script.
+Note:
+Your script must be located in a directory INSIDE your <em>application/</em>
+directory, so the file path is relative to that directory. For example,
+if your script is located in <em>application/hooks/</em>, you will simply use
+&#8216;hooks&#8217; as your filepath. If your script is located in
+<em>application/hooks/utilities/</em> you will use &#8216;hooks/utilities&#8217; as your
+filepath. No trailing slash.</li>
+<li><strong>params</strong> Any parameters you wish to pass to your script. This item
+is optional.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>You can also use lambda/anoymous functions (or closures) as hooks, with
+a simpler syntax:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$hook</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;post_controller&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">function</span><span class="p">()</span>
+<span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="cm">/* do something here */</span>
+<span class="p">};</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="multiple-calls-to-the-same-hook">
+<h2>Multiple Calls to the Same Hook<a class="headerlink" href="#multiple-calls-to-the-same-hook" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If want to use the same hook point with more than one script, simply
+make your array declaration multi-dimensional, like this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$hook</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;pre_controller&#39;</span><span class="p">][]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span>

+<span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Notice the brackets after each array index:</p>

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>This permits you to have the same hook point with multiple scripts. The
+order you define your array will be the execution order.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="hook-points">
+<h2>Hook Points<a class="headerlink" href="#hook-points" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The following is a list of available hook points.</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li><strong>pre_system</strong>
+Called very early during system execution. Only the benchmark and
+hooks class have been loaded at this point. No routing or other
+processes have happened.</li>
+<li><strong>pre_controller</strong>
+Called immediately prior to any of your controllers being called.
+All base classes, routing, and security checks have been done.</li>
+<li><strong>post_controller_constructor</strong>
+Called immediately after your controller is instantiated, but prior
+to any method calls happening.</li>
+<li><strong>post_controller</strong>
+Called immediately after your controller is fully executed.</li>
+<li><strong>display_override</strong>
+Overrides the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_display()</span></tt> method, used to send the finalized page
+to the web browser at the end of system execution. This permits you
+to use your own display methodology. Note that you will need to
+reference the CI superobject with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this-&gt;CI</span> <span class="pre">=&amp;</span> <span class="pre">get_instance()</span></tt> and
+then the finalized data will be available by calling
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this-&gt;CI-&gt;output-&gt;get_output()</span></tt>.</li>
+<li><strong>cache_override</strong>
+Enables you to call your own method instead of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_display_cache()</span></tt>
+method in the <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/output.html"><em>Output Library</em></a>. This permits
+you to use your own cache display mechanism.</li>
+<li><strong>post_system</strong>
+Called after the final rendered page is sent to the browser, at the
+end of system execution after the finalized data is sent to the
+browser.</li>

+<p>All of the available libraries are located in your <em>system/libraries/</em>
+directory. In most cases, to use one of these classes involves initializing
+it within a <a class="reference internal" href="controllers.html"><em>controller</em></a> using the following
+initialization method:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">library</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;class_name&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Where &#8216;class_name&#8217; is the name of the class you want to invoke. For
+example, to load the <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/form_validation.html"><em>Form Validation Library</em></a> you would do this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">library</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;form_validation&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Once initialized you can use it as indicated in the user guide page
+corresponding to that class.</p>
+<p>Additionally, multiple libraries can be loaded at the same time by
+passing an array of libraries to the load method.</p>
+<p>Example:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">library</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;email&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;table&#39;</span><span class="p">));</span>

+<h1>Managing your Applications<a class="headerlink" href="#managing-your-applications" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>By default it is assumed that you only intend to use CodeIgniter to
+manage one application, which you will build in your <em>application/</em>
+directory. It is possible, however, to have multiple sets of
+applications that share a single CodeIgniter installation, or even to
+rename or relocate your application directory.</p>
+<div class="section" id="renaming-the-application-directory">
+<h2>Renaming the Application Directory<a class="headerlink" href="#renaming-the-application-directory" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If you would like to rename your application directory you may do so
+as long as you open your main index.php file and set its name using
+the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$application_folder</span></tt> variable:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$application_folder</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;application&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>

