+
+
+<h1>Benchmarking Class</h1>
+
+<p>Code Igniter has a Benchmarking class that is always active, enabling the time difference between any
+two marked points to be calculated.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
+
+
+<p>In addition, the benchmark is always started the moment the framework is
+invoked, and ended by the output class right before sending the final view to the browser, enabling a very accurate
+timing of the entire system execution to be shown.</p>
+
+<h2>Using the Benchmark</h2>
+
+<p>The Benchmark class can be used within your <a href="../general/controllers.html">controllers</a>, <a href="../general/views.html">views</a>, or your <a href="../general/models.html">Models</a>. The process for usage is this:
+
+<ol>
+<li>Mark a start point</li>
+<li>Mark an end point</li>
+<li>Run the "elapsed time" function to view the results</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Here's an example using real code:</p>
+
+<code>$this->benchmark->mark('start');<br />
+<br />
+// Some code happens here<br />
+<br />
+$this->benchmark->mark('end');<br />
+<br />
+echo $this->benchmark->elapsed_time('start', 'end');</code>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> The words "start" and "end" are arbitrary. They are simply words used to set two markers. You can
+use any words you want, and you can set multiple sets of markers. Consider this example:</p>
+
+<code>$this->benchmark->mark('dog');<br />
+<br />
+// Some code happens here<br />
+<br />
+$this->benchmark->mark('cat');<br />
+<br />
+// More code happens here<br />
+<br />
+$this->benchmark->mark('bird');<br />
+<br />
+echo $this->benchmark->elapsed_time('dog', 'cat');<br />
+echo $this->benchmark->elapsed_time('cat', 'bird');<br />
+echo $this->benchmark->elapsed_time('dog', 'bird');</code>
+
+
+<h2>Displaying Total Execution Time</h2>
+
+<p>If you would like to display the total elapsed time from the moment Code Igniter starts to the moment the final output
+is sent to the browser, simply place this in one of your view templates:</p>
+
+<code><?=$this->benchmark->elapsed_time();?></code>
+
+<p>You'll notice that it's the same function used in the examples above to calculate the time between two point, except you are
+<strong>not</strong> using any parameters. When the parameters are absent, Code Igniter does not stop the benchmark until right before the final
+output is sent to the browser. It doesn't matter where you use the function call, the timer will continue to run until the very end.</p>
+
+<p>An alternate way to show your elapsed time in your view files is to use this pseudo-variable, if you prefer not to use the pure PHP:</p>
+<code>{elapsed_time}</code>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> If you want to benchmark anything within your controller
+functions you must set your own start/end points.</p>
+
+<h2>Displaying Memory Consumption</h2>
+
+<p>If your PHP installation is configured with --enable-memory-limit, you can display the amount of memory consumed by the entire
+system using the following code in one of your view file:</p>
+
+<code><?=$this->benchmark->memory_usage();?></code>
+<p>Note: This function can only be used in your view files. The consumpiton will reflect the total memory used by the entire app.</p>
+
+<p>An alternate way to show your memory usage in your view files is to use this pseudo-variable, if you prefer not to use the pure PHP:</p>
+<code>{memory_usage}</code>

+<h1>Calendaring Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Calendar class enables you to dynamically create calendars. Your calendars can be formatted through the use of a calendar
+template, allowing 100% control over every aspect of its design. In addition, you can pass data to your calendar cells.</p>
+
+<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
+
+<p>Like most other classes in Code Igniter, the Calendar class is initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('calendar');</code>
+<p>Once loaded, the Calendar object will be available using: <dfn>$this->calendar</dfn></p>
+
+
+<h2>Displaying a Calendar</h2>
+
+<p>Here is a very simple example showing how you can display a calendar:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('calendar');<br />
+<br />
+echo $this->calendar->generate();</code>
+
+<p>The above code will generate a calendar for the current month/year based on your server time.
+To show a calendar for a specific month and year you will pass this information to the calendar generating function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('calendar');<br />
+<br />
+echo $this->calendar->generate(<kbd>2006</kbd>, <kbd>6</kbd>);</code>
+
+<p>The above code will generate a calendar showing the month of June in 2006. The first parameter specifies the year, the second parameter specifies the month.</p>
+
+<h2>Passing Data to your Calendar Cells</h2>
+
+<p>To add data to your calendar cells involves creating an associative array in which the keys correspond to the days
+you wish to populate and the array value contains the data. The array is passed to the third parameter of the calendar
+generating function. Consider this example:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('calendar');<br />
+<br />
+$data = array(<br />
+ 3 => 'http://your-site.com/news/article/2006/03/',<br />
+ 7 => 'http://your-site.com/news/article/2006/07/',<br />
+ 13 => 'http://your-site.com/news/article/2006/13/',<br />
+ 26 => 'http://your-site.com/news/article/2006/26/'<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+echo $this->calendar->generate(<kbd>2006</kbd>, <kbd>6</kbd>, <var>$data</var>);</code>
+
+<p>Using the above example, day numbers 3, 7, 13, and 26 will become links pointing to the URLs you've provided.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> By default it is assumed that your array will contain links.
+In the section that explains the calendar template below you'll see how you can customize
+how data passed to your cells is handled so you can pass different types of information.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Setting Display Preferences</h2>
+
+<p>There are seven preferences you can set to control various aspects of the calendar. Preferences are set using an initialization
+function similar to other classes. Here is an example:
+
+
+<code>$this->load->library('calendar');<br />
+<br />
+$prefs = array (<br />
+ 'start_day' => 'saturday',<br />
+ 'month_type' => 'long',<br />
+ 'day_type' => 'short'<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+$this->calendar->initialize($prefs);<br />
+<br />
+echo $this->calendar->generate();</code>
+
+<p>The above code would start the calendar on saturday, use the "long" month heading, and the "short" day names. More information
+regarding preferences below.</p>
+
+
+
+
+<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" style="width:100%" class="tableborder">
+<tr>
+<th>Preference</th>
+<th>Default Value</th>
+<th>Options</th>
+<th>Description</th>
+</tr><tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>template</strong></td><td class="td">None</td><td class="td">None</td><td class="td">A string containing your calendar template. See the template section below.</td>
+</tr><tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>local_time</strong></td><td class="td">time()</td><td class="td">None</td><td class="td">A Unix timestamp corresponding to the current time.</td>
+</tr><tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>start_day</strong></td><td class="td">sunday</td><td class="td">Any week day (sunday, monday, tuesday, etc.)</td><td class="td">Sets the day of the week the calendar should start on.</td>
+</tr><tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>month_type</strong></td><td class="td">long</td><td class="td">long, short</td><td class="td">Determines what version of the month name to use in the header. long = January, short = Jan.</td>
+</tr><tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>day_type</strong></td><td class="td">abr</td><td class="td">long, short, abr</td><td class="td">Determines what version of the weekday names to use in the column headers. long = Sunday, short = Sun, abr = Su.</td>
+</tr><tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>show_next_prev</strong></td><td class="td">FALSE</td><td class="td">TRUE/FALSE (boolean)</td><td class="td">Determines whether to display links allowing you to toggle to next/previous months. See information on this feature below.</td>
+</tr><tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>next_prev_url</strong></td><td class="td">None</td><td class="td">A URL</td><td class="td">Sets the basepath used in the next/previous calendar links.</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+
+
+
+<h2>Creating a Calendar Template</h2>
+
+<p>By creating a calendar template you have 100% control over the design of your calendar. Each component of your
+calendar will be placed within a pair of pseudo-variables as shown here:</p>
+
+
+<code>$this->load->library('calendar');<br /><br />
+$prefs['template'] = '<br /><br />
+ <dfn>{table_open}</dfn><var><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"></var><dfn>{/table_open}</dfn><br />
+<br />
+ <dfn>{heading_row_start}</dfn><var><tr></var><dfn>{/heading_row_start}</dfn><br />
+<br />
+ <dfn>{heading_previous_cell}</dfn><var><th><a href="</var><kbd>{previous_url}</kbd><var>">&lt;&lt;</a></th></var><dfn>{/heading_previous_cell}</dfn><br />