+<h2>Relocating your Application Directory<a class="headerlink" href="#relocating-your-application-directory" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>It is possible to move your application directory to a different
+location on your server than your web root. To do so open
+your main index.php and set a <em>full server path</em> in the
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$application_folder</span></tt> variable:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$application_folder</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;/path/to/your/application&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>

+<h2>Running Multiple Applications with one CodeIgniter Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#running-multiple-applications-with-one-codeigniter-installation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If you would like to share a common CodeIgniter installation to manage
+several different applications simply put all of the directories located
+inside your application directory into their own sub-directory.</p>
+<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you want to create two applications, named &#8220;foo&#8221;
+and &#8220;bar&#8221;. You could structure your application directories like this:</p>

+<p>To select a particular application for use requires that you open your
+main index.php file and set the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$application_folder</span></tt> variable. For
+example, to select the &#8220;foo&#8221; application for use you would do this:</p>

+<p>Model classes are stored in your <strong>application/models/</strong> directory.
+They can be nested within sub-directories if you want this type of
+organization.</p>
+<p>The basic prototype for a model class is this:</p>

+<p>Where <strong>Model_name</strong> is the name of your class. Class names <strong>must</strong> have
+the first letter capitalized with the rest of the name lowercase. Make
+sure your class extends the base Model class.</p>
+<p>The file name must match the class name. For example, if this is your class:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">User_model</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">CI_Model</span> <span class="p">{</span>

+<p>Your models will typically be loaded and called from within your
+<a class="reference internal" href="controllers.html"><em>controller</em></a> methods. To load a model you will use
+the following method:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">model</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;model_name&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If your model is located in a sub-directory, include the relative path
+from your models directory. For example, if you have a model located at
+<em>application/models/blog/Queries.php</em> you&#8217;ll load it using:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">model</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;blog/queries&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Once loaded, you will access your model methods using an object with the
+same name as your class:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">model</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;model_name&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If you would like your model assigned to a different object name you can
+specify it via the second parameter of the loading method:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">model</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;model_name&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;foobar&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

+<p>Here is an example of a controller, that loads a model, then serves a

+<h2>Enabling and Disabling Profiler Sections<a class="headerlink" href="#enabling-and-disabling-profiler-sections" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Each section of Profiler data can be enabled or disabled by setting a
+corresponding config variable to TRUE or FALSE. This can be done one of
+two ways. First, you can set application wide defaults with the
+<em>application/config/profiler.php</em> config file.</p>
+<p>Example:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$config</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;config&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">FALSE</span><span class="p">;</span>
+<span class="nv">$config</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;queries&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">FALSE</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>In your controllers, you can override the defaults and config file
+values by calling the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">set_profiler_sections()</span></tt> method of the
+<a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/output.html"><em>Output Library</em></a>:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$sections</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span>
+ <span class="s1">&#39;config&#39;</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="k">TRUE</span><span class="p">,</span>

+<p><a class="reference external" href="http://php.net/">PHP</a> version 5.6 or newer is recommended.</p>
+<p>It should work on 5.3.7 as well, but we strongly advise you NOT to run
+such old versions of PHP, because of potential security and performance
+issues, as well as missing features.</p>
+<p>A database is required for most web application programming.
+Currently supported databases are:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<div><ul class="simple">
+<li>MySQL (5.1+) via the <em>mysql</em> (deprecated), <em>mysqli</em> and <em>pdo</em> drivers</li>
+<li>Oracle via the <em>oci8</em> and <em>pdo</em> drivers</li>
+<li>PostgreSQL via the <em>postgre</em> and <em>pdo</em> drivers</li>
+<li>MS SQL via the <em>mssql</em>, <em>sqlsrv</em> (version 2005 and above only) and <em>pdo</em> drivers</li>
+<li>SQLite via the <em>sqlite</em> (version 2), <em>sqlite3</em> (version 3) and <em>pdo</em> drivers</li>
+<li>CUBRID via the <em>cubrid</em> and <em>pdo</em> drivers</li>
+<li>Interbase/Firebird via the <em>ibase</em> and <em>pdo</em> drivers</li>

+<p>In order to help out, CodeIgniter uses a series of function, method,

+<h2>Controller names<a class="headerlink" href="#controller-names" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

+override them. The following is a list of reserved names. Do not name

+<h1>URI Routing<a class="headerlink" href="#uri-routing" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>Typically there is a one-to-one relationship between a URL string and
+its corresponding controller class/method. The segments in a URI
+normally follow this pattern:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">class</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">function</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">id</span><span class="o">/</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>In some instances, however, you may want to remap this relationship so
+that a different class/method can be called instead of the one
+corresponding to the URL.</p>
+<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you want your URLs to have this prototype:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">product</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="o">/</span>
+<span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">product</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="mi">2</span><span class="o">/</span>
+<span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">product</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="o">/</span>
+<span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">product</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="mi">4</span><span class="o">/</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Normally the second segment of the URL is reserved for the method
+name, but in the example above it instead has a product ID. To
+overcome this, CodeIgniter allows you to remap the URI handler.</p>
+<div class="section" id="setting-your-own-routing-rules">
+<h2>Setting your own routing rules<a class="headerlink" href="#setting-your-own-routing-rules" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Routing rules are defined in your <em>application/config/routes.php</em> file.
+In it you&#8217;ll see an array called <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$route</span></tt> that permits you to specify
+your own routing criteria. Routes can either be specified using wildcards
+or Regular Expressions.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="wildcards">
+<h2>Wildcards<a class="headerlink" href="#wildcards" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>A typical wildcard route might look something like this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;product/:num&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;catalog/product_lookup&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>In a route, the array key contains the URI to be matched, while the
+array value contains the destination it should be re-routed to. In the
+above example, if the literal word &#8220;product&#8221; is found in the first
+segment of the URL, and a number is found in the second segment, the
+&#8220;catalog&#8221; class and the &#8220;product_lookup&#8221; method are instead used.</p>
+<p>You can match literal values or you can use two wildcard types:</p>
+<p><strong>(:num)</strong> will match a segment containing only numbers.
+<strong>(:any)</strong> will match a segment containing any character (except for &#8216;/&#8217;, which is the segment delimiter).</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">Wildcards are actually aliases for regular expressions, with
+<strong>:any</strong> being translated to <strong>[^/]+</strong> and <strong>:num</strong> to <strong>[0-9]+</strong>,
+respectively.</p>
+</div>

+<h2>Regular Expressions<a class="headerlink" href="#regular-expressions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If you prefer you can use regular expressions to define your routing

+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">If you use back-references you must use the dollar syntax

+<p>With regular expressions, you can also catch multiple segments at once.
+For example, if a user accesses a password protected area of your web

+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;login/(.+)&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;auth/login/$1&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>