+ <dfn>{heading_next_cell}</dfn><var><th><a href="</var><kbd>{next_url}</kbd><var>">&gt;&gt;</a></th></var><dfn>{/heading_next_cell}</dfn><br />
+<br />
+ <dfn>{heading_row_end}</dfn><var></tr></var><dfn>{/heading_row_end}</dfn><br />
+<br />
+ <dfn>{week_row_start}</dfn><var><tr></var><dfn>{/week_row_start}</dfn><br />
+ <dfn>{week_day_cell}</dfn><var><td></var><dfn>{week_day}</dfn><var></td></var><dfn>{/week_day_cell}</dfn><br />
+ <dfn>{week_row_end}</dfn><var></tr></var><dfn>{/week_row_end}</dfn><br />
+<br />
+ <dfn>{cal_row_start}</dfn><var><tr></var><dfn>{/cal_row_start}</dfn><br />
+ <dfn>{cal_cell_start}</dfn><var><td></var><dfn>{/cal_cell_start}</dfn><br />
+<br />
+ <dfn>{cal_cell_content}</dfn><var><a href="</var><kbd>{content}</kbd><var>"></var><kbd>{day}</kbd><var></a></var><dfn>{/cal_cell_content}</dfn><br />
+ <dfn>{cal_cell_content_today}</dfn><var><div class="highlight"><a href="</var><kbd>{content}</kbd><var>"></var><kbd>{day}</kbd><var></a></div></var><dfn>{/cal_cell_content_today}</dfn><br />
+<br />
+ <dfn>{cal_cell_no_content}</dfn><var></var><kbd>{day}</kbd><var></var><dfn>{/cal_cell_no_content}</dfn><br />
+ <dfn>{cal_cell_no_content_today}</dfn><var><div class="highlight"></var><kbd>{day}</kbd><var></div></var><dfn>{/cal_cell_no_content_today}</dfn><br />

+ <dfn>{cal_row_end}</dfn><var><tr></var><dfn>{/cal_row_end}</dfn><br />
+<br />
+ <dfn>{table_close}</dfn><var></table></var><dfn>{/table_close}</dfn><br />
+';<br />
+<br />
+$this->calendar->initialize($prefs);<br />
+<br />
+echo $this->calendar->generate();</code>
+
+
+
+<h2>Showing Next/Previous Month Links</h2>
+
+<p>To allow your calendar to dynamically increment/decrement via the next/previous links requires that you set up your calendar
+code similar to this example:</p>
+
+
+<code>$this->load->library('calendar');<br />
+<br />
+$prefs = array (<br />
+ 'show_next_prev' => TRUE,<br />
+ 'next_prev_url' => 'http://www.your-site.com/index.php/calendar/show/'<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+$this->calendar->initialize($prefs);<br />
+<br />
+echo $this->calendar->generate(<var>$this->uri->segment(3)</var>, <var>$this->uri->segment(4)</var>);</code>
+
+<p>You'll notice a few things about the above example:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>You must set the "show_next_prev" to TRUE.</li>
+<li>You must supply the URL to the controller containing your calendar in the "next_prev_url" preference.</li>
+<li>You must supply the "year" and "month" to the calendar generating function via the URI segments where they appear (Note: The calendar class automatically adds the year/month to the base URL you provide.).</li>
+</ul>
+

+<h1>Config Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Config class provides a means to retrieve configuration preferences. These preferences can
+come from the default config file (<samp>application/config/config.php</samp>) or from your own custom config files.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Anatomy of a Config File</h2>
+
+<p>By default, Code Igniter has a one primary config file, located at <samp>application/config/config.php</samp>. If you open the file using
+your text editor you'll see that config items are stored in an array called <var>$config</var>.</p>
+
+<p>You can add your own config items to
+this file, or if you prefer to keep your configuration items separate (assuming you even need config items),
+simply create your own file and save it in <dfn>config</dfn> folder.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you do create your own config files use the same format as the primary one, storing your items in
+an array called <var>$config</var>. Code Igniter will intelligently manage these files so there will be no conflict even though
+the array has the same name (assuming an array index is not named the same as another).</p>
+
+<h2>Loading a Config File</h2>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> Code Igniter automatically loads the primary config file (<samp>application/config/config.php</samp>),
+so you will only need to load a config file if you have created your own.</p>
+
+<p>There are two ways to load a config file:</p>
+
+<ol><li><strong>Manual Loading</strong>
+
+<p>To load one of your custom config files you will use the following function within the <a href="../general/controllers.html">controller</a> that needs it:</p>
+
+<code>$this->config->load('<var>filename</var>');</code>
+
+<p>Where <var>filename</var> is the name of your config file, without the .php file extension.</p>
+
+</li>
+<li><strong>Auto-loading</strong></li>
+
+<p>If you find that you need a particular config file globally, you can have it loaded automatically by the system. To do this,
+open the <strong>autoload.php</strong> file, located at <samp>application/config/autoload.php</samp>, and add your config file as
+indicated in the file.</p>
+</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h2>Fetching Config Items</h2>
+
+<p>To retrive an item from your config file, use the following function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->config->item('<var>item name</var>');</code>
+
+<p>Where <var>item name</var> is the $config array index you want to retrieve. For example, to fetch your language choice you'll do this:</p>
+
+<code>$lang = $this->config->item('language');</code>
+
+<p>The function returns FALSE (boolean) if the item you are trying to fetch does not exist.</p>
+
+<h2>Setting a Config Item</h2>
+
+<p>If you would like to dynamically set a config item or change an existing one, you can so so using:</p>
+
+<code>$this->config->set_item('<var>item_name</var>', '<var>item_value</var>');</code>
+
+<p>Where <var>item_name</var> is the $config array index you want to change, and <var>item_value</var> is its value.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Helper Functions</h2>
+
+<p>The config class has the following helper functions:</p>
+
+<h2>$this->config->site_url();</h2>
+<p>This function retrieves the URL to your site, along with the "index" value you've specified in the config file.</p>
+
+<h2>$this->config->system_url();</h2>
+<p>This function retrieves the URL to your <dfn>system folder</dfn>.</p>

+<h1>Active Record Class</h1>
+
+
+<p>Code Igniter uses a modified version of the Active Record Database Pattern.
+This pattern allows information to be retrieved, inserted, and updated in your database with minimal scripting.
+In some cases only one or two lines of code are necessary to perform a database action.
+Code Igniter does not require that each database table be its own class file. It instead provides a more simplified interface.</p>
+
+<p>Beyond simplicity, a major benefit to using the Active Record features is that it allows you to create database independent applications, since the query syntax
+is generated by each database adapter. It also allows for safer queries, since the values are escaped automatically by the system.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> If you intend to write your own queries you can disable this class in your database config file, allowing the core database library and adapter to utilize fewer resources.</p>

+<h1>Selecting Data</h1>
+
+<p>The following functions allow you to build SQL <strong>SELECT</strong> statements.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Note: If you are using PHP 5 you can use method chaining for more compact syntax. This is described at the end of the page.</strong></p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->get();</h2>
+
+<p>Runs the selection query and returns the result. Can be used by itself to retrieve all records from a table:</p>
+
+<code>$query = $this->db->get('mytable');<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: SELECT * FROM mytable</code>
+
+<p>The second and third parameters enable you do set a limit and offset clause:</p>
+
+<code>$query = $this->db->get('mytable', 10, 20);<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: SELECT * FROM mytable LIMIT 20, 10 (in MySQL. Other databases have slightly different syntax)</code>
+
+
+
+<p>You'll notice that the above function is assigned to a variable named <kbd>$query</kbd>, which can be used to show the results:</p>
+
+<code>$query = $this->db->get('mytable');<br />
+<br />
+foreach ($query->result() as $row)<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $row->title;<br />
+}</code>
+
+<p>Please visit the <a href="results.html">result functions</a> page for a full discussion regarding result generation.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->getwhere();</h2>
+
+<p>Identical to the above function except that it permits you to add a "where" clause in the second parameter,
+instead of using the db->where() function:</p>
+
+<code>$query = $this->db->getwhere('mytable', array(id => $id), $limit, $offset);</code>
+
+<p>Please read the about the where function below for more information.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->select();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to write the SELECT portion of your query:</p>
+
+<code>
+$this->db->select('title, content, date');<br />
+<br />
+$query = $this->db->get('mytable');<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: SELECT title, content, date FROM mytable</code>
+
+<p><strong>Note: If you are selecting all (*) from a table you do not need to use this function. When omitted, Code Igniter assumes you wish to SELECT *</strong></p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->from();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to write the FROM portion of your query:</p>
+
+<code>
+$this->db->select('title, content, date');<br />
+$this->db->from('mytable');<br />
+<br />
+$query = $this->db->get();<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: SELECT title, content, date FROM mytable</code>
+
+<p><strong>Note: As shown earlier, the FROM portion of your query can be specified in the <dfn>$this->db->get()</dfn> function, so use whichever method
+you prefer.</strong></p>
+
+<h2>$this->db->join();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to write the JOIN portion of your query:</p>
+
+<code>
+$this->db->select('*');<br />
+$this->db->from('blogs');<br />
+$this->db->join('comments', 'comments.id = blogs.id');<br />
+<br />
+$query = $this->db->get();<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: <br />
+// SELECT * FROM blogs<br />
+// JOIN comments ON comments.id = blogs.id<br />
+</code>
+
+<p>Multiple function calls can be made if you need several joins in one query.</p>
+
+<p>If you need something other than a natural JOIN you can specify it via the third parameter of the function.
+Options are: left, right, outer, inner, left outer, and right outer.</p>
+
+<code>
+$this->db->join('comments', 'comments.id = blogs.id', <strong>'left'</strong>);<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: LEFT JOIN comments ON comments.id = blogs.id</code>
+
+
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->where();</h2>
+<p>This function enables you to set <strong>WHERE</strong> clauses using one of four methods:</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> All values passed to this function are escaped automatically, producing safer queries.</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li><strong>Simple key/value method:</strong>
+
+ <code>$this->db->where('name', $name);
+ <br /><br />// Produces: WHERE name = 'Joe'
+ </code>
+
+ <p>Notice that the equal sign is added for you.</p>
+
+ <p>If you use multiple function calls they will be chained together with <var>AND</var> between them:</p>
+
+ <code>$this->db->where('name', $name);<br />
+ $this->db->where('title', $title);<br />
+ $this->db->where('status', $status);
+ <br /><br />// WHERE = 'Joe' AND title = 'boss' AND status = 'active'
+ </code>
+
+
+ </li>
+
+ <li><strong>Custom key/value method:</strong>
+
+ <p>You can include an operator in the first parameter in order to to control the comparison:</p>
+
+ <code>$this->db->where('name !=', $name);<br />
+ $this->db->where('id <', $id);
+ <br /><br />// Produces: WHERE name != 'Joe' AND id < 45
+ </code>
+
+
+
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Associative array method:</strong>
+
+
+ <code>
+ $array = array('name' => $name, 'title' => $title, 'status' => $status);<br /><br />
+
+ $this->db->where($array);
+ <br /><br />// Produces: WHERE name = 'Joe' AND title = 'boss' AND status = 'active'
+ </code>
+
+ <p>You can include your own operators using this method as well:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ $array = array('name !=' => $name, 'id <' => $id, 'date >' => $date);<br /><br />
+
+ $this->db->where($array);</code>
+
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Custom string:</strong>
+
+ <p>You can write your own clauses manually:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ $where = "name='Joe' AND status='boss' OR status='active'";<br /><br />
+ $this->db->where($where);</code>
+
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->orwhere();</h2>
+<p>This function is identical to the one above, except that multiple instances are joined by OR:</p>
+
+<code>
+$this->db->where('name !=', $name);<br />
+$this->db->orwhere('id >', $id);
+<br /><br />// Produces: WHERE name != 'Joe' OR id > 50
+</code>
+
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->like();</h2>
+<p>This function enables you to generate <strong>LIKE</strong> clauses, useful for doing searches.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> All values passed to this function are escaped automatically.</p>
+
+
+<ol>
+ <li><strong>Simple key/value method:</strong>
+
+ <code>$this->db->like('title', $match);
+ <br /><br />// Produces: WHERE title LIKE '%match%'
+ </code>
+
+ <p>If you use multiple function calls they will be chained together with <var>AND</var> between them:</p>
+
+ <code>$this->db->like('title', $match);<br />
+ $this->db->like('body', $match);
+ <br /><br />// WHERE title LIKE '%match%' AND body LIKE '%match%'
+ </code>
+
+ </li>
+
+ <li><strong>Associative array method:</strong>
+
+ <code>
+ $array = array('title' => $match, 'page1' => $match, 'page2' => $match);<br /><br />
+
+ $this->db->like($array);
+ <br /><br />// WHERE title LIKE '%match%' AND page1 LIKE '%match%' AND page2 LIKE '%match%'
+ </code>
+
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->orlike();</h2>
+<p>This function is identical to the one above, except that multiple instances are joined by OR:</p>
+
+<code>
+$this->db->like('title', $match);<br />
+$this->db->orlike('body', $match);
+<br /><br />// WHERE title LIKE '%match%' OR body LIKE '%match%'
+</code>
+
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->groupby();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to write the GROUP BY portion of your query:</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->groupby("title");
+<br /><br />// Produces: GROUP BY title
+</code>
+
+<p>You can also pass an array of multiple values as well:</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->groupby(array("title", "date");
+<br /><br />// Produces: GROUP BY title, date
+</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->having();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to write the HAVING portion of your query:</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->having('user_id = 45');
+<br /><br />// Produces: HAVING 'user_id = 45'
+</code>
+
+<p>You can also pass an array of multiple values as well:</p>
+
+
+<code>$this->db->having(array('title =' => 'My Title', 'id <' => $id));
+<br /><br />// Produces: HAVING title = 'My Title', 'id < 45'
+</code>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->orderby();</h2>
+<p>Lets you set an ORDER BY clause. The first parameter contains the name of the column you would like to order by.
+The second parameter lets you set the direction of the result. Options are <kbd>asc</kbd> or <kbd>desc</kbd></p>
+
+<code>$this->db->orderby("title", "desc");
+<br /><br />// Produces: ORDER BY title DESC
+</code>
+
+<p>You can also pass your own string in the first parameter:</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->orderby('title desc, name asc');
+<br /><br />// Produces: ORDER BY title DESC, name ASC
+</code>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->limit();</h2>
+<p>Lets you limit the number of rows you would like returned by the query:
+
+<code>
+$this->db->limit(10);<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: LIMIT 10</code>
+
+
+<p>The second parameter lets you set a result offset.</p>
+
+<code>
+$this->db->limit(10, 20);<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: LIMIT 20, 10 (in MySQL. Other databases have slightly different syntax)</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->count_all();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to determine the number of rows in a particular table. Submit the table name in the first parameter. Example:</p>
+
+<code>echo $this->db->count_all('<var>my_table</var>');<br />
+<br />
+// Produces an integer, like 25</code>
+
+
+
+
+<a name="insert"> </a>
+<h1>Inserting Data</h1>
+
+<h2>$this->db->insert();</h2>
+<p>Generates an insert string based on the data you supply, and runs the query. You can either pass an
+<strong>array</strong> or an <strong>object</strong> to the function. Here is an example using an array:</p>
+
+<code>
+$data = array(<br />
+ 'title' => $title,<br />
+ 'name' => $name,<br />
+ 'date' => $date<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+$this->db->insert('mytable', $data);
+<br /><br />
+// Produces: INSERT INTO mytable (title, name, date) VALUES ('{$title}', '{$name}', '{$date}')</code>
+
+<p>The first parameter will contain the table name, the second is an associative array of values.</p>
+
+<p>Here is an example using an object:</p>
+
+<code>
+/*<br />
+ class Myclass {<br />
+ var = $title = 'My Title';<br />
+ var = $content = 'My Content';<br />
+ var = $date = 'My Date';<br />
+ }<br />
+*/<br />
+<br />
+$object = new Myclass;<br />
+<br />
+$this->db->insert('mytable', $object);
+<br /><br />
+// Produces: INSERT INTO mytable (title, name, date) VALUES ('{$title}', '{$name}', '{$date}')</code>
+
+<p>The first parameter will contain the table name, the second is an associative array of values.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> All values are escaped automatically producing safer queries.</p>
+
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->set();</h2>
+<p>This function enables you to set values for <dfn>inserts</dfn> or <dfn>updates</dfn>.</p>
+
+<p><strong>It can be used instead of passing a data array directly to the insert or update functions:</strong> </p>
+
+<code>$this->db->set('name', $name);
+<br />
+$this->db->insert('mytable');
+<br /><br />
+// Produces: INSERT INTO mytable (name) VALUES ('{$name}')</code>
+
+<p>If you use multiple function called they will be assembled properly based on whether you are doing an insert or an update:</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->set('name', $name);<br />
+$this->db->set('title', $title);<br />
+$this->db->set('status', $status);<br />
+$this->db->insert('mytable');
+</code>
+
+<p>You can also pass an associative array to this function:</p>
+
+<code>
+$array = array('name' => $name, 'title' => $title, 'status' => $status);<br /><br />
+
+$this->db->set($array);<br />
+$this->db->insert('mytable');
+</code>
+
+<p>Or an object:</p>
+
+
+<code>
+/*<br />
+ class Myclass {<br />
+ var = $title = 'My Title';<br />
+ var = $content = 'My Content';<br />
+ var = $date = 'My Date';<br />
+ }<br />
+*/<br />
+<br />
+$object = new Myclass;<br />
+<br />
+$this->db->set($object);<br />
+$this->db->insert('mytable');
+</code>
+
+
+
+<a name="update"> </a>
+<h1>Updating Data</h1>
+
+<h2>$this->db->update();</h2>
+<p>Generates an update string and runs the query based on the data you supply. You can pass an
+<strong>array</strong> or an <strong>object</strong> to the function. Here is an example using
+an array:</p>
+
+<code>
+$data = array(<br />
+ 'title' => $title,<br />
+ 'name' => $name,<br />
+ 'date' => $date<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+$this->db->where('id', $id);<br />
+$this->db->update('mytable', $data);
+<br /><br />
+// Produces:<br />
+// UPDATE mytable <br />
+// SET title = '{$title}', name = '{$name}', date = '{$date}'<br />
+// WHERE id = $id</code>
+
+<p>Or you can supply an object:</p>
+
+<code>
+/*<br />
+ class Myclass {<br />
+ var = $title = 'My Title';<br />
+ var = $content = 'My Content';<br />
+ var = $date = 'My Date';<br />
+ }<br />
+*/<br />
+<br />
+$object = new Myclass;<br />
+<br />
+$this->db->where('id', $id);<br />
+$this->db->update('mytable', $object, $where);
+<br /><br />
+// Produces:<br />
+// UPDATE mytable <br />
+// SET title = '{$title}', name = '{$name}', date = '{$date}'<br />
+// WHERE id = $id</code>
+
+
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> All values are escaped automatically producing safer queries.</p>
+
+<p>You'll notice the use of the <dfn>$this->db->where()</dfn> function, enabling you to set the WHERE clause.
+You can optionally pass this information directly into the update function as a string:</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->update('mytable', $data, "id = 4");</code>
+
+<p>Or as an array:</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->update('mytable', $data, array('id' => $id));</code>
+
+<p>You may also use the <dfn>$this->db->set()</dfn> function described above when performing updates.</p>
+
+
+<a name="delete"> </a>
+<h1>Deleting Data</h1>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->delete();</h2>
+<p>Generates a delete SQL string and runs the query.</p>
+
+<code>
+$this->db->delete('mytable', array('id', $id));
+<br /><br />
+// Produces:<br />
+// DELETE FROM mytable <br />
+// WHERE id = $id</code>
+
+<p>The first parameter is the table name, the second is the where clause. You can also use the <dfn>where()</dfn> or <dfn>orwhere()</dfn> functions instead of passing
+the data to the second parameter of the function:
+
+<code>
+$this->db->where('id', $id);<br />
+$this->db->delete('mytable');
+<br /><br />
+// Produces:<br />
+// DELETE FROM mytable <br />
+// WHERE id = $id</code>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> All values are escaped automatically producing safer queries.</p>
+
+
+<a name="chaining"> </a>
+<h1>Method Chaining</h1>
+
+<p>Method chaining allows you to simplify your syntax by connecting multiple functions. Consider this example:</p>
+
+<code>
+<dfn>$this->db</dfn><kbd>-></kbd><var>select</var>('title')<kbd>-></kbd><var>from</var>('mytable')<kbd>-></kbd><var>where</var>('id', $id)<kbd>-></kbd><var>limit</var>(10, 20);<br />
+<br />
+$query = $this->db->get();</code>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Method chaining only works with PHP 5.</p>