+<div class="section" id="using-http-verbs-in-routes">
+<h2>Using HTTP verbs in routes<a class="headerlink" href="#using-http-verbs-in-routes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>It is possible to use HTTP verbs (request method) to define your routing rules.
+This is particularly useful when building RESTful applications. You can use standard HTTP
+verbs (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, PATCH) or a custom one such (e.g. PURGE). HTTP verb rules
+are case-insensitive. All you need to do is to add the verb as an array key to your route.
+Example:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;products&#39;</span><span class="p">][</span><span class="s1">&#39;put&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;product/insert&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>In the above example, a PUT request to URI &#8220;products&#8221; would call the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Product::insert()</span></tt>
+controller method.</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;products/(:num)&#39;</span><span class="p">][</span><span class="s1">&#39;DELETE&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;product/delete/$1&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>A DELETE request to URL with &#8220;products&#8221; as first the segment and a number in the second will be
+mapped to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Product::delete()</span></tt> method, passing the numeric value as the first parameter.</p>
+<p>Using HTTP verbs is of course, optional.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="reserved-routes">
+<h2>Reserved Routes<a class="headerlink" href="#reserved-routes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>There are three reserved routes:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;default_controller&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;welcome&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>This route points to the action that should be executed if the URI contains
+no data, which will be the case when people load your root URL.
+The setting accepts a <strong>controller/method</strong> value and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">index()</span></tt> would be
+the default method if you don&#8217;t specify one. In the above example, it is
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Welcome::index()</span></tt> that would be called.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">You can NOT use a directory as a part of this setting!</p>
+</div>
+<p>You are encouraged to always have a default route as otherwise a 404 page
+will appear by default.</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;404_override&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>This route indicates which controller class should be loaded if the
+requested controller is not found. It will override the default 404
+error page. Same per-directory rules as with &#8216;default_controller&#8217;
+apply here as well.</p>
+<p>It won&#8217;t affect to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">show_404()</span></tt> function, which will
+continue loading the default <em>error_404.php</em> file at
+<em>application/views/errors/error_404.php</em>.</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;translate_uri_dashes&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">FALSE</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>As evident by the boolean value, this is not exactly a route. This
+option enables you to automatically replace dashes (&#8216;-&#8216;) with
+underscores in the controller and method URI segments, thus saving you
+additional route entries if you need to do that.
+This is required, because the dash isn&#8217;t a valid class or method name
+character and would cause a fatal error if you try to use it.</p>

+<h2>URI Security<a class="headerlink" href="#uri-security" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>CodeIgniter is fairly restrictive regarding which characters it allows
+in your URI strings in order to help minimize the possibility that
+malicious data can be passed to your application. URIs may only contain
+the following:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Alpha-numeric text (latin characters only)</li>
+<li>Tilde: ~</li>
+<li>Percent sign: %</li>
+<li>Period: .</li>
+<li>Colon: :</li>
+<li>Underscore: _</li>
+<li>Dash: -</li>
+<li>Space</li>
+</ul>

+<div class="section" id="register-globals">
+<h2>Register_globals<a class="headerlink" href="#register-globals" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>During system initialization all global variables that are found to exist
+in the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$_GET</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$_POST</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$_REQUEST</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$_COOKIE</span></tt> are unset.</p>
+<p>The unsetting routine is effectively the same as <em>register_globals = off</em>.</p>

+<div class="section" id="display-errors">
+<h2>display_errors<a class="headerlink" href="#display-errors" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>In production environments, it is typically desirable to &#8220;disable&#8221; PHP&#8217;s
+error reporting by setting the internal <em>display_errors</em> flag to a value
+of 0. This disables native PHP errors from being rendered as output,
+which may potentially contain sensitive information.</p>
+<p>Setting CodeIgniter&#8217;s <strong>ENVIRONMENT</strong> constant in index.php to a value of
+<strong>&#8216;production&#8217;</strong> will turn off these errors. In development mode, it is
+recommended that a value of &#8216;development&#8217; is used. More information
+about differentiating between environments can be found on the
+<a class="reference internal" href="environments.html"><em>Handling Environments</em></a> page.</p>