+<h1>Custom Function Calls</h1>
+
+<h2>$this->db->call_function();</h2>
+
+<p>This function enables you to call PHP database functions that are not natively included in Code Igniter, in a platform independent manner.
+For example, lets say you want to call the <dfn>mysql_get_client_info()</dfn> function, which is <strong>not</strong> natively supported
+by Code Igniter. You could do so like this:
+</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->call_function('<var>get_client_info</var>');</code>
+
+<p>You must supply the name of the function, <strong>without</strong> the <var>mysql_</var> prefix, in the first parameter. The prefix is added
+automatically based on which database driver is currently being used. This permits you to run the same function on different database platforms.
+Obviously not all function calls are identical between platforms, so there are limits to how useful this function can be in terms of portability.</p>
+
+<p>Any parameters needed by the function you are calling will be added to the second parameter.</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->call_function('<var>some_function</var>', $param1, $param2, etc..);</code>
+
+
+<p>Often, you will either need to supply a database connection ID or a database result ID. The connection ID can be accessed using:</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->conn_id;</code>
+
+<p>The result ID can be accessed from within your result object, like this:</p>
+
+<code>$query = $this->db->query("SOME QUERY");<br />
+<br />
+<var>$query->result_id;</var></code>

+
+<h1>Database Configuration</h1>
+
+<p>Code Igniter has a config file that lets you store your database connection values (username, password, database name, etc.).
+The config file is located at:
+
+<p><kbd>application/config/database.php</kbd></p>
+
+<p>The config settings are stored in a multi-dimensional array with this prototype:</p>
+
+<code>$db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost";<br />
+$db['default']['username'] = "root";<br />
+$db['default']['password'] = "";<br />
+$db['default']['database'] = "database_name";<br />
+$db['default']['dbdriver'] = "mysql";<br />
+$db['default']['dbprefix'] = "";<br />
+$db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE;<br />
+$db['default']['db_debug'] = FALSE;<br />
+$db['default']['active_r'] = TRUE;</code>
+
+<p>The reason we use a multi-dimensional array rather than a more simple one is to permit you to optionally store
+multiple sets of connection values. If, for example, you run multiple environments (development, production, test, etc.)
+under a single installation, you can set up a connection group for each, then switch between groups as needed.
+For example, to set up a "test" environment you would do this:</p>
+
+<code>$db['test']['hostname'] = "localhost";<br />
+$db['test']['username'] = "root";<br />
+$db['test']['password'] = "";<br />
+$db['test']['database'] = "database_name";<br />
+$db['test']['dbdriver'] = "mysql";<br />
+$db['test']['dbprefix'] = "";<br />
+$db['test']['pconnect'] = TRUE;<br />
+$db['test']['db_debug'] = FALSE;<br />
+$db['test']['active_r'] = TRUE;</code>
+
+
+<p>Then, to globally tell the system to use that group you would set this variable located in the config file:</p>
+
+<code>$active_group = "test";</code>
+
+<p>Note: The name "test" is arbitrary. It can be anything you want. By default we've used the word "default"
+for the primary connection, but it too can be renamed to something more relevant to your project.</p>
+
+<h3>Explanation of Values:</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li><strong>hostname</strong> - The hostname of your database server. Often this is "localhost".</li>
+<li><strong>username</strong> - The username used to connect to the database.</li>
+<li><strong>password</strong> - The password used to connect to the database.</li>
+<li><strong>database</strong> - The name of the database you want to connect to.</li>
+<li><strong>dbdriver</strong> - The database type. ie: mysql, postgre, obdc, etc. Must be specified in lower case.</li>
+<li><strong>dbprefix</strong> - An optional table prefix which will added to the table name when running <a href="active_record.html">Active Record</a> queries. This permits multiple Code Igniter installations to share one database.</li>
+<li><strong>pconnect</strong> - TRUE/FALSE (boolean) - Whether to use a persistent connection.</li>
+<li><strong>db_debug</strong> - TRUE/FALSE (boolean) - Whether database errors should be displayed.</li>
+<li><strong>active_r</strong> - TRUE/FALSE (boolean) - Whether to load the <a href="active_record.html">Active Record Class</a>. If you are not using the active record class you can have it omitted when the database classes are initialized in order to utilize less resources.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Depending on what database platform you are using (MySQL, Postgre, etc.)
+not all values will be needed. For example, when using SQLite you will not need to supply a username or password, and
+the database name will be the path to your database file. The information above assumes you are using MySQL.</p>

+
+<h1>Connecting to your Database</h1>
+
+<p>There are two ways to connect to a database:</p>
+
+<h2>Automatically Connecting</h2>
+
+<p>The "auto connect" feature will load and instantiate the database class with every page load.
+To enable "auto connecting", add the word <var>database</var> to the core array, as indicated in the following file:</p>
+
+<p><kbd>application/config/autoload.php</kbd></p>
+
+<h2>Manually Connecting</h2>
+
+<p>If only some of your pages require database connectivity you can manually connect to your database by adding this
+line of code in any function where it is needed, or in your class constructor to make the database
+available globally in that class.</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->database();</code>
+
+<p class="important">If the above function does <strong>not</strong> contain any information in the first parameter it will connect
+to the group specified in your database config file. For most people, this is the preferred method of use.</p>
+
+
+<p>The first parameter of this function can <strong>optionally</strong> be used to specify a particular database group
+from your config file, or you can even submit connection values for a database that is not specified in your config file.
+Examples:</p>
+
+<p>To choose a specific group from your config file you can do this:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->database('<samp>group_name</samp>');</code>
+
+<p>Where <samp>group_name</samp> is the name of the connection group from your config file.</p>
+
+
+<p>To connect manually to a desired database you can pass an array of values:</p>
+
+<code>$config['hostname'] = "localhost";<br />
+$config['username'] = "myusername";<br />
+$config['password'] = "mypassword";<br />
+$config['database'] = "mydatabase";<br />
+$config['dbdriver'] = "mysql";<br />
+$config['dbprefix'] = "";<br />
+$config['pconnect'] = FALSE;<br />
+$config['db_debug'] = TRUE;<br />
+$config['active_r'] = TRUE;<br />
+<br />
+$this->load->database(<samp>$config</samp>);</code>
+
+<p>For information on each of these values please see the <a href="configuration.html">configuration page</a>.
+
+<p>Or you can submit your database values as a Data Source Name. DSNs must have this prototype:
+
+<code>$dsn = 'dbdriver://username:password@hostname/database';<br />
+<br />
+$this->load->database('<samp>$dsn</samp>');</code>
+
+<p>Note that if you use a DSN you will not be able to specify some of the default values like you can if you use a connection array.</p>
+
+
+
+
+<h2>Connecting to Multiple Databases</h2>
+
+<p>If you need to connect to more than one database simultaneously you can do so as follows:</p>
+
+
+<code>$DB1 = $this->load->database('group_one', TRUE);<br />
+$DB2 = $this->load->database('group_two', TRUE);
+</code>
+
+<p>Note: Change the words "group_one" and "group_two" to the specific group names you are connecting to (or
+you can pass the connection values as indicated above).</p>
+
+<p>By setting the second parameter to TRUE (boolean) the function will return the database object.</p>
+
+<div class="important">
+<p>When you connect this way, you will use your object name to issue commands rather than the syntax used throughout this guide. In other words, rather than issuing commands with:</p>
+
+<p>$this->db->query();<br />$this->db->result();<br /> etc...</p>
+
+<p>You will instead use:</p>
+
+<p>$DB1->query();<br />$DB1->result();<br /> etc...</p>