+<h2>magic_quotes_runtime<a class="headerlink" href="#magic-quotes-runtime" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The <em>magic_quotes_runtime</em> directive is turned off during system
+initialization so that you don&#8217;t have to remove slashes when retrieving
+data from your database.</p>
+<div class="section" id="best-practices">
+<h3>Best Practices<a class="headerlink" href="#best-practices" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Before accepting any data into your application, whether it be POST data
+from a form submission, COOKIE data, URI data, XML-RPC data, or even
+data from the SERVER array, you are encouraged to practice this three
+step approach:</p>
+<ol class="arabic simple">
+<li>Validate the data to ensure it conforms to the correct type, length,
+size, etc.</li>
+<li>Filter the data as if it were tainted.</li>
+<li>Escape the data before submitting it into your database or outputting
+it to a browser.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>CodeIgniter provides the following functions and tips to assist you
+in this process:</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="xss-filtering">
+<h2>XSS Filtering<a class="headerlink" href="#xss-filtering" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>CodeIgniter comes with a Cross Site Scripting filter. This filter
+looks for commonly used techniques to embed malicious JavaScript into
+your data, or other types of code that attempt to hijack cookies or
+do other malicious things. The XSS Filter is described
+<a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/security.html"><em>here</em></a>.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">XSS filtering should <em>only be performed on output</em>. Filtering
+input data may modify the data in undesirable ways, including
+stripping special characters from passwords, which reduces
+security instead of improving it.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="csrf-protection">
+<h2>CSRF protection<a class="headerlink" href="#csrf-protection" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>CSRF stands for Cross-Site Request Forgery, which is the process of an
+attacker tricking their victim into unknowingly submitting a request.</p>
+<p>CodeIgniter provides CSRF protection out of the box, which will get
+automatically triggered for every non-GET HTTP request, but also needs
+you to create your submit forms in a certain way. This is explained in
+the <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/security.html"><em>Security Library</em></a> documentation.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="password-handling">
+<h2>Password handling<a class="headerlink" href="#password-handling" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>It is <em>critical</em> that you handle passwords in your application properly.</p>
+<p>Unfortunately, many developers don&#8217;t know how to do that, and the web is
+full of outdated or otherwise wrongful advices, which doesn&#8217;t help.</p>
+<p>We would like to give you a list of combined do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts to help you
+with that. Please read below.</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p class="first">DO NOT store passwords in plain-text format.</p>
+<p>Always <strong>hash</strong> your passwords.</p>
+</li>
+<li><p class="first">DO NOT use Base64 or similar encoding for storing passwords.</p>
+<p>This is as good as storing them in plain-text. Really. Do <strong>hashing</strong>,
+not <em>encoding</em>.</p>
+<p>Encoding, and encryption too, are two-way processes. Passwords are
+secrets that must only be known to their owner, and thus must work
+only in one direction. Hashing does that - there&#8217;s <em>no</em> un-hashing or
+de-hashing, but there is decoding and decryption.</p>
+</li>
+<li><p class="first">DO NOT use weak or broken hashing algorithms like MD5 or SHA1.</p>
+<p>These algorithms are old, proven to be flawed, and not designed for