+<h1>Database Quick Start: Example Code</h1>
+
+<p>The following page contains example code showing how the database class is used. For complete details please
+read the individual pages describing each function.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Initializing the Database Class</h2>
+
+<p>The following code loads and initializes the database class based on your <a href="configuration.html">configuration</a> settings:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->database();</code>
+
+<p>Once loaded the class is ready to be used as described below.</p>
+
+<p>Note: If all your pages require database access you can connect automatically. See the <a href="connecting.html">connecting</a> page for details.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Standard Query With Multiple Results (Object Version)</h2>
+
+<code>$query = $this->db->query('SELECT name, title, email FROM my_table');<br />
+<br />
+foreach ($query->result() as $row)<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $row->title;<br />
+ echo $row->name;<br />
+ echo $row->email;<br />
+}<br />
+<br />
+echo 'Total Results: ' . $query->num_rows();
+</code>
+
+<p>The above <dfn>result()</dfn> function returns an array of <strong>objects</strong>. Example: $row->title</p>
+
+
+<h2>Standard Query With Multiple Results (Array Version)</h2>
+
+<code>$query = $this->db->query('SELECT name, title, email FROM my_table');<br />
+<br />
+foreach ($query->result_array() as $row)<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $row['title'];<br />
+ echo $row['name'];<br />
+ echo $row['email'];<br />
+}</code>
+
+<p>The above <dfn>result_array()</dfn> function returns an array of standard array indexes. Example: $row['title']</p>
+
+
+<h2>Standard Query With Single Result</h2>
+
+<code>$query = $this->db->query('SELECT name FROM my_table LIMIT 1');<br />
+<br />
+$row = $query->row();<br />
+echo $row->name;<br />
+</code>
+
+
+<h2>Standard Insert</h2>
+
+<code>
+$sql = "INSERT INTO mytable (title, name) <br />
+ VALUES (".$this->db->escape($title).", ".$this->db->escape($name).")";<br />
+<br />
+$this->db->query($sql);<br />
+<br />
+echo $this->db->affected_rows();
+</code>
+
+
+
+
+<h2>Active Record Query</h2>
+
+<p>The <a href="active_record.html">Active Record Pattern</a> gives you a simplified means of retrieving data:</p>
+
+<code>
+$query = $this->db->get('table_name');<br />
+<br />
+foreach ($query->result() as $row)<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $row->title;<br />
+}</code>
+
+
+<h2>Active Record Insert</h2>
+
+<code>
+$data = array(<br />
+ 'title' => $title,<br />
+ 'name' => $name,<br />
+ 'date' => $date<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+$this->db->insert('mytable', $data);
+<br /><br />
+// Produces: INSERT INTO mytable (title, name, date) VALUES ('{$title}', '{$name}', '{$date}')</code>

+<h1>Field Data</h1>
+
+
+<h2>Retrieving Field Names</h2>
+<p>Sometimes it's helpful to gather the field names.</p>
+
+<h2>$this->db->field_names();</h2>
+<p>Returns an array containing the field names. You must supply the table name to the function:</p>
+
+<code>
+$fields = $this->db->field_names('table_name');<br /><br />
+
+foreach ($fields as $field)<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $field;<br />
+}
+</code>
+
+
+
+<h2>Retrieving Field MetaData</h2>
+<p>Sometimes it's helpful to gather the field names or other metadata, like the column type, max length, etc.</p>
+
+<h2>$this->db->field_data();</h2>
+<p>Returns an array of objects containing field information.</p>
+
+<p class="important">Note: Not all databases provide meta-data.</p>
+
+<p>Usage example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$fields = $this->db->field_data('table_name');<br /><br />
+
+foreach ($fields as $field)<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $field->name;<br />
+ echo $field->type;<br />
+ echo $field->max_length;<br />
+ echo $field->primary_key;<br />
+}
+</code>
+
+<p>If you have run a query already you can use the result oject instead of supplying the table name:</p>
+
+<code>
+$query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");<br />
+$fields = $query->field_data();
+</code>
+
+
+<p>The following data is available from this function if supported by your database:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>name - column name</li>
+<li>max_length - maximum length of the column</li>
+<li>primary_key - 1 if the column is a primary key</li>
+<li>type - the type of the column</li>

+
+
+<h1>Queries</h1>
+
+<p>To submit a query, use the following function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->db->query('YOUR QUERY HERE');</code>
+
+<p>The <dfn>query()</dfn> function returns a database result <strong>object</strong>
+which you can use to <a href="results.html">show your results</a>. You will typically assign the query to your own variable, like this:</p>
+
+<code><var>$query</var> = $this->db->query('YOUR QUERY HERE');</code>
+
+
+<h2>Escaping Queries</h2>
+
+<p>It's a very good security practice to escape your data before sumbiting it into your database.
+Code Igniter has two functions that help you do this:</p>
+
+<ol>
+</li>
+<li><strong>$this->db->escape()</strong> This function determines the data type so that it
+can escape only string data. It also automatically adds single quotes around the data so you don't have to:
+
+<code>$sql = "INSERT INTO table (title) VALUES(".$this->db->escape($title).")";</code>
+
+
+<li><strong>$this->db->escape_str()</strong> This function escapes the data passed to it, regardless of type.
+Most of the time you'll use the above function rather then this one. Use the function like this:
+
+<code>$sql = "INSERT INTO table (title) VALUES('".$this->db->escape_str($title)."')";</code>
+
+
+</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+
+<h1><br />Query Bindings</h1>
+
+
+<p>Bindings enable you to simplify your query syntax by letting the system put the queries together for you. Consider the following example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$sql = "SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id = <var>?</var> AND status = <var>?</var> AND author = <var>?</var>";
+<br /><br />
+$this->db->query($sql, array(3, 'live', 'Rick'));
+</code>
+
+<p>The question marks in the query are automatically replaced with the values in the array in the second parameter of the query function.</p>
+<p class="important">The secondary benefit of using binds is that the values are automatically escaped, producing safer queries. You don't have to remember to manually escape data; the engine does it automatically for you.</p>
+
+
+
+<h1><br />Query Helper Functions</h1>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->last_query();</h2>
+
+<p>Returns the last query that was run (the query string, not the result). Example:</p>
+
+<code>$str = $this->db->last_query();<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: SELECT * FROM sometable....
+</code>
+
+
+<p>The following two functions help simplify the process of writing database INSERTs and UPDATEs.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->insert_string(); </h2>
+<p>This function simplifies the process of writing database inserts. It returns a correctly formatted SQL insert string. Example:</p>
+
+<code>$data = array('name' => $name, 'email' => $email, 'url' => $url);<br />
+<br />
+$str = $this->db->insert_string('table_name', $data);
+</code>
+
+<p>The first parameter is the table name, the second is an associative array with the data to be inserted. The above example produces:</p>
+<code>INSERT INTO table_name (name, email, url) VALUES ('Rick', 'rick@your-site.com', 'www.your-site.com')</code>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->update_string(); </h2>
+<p>This function simplifies the process of writing database updates. It returns a correctly formatted SQL update string. Example:</p>
+
+<code>$data = array('name' => $name, 'email' => $email, 'url' => $url);<br />
+<br />
+$where = "author_id = 1 AND status = 'active'";
+<br /><br />
+$str = $this->db->update_string('table_name', $data, $where);
+</code>
+
+<p>The first parameter is the table name, the second is an associative array with the data to be inserted, and the third parameter is the "where" clause. The above example produces:</p>
+<code> UPDATE exp_weblog SET name = 'Rick', email = 'rick@your-site.com', url = 'www.your-site.com' WHERE author_id = 1 AND status = 'active'</code>

+
+
+<h1>Query Results</h1>
+
+
+<p>There are several ways to generate query results:</p>
+
+ <h2>result()</h2>
+
+ <p>This function returns the query result as an array of <strong>objects</strong>, or <strong>FALSE</strong> on failure.
+
+ Typically you'll use this in a foreach loop, like this:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");<br />
+ <br />
+ foreach ($query->result() as $row)<br />
+ {<br />
+ echo $row->title;<br />
+ echo $row->name;<br />
+ echo $row->body;<br />
+ }</code>
+
+ <p>If you run queries that might <strong>not</strong> produce a result, you are encouraged to test the result first:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");<br />
+ <br />
+ if ($query->num_rows() > 0)<br />
+ {<br />
+ foreach ($query->result() as $row)<br />
+ {<br />
+ echo $row->title;<br />
+ echo $row->name;<br />
+ echo $row->body;<br />
+ }<br />
+ }
+ </code>
+
+ <h2>result_array()</h2>
+
+ <p>This function returns the query result as a pure array, or FALSE on failure. Typically you'll use this in a foreach loop, like this:</p>
+ <code>
+ $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");<br />
+ <br />
+ foreach ($query->result_array() as $row)<br />
+ {<br />
+ echo $row['title'];<br />
+ echo $row['name'];<br />
+ echo $row['body'];<br />
+ }</code>
+
+
+ <h2>row()</h2>
+
+ <p>This function returns a single result row. If your query has more than one row, it returns only the first row.
+ The result is returned as an <strong>object</strong>. Here's a usage example:</p>
+ <code>
+ $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");<br />
+ <br />
+ if ($query->num_rows() > 0)<br />
+ {<br />
+ $row = $query->row();
+ <br /><br />
+ echo $row->title;<br />
+ echo $row->name;<br />
+ echo $row->body;<br />
+ }
+ </code>
+
+ <p>If you want a specific row returned you can submit the row number as a digit in the first parameter:
+
+ <code>$row = $query->row(<dfn>5</dfn>);</code>
+
+
+ <h2>row_array()</h2>
+
+ <p>Identical to the above <var>row()</var> function, except it returns an array. Example:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");<br />
+ <br />
+ if ($query->num_rows() > 0)<br />
+ {<br />
+ $row = $query->row_array();
+ <br /><br />
+ echo $row['title'];<br />
+ echo $row['name'];<br />
+ echo $row['body'];<br />
+ }
+ </code>
+
+
+ <p>If you want a specific row returned you can submit the row number as a digit in the first parameter:
+
+ <code>$row = $query->row_array(<dfn>5</dfn>);</code>
+
+
+ <p>In addition, you can walk forward/backwards/first/last through your results using these variations:</p>
+
+<p>
+ <strong>$row = $query->first_row()</strong><br />
+ <strong>$row = $query->last_row()</strong><br />
+ <strong>$row = $query->next_row()</strong><br />
+ <strong>$row = $query->previous_row()</strong>
+</p>
+
+<p>By default they return an object unless you put the word "array" in the parameter:</p>
+
+<p>
+ <strong>$row = $query->first_row('array')</strong><br />
+ <strong>$row = $query->last_row('array')</strong><br />
+ <strong>$row = $query->next_row('array')</strong><br />
+ <strong>$row = $query->previous_row('array')</strong>
+</p>
+
+
+<h1><br />Query Result Helpers</h1>
+
+<p>The following functions provide useful information when dealing with query results.</p>
+
+<h2>$query->num_rows()</h2>

+
+<code>$query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM my_table');<br /><br />
+echo $query->num_rows();
+</code>
+
+<h2>$query->num_fields()</h2>
+<p>The number of FIELDS returned by the query. Make sure to call the function using your query result object:</p>
+
+<code>$query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM my_table');<br /><br />
+echo $query->num_fields();
+</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->insert_id()</h2>
+<p>The insert ID number when performing database inserts.</p>
+
+<h2>$this->db->affected_rows()</h2>
+<p>Displays the number of affected rows, when doing "write" type queries (insert, update, etc.).</p>
+</p>Note: In MySQL "DELETE FROM TABLE" returns 0 affected rows. The database class has a small hack that allows it to return the
+correct number of affected rows. By default this hack is enabled but it can be turned off in the database driver file.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->db->version()</h2>
+<p>Outputs the database version you are running:</p>
+
+<code>echo $this->db->version();</code>

+<h1>Email Class</h1>
+
+<p>Code Igniter's robust Email Class supports the following features:</p>
+
+
+<ul>
+<li>Multiple Protocols: Mail, Sendmail, and SMTP</li>
+<li>Multiple recipients</li>
+<li>CC and BCCs</li>
+<li>HTML or Plaintext email</li>
+<li>Attachments</li>
+<li>Word wrapping</li>
+<li>Priorities</li>
+<li>BCC Batch Mode, enabling large email lists to be broken into small BCC batches.</li>
+<li>Email Debugging tools</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2>Sending Email</h2>
+
+<p>Sending email is not only simple, but you can configure it on the fly or set your preferences in a config file.</p>
+
+<p>Here is a basic example demonstrating how you might send email. Note: This example assumes you are sending the email from one of your
+<a href="../general/controllers.html">controllers</a>.</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('email');<br />
+<br />
+$this->email->from('your@your-site.com', 'Your Name');<br />
+$this->email->to('someone@some-site.com'); <br />
+$this->email->cc('another@another-site.com'); <br />
+$this->email->bcc('them@their-site.com'); <br />
+<br />
+$this->email->subject('Email Test');<br />
+$this->email->message('Testing the email class.'); <br />
+<br />
+$this->email->send();<br />
+<br />
+echo $this->email->print_debugger();</code>
+
+
+
+
+<h2>Setting Email Preferences</h2>
+
+<p>There are 17 different preferences available to tailor how your email messages are sent. You can either set them manually
+as described here, or automatically via preferences stored in your config file, described below:</p>
+
+<p>Preferences are set by passing an array of preference values to the email <dfn>initialize</dfn> function. Here is an example of how you might set some preferences:</p>
+
+<code>$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';<br />
+$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';<br />
+$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';<br />
+$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;<br />
+<br />
+$this->email->initialize($config);</code>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> Most of the preferences have default values that will be used if you do not set them.</p
+
+<h3>Setting Email Preferences in your Config File</h3>
+
+<p>If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can instead put them into a config file.
+Simply create a new file called the <var>email.php</var>, add the <var>$config</var>
+array in that file. Then save the file at <var>config/email.php</var> and it will be used automatically. You
+will NOT need to use the <dfn>$this->email->initialize()</dfn> function if you save your preferences in a config file.</p>
+
+
+
+
+<h2>Email Preferences</h2>
+
+<p>The following is a list of all the preferences that can be set when sending email.</p>
+
+

+
+<h2>Email Function Reference</h2>
+
+<h3>$this->email->from()</h3>
+<p>Sets the email address and name of the person sending the email:</p>
+<code>$this->email->from('<var>you@your-site.com</var>', '<var>Your Name</var>');</code>
+
+<h3>$this->email->reply_to()</h3>
+<p>Sets the reply-to address. If the information is not provided the information in the "from" function is used. Example:</p>
+<code>$this->email->reply_to('<var>you@your-site.com</var>', '<var>Your Name</var>');</code>
+
+
+<h3>$this->email->to()</h3>
+<p>Sets the email address(s) of the recipient(s). Can be a single email, a comma-delimited list or an array:</p>
+
+<code>$this->email->to('<var>someone@some-site.com</var>');</code>
+<code>$this->email->to('<var>one@some-site.com</var>, <var>two@some-site.com</var>, <var>three@some-site.com</var>');</code>
+
+<code>$list = array('<var>one@some-site.com</var>, <var>two@some-site.com</var>, <var>three@some-site.com</var>');<br /><br />
+$this->email->to('<var>$list</var>');</code>
+
+<h3>$this->email->cc()</h3>
+<p>Sets the CC email address(s). Just like the "to", can be a single email, a comma-delimited list or an array.</p>
+
+<h3>$this->email->bcc()</h3>
+<p>Sets the BCC email address(s). Just like the "to", can be a single email, a comma-delimited list or an array.</p>
+
+
+<h3>$this->email->subject()</h3>
+<p>Sets the email subject:</p>
+<code>$this->email->subject('<var>This is my subject</var>');</code>
+
+<h3>$this->email->message()</h3>
+<p>Sets the email message body:</p>
+<code>$this->email->message('<var>This is my message</var>');</code>
+
+<h3>$this->email->alt_message()</h3>
+<p>Sets the alternative email message body:</p>
+<code>$this->email->alt_message('<var>This is the alternative message</var>');</code>
+
+<p>This is an optional message string which can be used if you send HTML formatted email. It lets you specify an alternative
+message with no HTML formatting which is added to the header string for people who do not accept HTML email.
+If you do not set your own message Code Igniter will extract the message from your HTML email and strip the tags.</p>
+
+
+
+<h3>$this->email->clear()</h3>
+<p>Initializes all the email variables to an empty state. This function is intended for use if you run the email sending function
+in a loop, permitting the data to be reset between cycles.</p>
+<code>foreach ($list as $name => $address)<br />
+{<br />
+ $this->email->clear();<br /><br />
+
+ $this->email->to($address);<br />
+ $this->email->from('your@your-site.com');<br />
+ $this->email->subject('Here is your info '.$name);<br />
+ $this->email->message('Hi '.$name.' Here is the info you requested.');<br />
+ $this->email->send();<br />
+}</code>
+
+
+<h3>$this->email->send()</h3>
+<p>The Email sending function. Returns boolean TRUE or FALSE based on success for failure, enabling it to be used
+conditionally.</p>
+
+
+<h3>$this->email->attach()</h3>
+<p>Enables you to send an attachment. Put the file path/name in the first parameter. Note: Use a file path, not a URL.
+For multiple attachments use the function multiple times. For example:</p>
+
+<code>$this->email->attach('/path/to/photo1.jpg');<br />
+$this->email->attach('/path/to/photo2.jpg');<br />
+$this->email->attach('/path/to/photo3.jpg');<br />
+<br />
+$this->email->send();</code>
+
+
+<h3>$this->email->print_debugger()</h3>
+<p>Returns a string containing any server messages, the email headers, and the email messsage. Useful for debugging.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Overriding Word Wrapping</h2>
+
+<p>If you have word wrapping enabled (recommended to comply with RFC 822) and you have a very long link in your email it can
+get wrapped too, causing it to become un-clickable by the person receiving it. Code Igniter lets you manually override
+word wrapping within part of your message like this:
+
+<code>The text of your email that<br />
+gets wrapped normally.<br />
+<br />
+<var>{unwrap}</var>http://www.some-site.com/a_long_link_that_should_not_be_wrapped.html<var>{/unwrap}</var><br />
+<br />
+More text that will be<br />
+wrapped normally.</code>
+
+<p>Place the item you do not want word-wrappd between: <var>{unwrap}</var> <var>{/unwrap}</var>