+password hashing in the first place.</p>
+<p>Also, DON&#8217;T invent your own algorithms.</p>
+<p>Only use strong password hashing algorithms like BCrypt, which is used
+in PHP&#8217;s own <a class="reference external" href="http://php.net/password">Password Hashing</a> functions.</p>
+<p>Please use them, even if you&#8217;re not running PHP 5.5+, CodeIgniter
+provides them for you.</p>
+</li>
+<li><p class="first">DO NOT ever display or send a password in plain-text format!</p>
+<p>Even to the password&#8217;s owner, if you need a &#8220;Forgotten password&#8221;
+feature, just randomly generate a new, one-time (this is also important)
+password and send that instead.</p>
+</li>
+<li><p class="first">DO NOT put unnecessary limits on your users&#8217; passwords.</p>
+<p>If you&#8217;re using a hashing algorithm other than BCrypt (which has a limit
+of 72 characters), you should set a relatively high limit on password
+lengths in order to mitigate DoS attacks - say, 1024 characters.</p>
+<p>Other than that however, there&#8217;s no point in forcing a rule that a
+password can only be up to a number of characters, or that it can&#8217;t
+contain a certain set of special characters.</p>
+<p>Not only does this <strong>reduce</strong> security instead of improving it, but
+there&#8217;s literally no reason to do it. No technical limitations and
+no (practical) storage constraints apply once you&#8217;ve hashed them, none!</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="validate-input-data">
+<h2>Validate input data<a class="headerlink" href="#validate-input-data" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>CodeIgniter has a <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/form_validation.html"><em>Form Validation Library</em></a> that assists you in
+validating, filtering, and prepping your data.</p>
+<p>Even if that doesn&#8217;t work for your use case however, be sure to always
+validate and sanitize all input data. For example, if you expect a numeric
+string for an input variable, you can check for that with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">is_numeric()</span></tt>
+or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ctype_digit()</span></tt>. Always try to narrow down your checks to a certain
+pattern.</p>
+<p>Have it in mind that this includes not only <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$_POST</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$_GET</span></tt>
+variables, but also cookies, the user-agent string and basically
+<em>all data that is not created directly by your own code</em>.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="escape-all-data-before-database-insertion">
+<h2>Escape all data before database insertion<a class="headerlink" href="#escape-all-data-before-database-insertion" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Never insert information into your database without escaping it.
+Please see the section that discusses <a class="reference internal" href="../database/queries.html"><em>database queries</em></a> for more information.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="hide-your-files">
+<h2>Hide your files<a class="headerlink" href="#hide-your-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Another good security practice is to only leave your <em>index.php</em>
+and &#8220;assets&#8221; (e.g. .js, css and image files) under your server&#8217;s
+<em>webroot</em> directory (most commonly named &#8220;htdocs/&#8221;). These are
+the only files that you would need to be accessible from the web.</p>
+<p>Allowing your visitors to see anything else would potentially
+allow them to access sensitive data, execute scripts, etc.</p>
+<p>If you&#8217;re not allowed to do that, you can try using a .htaccess
+file to restrict access to those resources.</p>
+<p>CodeIgniter will have an index.html file in all of its
+directories in an attempt to hide some of this data, but have
+it in mind that this is not enough to prevent a serious
+attacker.</p>

+<p>No whitespace can precede the opening PHP tag or follow the closing PHP

+<p>CodeIgniter recommends PHP 5.6 or newer to be used, but it should be
+compatible with PHP 5.3.7. Your code must either be compatible with this
+requirement, provide a suitable fallback, or be an optional feature that
+dies quietly without affecting a user&#8217;s application.</p>
+<p>Additionally, do not use PHP functions that require non-default libraries

+<p>Use tabs for whitespace in your code, not spaces. This may seem like a
+small thing, but using tabs instead of whitespace allows the developer
+looking at your code to have indentation at levels that they prefer and
+customize in whatever application they use. And as a side benefit, it

+<h1>CodeIgniter URLs<a class="headerlink" href="#codeigniter-urls" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>By default, URLs in CodeIgniter are designed to be search-engine and
+human friendly. Rather than using the standard &#8220;query string&#8221; approach
+to URLs that is synonymous with dynamic systems, CodeIgniter uses a
+<strong>segment-based</strong> approach:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">news</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">article</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">my_article</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">Query string URLs can be optionally enabled, as described
+below.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="uri-segments">
+<h2>URI Segments<a class="headerlink" href="#uri-segments" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The segments in the URL, in following with the Model-View-Controller
+approach, usually represent:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">class</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">function</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">ID</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<ol class="arabic simple">
+<li>The first segment represents the controller <strong>class</strong> that should be
+invoked.</li>
+<li>The second segment represents the class <strong>function</strong>, or method, that
+should be called.</li>
+<li>The third, and any additional segments, represent the ID and any
+variables that will be passed to the controller.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/uri.html"><em>URI Library</em></a> and the <a class="reference internal" href="../helpers/url_helper.html"><em>URL Helper</em></a> contain functions that make it easy to work
+with your URI data. In addition, your URLs can be remapped using the
+<a class="reference internal" href="routing.html"><em>URI Routing</em></a> feature for more flexibility.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="removing-the-index-php-file">
+<h2>Removing the index.php file<a class="headerlink" href="#removing-the-index-php-file" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>By default, the <strong>index.php</strong> file will be included in your URLs:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">index</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">news</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">article</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">my_article</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If your Apache server has <em>mod_rewrite</em> enabled, you can easily remove this
+file by using a .htaccess file with some simple rules. Here is an example
+of such a file, using the &#8220;negative&#8221; method in which everything is redirected
+except the specified items:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>RewriteEngine On
+RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
+RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>In the above example, any HTTP request other than those for existing
+directories and existing files is treated as a request for your index.php file.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">These specific rules might not work for all server configurations.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">Make sure to also exclude from the above rule any assets that you
+might need to be accessible from the outside world.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="adding-a-url-suffix">
+<h2>Adding a URL Suffix<a class="headerlink" href="#adding-a-url-suffix" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>In your <strong>config/config.php</strong> file you can specify a suffix that will be
+added to all URLs generated by CodeIgniter. For example, if a URL is
+this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">index</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">products</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">view</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">shoes</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>You can optionally add a suffix, like <strong>.html,</strong> making the page appear to
+be of a certain type:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">index</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">products</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">view</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">shoes</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">html</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="enabling-query-strings">
+<h2>Enabling Query Strings<a class="headerlink" href="#enabling-query-strings" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>In some cases you might prefer to use query strings URLs:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">index</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span><span class="o">?</span><span class="nx">c</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nx">products</span><span class="o">&amp;</span><span class="nx">m</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nx">view</span><span class="o">&amp;</span><span class="nx">id</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">345</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>CodeIgniter optionally supports this capability, which can be enabled in
+your <strong>application/config.php</strong> file. If you open your config file you&#8217;ll
+see these items:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$config</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;enable_query_strings&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">FALSE</span><span class="p">;</span>
+<span class="nv">$config</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;controller_trigger&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;c&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If you change &#8220;enable_query_strings&#8221; to TRUE this feature will become
+active. Your controllers and functions will then be accessible using the
+&#8220;trigger&#8221; words you&#8217;ve set to invoke your controllers and methods:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">index</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span><span class="o">?</span><span class="nx">c</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nx">controller</span><span class="o">&amp;</span><span class="nx">m</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nx">method</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">If you are using query strings you will have to build your own
+URLs, rather than utilizing the URL helpers (and other helpers
+that generate URLs, like some of the form helpers) as these are
+designed to work with segment based URLs.</p>

+<h1>Views<a class="headerlink" href="#views" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>A view 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 class="reference internal" href="controllers.html"><em>controller</em></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 class="reference internal" href="controllers.html"><em>Controllers</em></a> page you should do so before
+continuing.</p>
+<p>Using the example controller you created in the
+<a class="reference internal" href="controllers.html"><em>controller</em></a> page, let&#8217;s add a view to it.</p>
+<div class="section" id="creating-a-view">
+<h2>Creating a View<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-view" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Using your text editor, create a file called blogview.php, and put this

+<p>CodeIgniter is an Application Development Framework - a toolkit - for
+people who build web sites using PHP. Its goal is to enable you to
+develop projects much faster than you could if you were writing code
+from scratch, by providing a rich set of libraries for commonly needed
+tasks, as well as a simple interface and logical structure to access
+these libraries. CodeIgniter lets you creatively focus on your project
+by minimizing the amount of code needed for a given task.</p>
+<div class="section" id="who-is-codeigniter-for">
+<h2>Who is CodeIgniter For?<a class="headerlink" href="#who-is-codeigniter-for" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>CodeIgniter is right for you if:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>You want a framework with a small footprint.</li>
+<li>You need exceptional performance.</li>
+<li>You need broad compatibility with standard hosting accounts that run
+a variety of PHP versions and configurations.</li>
+<li>You want a framework that requires nearly zero configuration.</li>
+<li>You want a framework that does not require you to use the command
+line.</li>
+<li>You want a framework that does not require you to adhere to
+restrictive coding rules.</li>
+<li>You are not interested in large-scale monolithic libraries like PEAR.</li>
+<li>You do not want to be forced to learn a templating language (although
+a template parser is optionally available if you desire one).</li>
+<li>You eschew complexity, favoring simple solutions.</li>
+<li>You need clear, thorough documentation.</li>