+<h1>Encrypt Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Encrypt Class provides two-way data encryption. It uses a scheme that pre-compiles
+the message using a randomly hashed bitwise XOR encoding scheme, which is then encrypted using
+the Mcrypt library. If Mcrypt is not available on your server the encoded message will
+still provide a reasonable degree of security for encrypted sessions or other such "light" purposes.
+If Mcrypt is available, you'll effectively end up with a double-encrypted message string, which should
+provide a very high degree of security.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Setting your Key</h2>
+
+<p>A <em>key</em> is a piece of information that controls the cryptographic process and permits an encrypted string to be decoded.
+In fact, the key you chose will provide the <strong>only</strong> means to decode data that was encrypted with that key,
+so not only must you chose the key carefully, you must must never change it if you intend use it for persistent data.</p>
+
+<p>It goes without saying that you should guard your key carefully.
+Should someone gain access to your key, the data will be easily decoded. If your server is not totally under your control
+it's impossible to ensure key security so you may want to think carefully before using it for anything
+that requires high security, like storing credit card numbers.</p>
+
+<p>To take maximum advantage of the encryption algorithm, your key should be 32 characters in length (128 bits).
+The key should be as random a string as you can concoct, with numbers and uppercase and lowercase letters.
+Your key should <strong>not</strong> be a simple text string. In order to be cryptographically secure it
+needs to be as random as possible.</p>
+
+<p>Your key can be either stored in your <dfn>application/config/config.php</dfn>, or you can design your own
+storage mechanism and pass the key dynamically when encoding/decoding.</p>
+
+<p>To save your key to your <dfn>application/config/config.php</dfn>, open the file and set:</p>
+<code>$config['encryption_key'] = "YOUR KEY";</code>

+<p>It's important for you to know that the encoded messages the encryption function generates will be approximately 2.6 times longer than the original
+message. For example, if you encrypt the string "my super secret data", which is 21 characters in length, you'll end up
+with an encoded string that is roughly 55 characters (we say "roughly" because the encoded string length increments in
+64 bit clusters, so it's not exactly linear). Keep this information in mind when selecting your data storage mechanism. Cookies,
+for example, can only hold 4K of information.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
+
+<p>Like most other classes in Code Igniter, the Encrypt class is initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('encrypt');</code>
+<p>Once loaded, the Encrypt library object will be available using: <dfn>$this->encrypt</dfn></p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->encrypt->encode()</h2>
+
+<p>Performs the data encryption and returns it as a string. Example:</p>
+<code>
+$msg = 'My secret message';<br />
+<br />
+$encrypted_string = $this->encrypt->encode($msg);</code>
+
+<p>You can optionally pass your encryption key via the second parameter if you don't want to use the one in your config file:</p>
+
+<code>
+$msg = 'My secret message';<br />
+$key = 'super-secret-key';<br />
+<br />
+$encrypted_string = $this->encrypt->encode($msg, $key);</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->encrypt->decode()</h2>
+
+<p>Decrypts an encoded string. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$encrypted_string = 'APANtByIGI1BpVXZTJgcsAG8GZl8pdwwa84';<br />
+<br />
+$plaintext_string = $this->encrypt->decode($encrypted_string);</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->encrypt->set_cypher();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to set an Mcrypt cypher. By default it uses <samp>MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256</samp>. Example:
+<code>$this->encrypt->set_cypher('MCRYPT_BLOWFISH');</code>
+<p>Please visit php.net for a list of <a href="http://php.net/mcrypt">available cyphers</a>.</p>
+
+<p>If you'd like to manually test whether your server supports Mcrypt you can use:</p>
+<code>echo ( ! function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt')) ? 'Nope' : 'Yup';</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->encrypt->set_mode();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to set an Mcrypt mode. By default it uses <samp>MCRYPT_MODE_ECB</samp>. Example:
+<code>$this->encrypt->set_mode('MCRYPT_MODE_CFB');</code>
+<p>Please visit php.net for a list of <a href="http://php.net/mcrypt">available modes</a>.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->encrypt->sha1();</h2>
+<p>SHA1 encoding function. Provide a string and it will return a 160 bit one way hash. Note: SHA1, just like MD5 is non-decodable. Example:</p>
+<code>$hash = $this->encrypt->sha1('Some string');</code>
+
+<p>Many PHP installations have SHA1 support by default so if all you need is to encode a hash it's simpler to use the native
+function:</p>
+
+<code>$hash = sha1('Some string');</code>
+
+<p>If your server does not support SHA1 you can use the provided function.</p>

+
+<h1>File Uploading Class</h1>
+
+<p>Code Igniter's File Uploading Class permits files to be uploaded. You can set various
+preferences, restricting the type and size of the files.</p>
+
+
+<h2>The Process</h2>
+
+<p>Uploading a file involves the following general process:</p>
+
+
+<ul>
+<li>An upload form is displayed, allowing a user to select a file and upload it.</li>
+<li>When the form is submitted, the file is uploaded to the destination you specify.</li>
+<li>Along the way, the file is validated to make sure it is allowed to be uploaded based on the preferences you set.</li>
+<li>Once uploaded, the user will be shown a success message.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To demonstrate this process here is brief tutorial. Afterward you'll find reference information.</p>
+
+<h2>Creating the Upload Form</h2>
+
+
+
+<p>Using a text editor, create a form called <dfn>upload_form.php</dfn>. In it, place this code and save it to your <samp>applications/views/</samp>
+folder:</p>
+
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="23"><html>
+<head>
+<title>Upload Form</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+
+<?=$error;?>
+
+<?=form_open_multipart('upload/do_upload'); ?>
+
+<input type="file" name="userfile" size="20" />
+
+<br /><br />
+
+<input type="submit" value="upload" />
+
+</form>
+
+</body>
+</html></textarea>
+
+<p>You'll notice we are using a form helper to create the opening form tag. File uploads require a multipart form, so the helper
+creates the proper syntax for you. You'll also notice we have an $error variable. This is so we can show error messages in the event
+the user does something wrong.</p>
+
+
+<h2>The Success Page</h2>
+
+<p>Using a text editor, create a form called <dfn>upload_success.php</dfn>.
+In it, place this code and save it to your <samp>applications/views/</samp> folder:</p>
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="20"><html>
+<head>
+<title>Upload Form</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+
+<h3>Your file was successfully uploaded!</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<?php foreach($upload_data as $item => $value):?>
+<li><?=$item;?>: <?=$value;?></li>
+<?php endforeach; ?>
+</ul>
+
+<p><?=anchor('upload', 'Upload Another File!'); ?></p>
+
+</body>
+</html></textarea>
+
+
+<h2>The Controller</h2>
+
+<p>Using a text editor, create a controller called <dfn>upload.php</dfn>. In it, place this code and save it to your <samp>applications/controllers/</samp>
+folder:</p>
+
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="43"><?php
+
+class Upload extends Controller {
+
+ function Upload()
+ {
+ parent::Controller();
+ $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
+ }
+
+ function index()
+ {
+ $this->load->view('upload_form', array('error' => ' ' ));
+ }
+
+ function do_upload()
+ {
+ $this->load->library('upload');
+
+ $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
+ $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
+ $config['max_size'] = '100';
+ $config['max_width'] = '1024';
+ $config['max_height'] = '768';
+
+ $this->upload->initialize($config);
+
+ if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
+ {
+ $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
+
+ $this->load->view('upload_form', $error);
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
+
+ $this->load->view('upload_success', $data);
+ }
+ }
+}
+?></textarea>
+
+
+<h2>The Upload Folder</h2>
+
+<p>You'll need a destination folder for your uploaded images. Create a folder at the root of your Code Igniter installation called
+<dfn>uploads</dfn> and set its file permissions to 777.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Try it!</h2>
+
+<p>To try your form, visit your site using a URL similar to this one:</p>
+
+<code>www.your-site.com/index.php/<var>upload</var>/</code>
+
+<p>You should see an upload form. Try uploading an image file (either a jpg, gif, or png). If the path in your
+controller is correct it should work.</p>
+
+
+<p> </p>
+
+<h1>Reference Guide</h1>
+
+
+<h2>Initializing the Upload Class</h2>
+
+<p>Like most other classes in Code Igniter, the Upload class is initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('upload');</code>
+<p>Once the Upload class is loaded, the object will be available using: <dfn>$this->upload</dfn></p>
+
+
+<h2>Setting Preferences</h2>
+
+<p>Similar to other libraries, you'll control what is allowed to be upload based on your preferences. In the controller you
+built above you set the following preferences:</p>
+
+<code>$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';<br />
+$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';<br />
+$config['max_size'] = '100';<br />
+$config['max_width'] = '1024';<br />
+$config['max_height'] = '768';<br />
+<br />
+$this->upload->initialize($config);</code>
+
+<p>The above preferences should be fairly self-explanatory. Below is a table describing all available preferences.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Preferences</h2>
+
+<p>The following preferences are available. The default value indicates what will be used if you do not specify that preference.</p>
+
+<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" style="width:100%" class="tableborder">
+<tr>
+<th>Preference</th>
+<th>Default Value</th>
+<th>Options</th>
+<th>Description</th>
+</tr>
+
+<tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>upload_path</strong></td>
+<td class="td">None</td>
+<td class="td">None</td>
+<td class="td">The path to the folder where the upload should be placed. The folder must be writable and the path can be absolute or relative.</td>
+</tr>
+
+<tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>allowed_types</strong></td>
+<td class="td">None</td>
+<td class="td">None</td>
+<td class="td">The mime types corresponding to the types of files you allow to be uploaded. Usually the file extension can be used as the mime type. Separate multiple types with a pipe.</td>
+</tr>
+
+
+<tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>overwrite</strong></td>
+<td class="td">FALSE</td>
+<td class="td">TRUE/FALSE (boolean)</td>
+<td class="td">If set to true, if a file with the same name as the one you are uploading exists, it will be overwritten. If set to false, a number will be appended to the filename if another with the same name exists.</td>
+</tr>
+
+
+<tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>max_size</strong></td>
+<td class="td">0</td>
+<td class="td">None</td>
+<td class="td">The maximum size (in kilobytes) that the file can be. Set to zero for no limit. Note: Most PHP installations have their own limit, as specified in the php.ini file. Usually 2 MB (or 2048 KB) by default.</td>
+</tr>
+
+<tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>max_width</strong></td>
+<td class="td">0</td>
+<td class="td">None</td>
+<td class="td">The maximum width (in pixels) that the file can be. Set to zero for no limit.</td>
+</tr>
+
+<tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>max_height</strong></td>
+<td class="td">0</td>
+<td class="td">None</td>
+<td class="td">The maximum height (in pixels) that the file can be. Set to zero for no limit.</td>
+</tr>
+
+
+<tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>encrypt_name</strong></td>
+<td class="td">FALSE</td>
+<td class="td">TRUE/FALSE (boolean)</td>
+<td class="td">If set to TRUE the file name will be converted to a random encrypted string. This can be useful if you would like the file saved with a name that can not be discerned by the person uploading it.</td>
+</tr>
+
+<tr>
+<td class="td"><strong>remove_spaces</strong></td>
+<td class="td">TRUE</td>
+<td class="td">TRUE/FALSE (boolean)</td>
+<td class="td">If set to TRUE, any spaces in the file name will be converted to underscores. This is recommended.</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+
+<h2>Setting preferences in a config file</h2>
+
+<p>If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can instead put them into a config file.
+Simply create a new file called the <var>upload.php</var>, add the <var>$config</var>
+array in that file. Then save the file in: <var>config/upload.php</var> and it will be used automatically. You
+will NOT need to use the <dfn>$this->upload->initialize</dfn> function if you save your preferences in a config file.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Function Reference</h2>
+
+<p>The following functions are available</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->upload->do_upload()</h2>
+
+<p>Performs the upload based on the preferences you've set. Note: The upload routine expects the file to come from a form field
+called <dfn>userfile</dfn>, and the form must be a "multipart type:</p>
+
+<code><form method="post" action="some_action" enctype="multipart/form-data" /></code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->upload->display_errors()</h2>
+
+<p>Retrieves any error messages if the <dfn>do_upload()</dfn> function returned false. The function does not echo automatically, it
+returns the data so you can assign it however you need.</p>
+
+<h3>Formatting Errors</h3>
+<p>By default the above function wraps any errors within <p> tags. You can set your own delimiters like this:</p>
+
+<code>$this->upload->display_errors('<var><p></var>', '<var></p></var>');</code>
+
+<h2>$this->upload->data()</h2>
+
+<p>This is a helper function that returns an array containing all of the data related to the file you uploaded.
+Here is the array prototype:</p>
+
+<code>Array<br />
+(<br />
+ [file_name] => mypic.jpg<br />
+ [file_type] => image/jpeg<br />
+ [file_path] => /path/to/your/upload/<br />
+ [full_path] => /path/to/your/upload/jpg.jpg<br />
+ [raw_name] => mypic<br />
+ [orig_name] => mypic.jpg<br />
+ [file_ext] => .jpg<br />
+ [file_size] => 22.2<br />
+ [is_image] => 1<br />
+ [image_width] => 800<br />
+ [image_height] => 600<br />
+ [image_type] => jpeg<br />
+ [image_size_str] => width="800" height="200"<br />
+)</code>
+
+<h3>Explanation</h3>
+
+<p>Here is an explanation of the above array items.</p>
+
+<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" style="width:100%" class="tableborder">
+<tr><th>Item</th><th>Description</th></tr>

+
+<h1>Image Manipulation Class</h1>
+
+<p>Code Igniter's Image Manipulation class lets you perform the following actions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Image Resizing</li>
+<li>Thumbnail Creation</li>
+<li>Image Cropping</li>
+<li>Image Rotating</li>
+<li>Image Watermarking</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>All three major image libraries are supported: GD/GD2, NetPBM, and ImageMagick</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Watermarking is only available using the GD/GD2 library.
+In addition, even though other libraries are supported, GD is required in
+order for the script to calculate the image properties. The image processing, however, will be performed with the
+library you specify.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
+
+<p>Like most other classes in Code Igniter, the image class is initialized in your controller
+using the <dfn>$this->load_library</dfn> function:</p>
+<code>$this->load->library('image_lib');</code>
+
+<p>Once the library is loaded it will be ready for use. The image library object you will use to call all functions is: <dfn>$this->image_lib</dfn></p>
+
+
+<h2>Processing an Image</h2>
+
+<p>Regardless of the type of processing you would like to perform (resizing, cropping, rotation, or watermarking), the general process is
+identical. You will set some preferences corresponding to the action you intend to perform, then
+call one of four available processing functions. For example, to create an image thumbnail you'll do this:</p>
+
+<code>$config['image_library'] = 'GD';<br />
+$config['source_image'] = '/path/to/image/mypic.jpg';<br />
+$config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;<br />
+$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;<br />
+$config['width'] = 75;<br />
+$config['height'] = 50;<br />
+<br />
+$this->image_lib->initialize($config);
+<br />
+<br />
+$this->image_lib->resize();</code>
+
+<p>The above code tells the <dfn>image_resize</dfn> function to look for an image called <em>mypic.jpg</em>
+located in the <dfn>source_image</dfn> folder, then create a thumbnail that is 75 X 50 pixels using the GD2 <dfn>image_library</dfn>.
+Since the <dfn>maintain_ratio</dfn> option is enabled, the thumb will be as close to the target <dfn>width</dfn> and
+<dfn>height</dfn> as possible while preserving the original aspect ratio. The thumbnail will be called <em>mypic_thumb.jpg</em>
+</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> In order for the image class to be allowed to do any processing, the
+folder containing the image files must have file permissions of 777.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Processing Functions</h2>
+
+<p>There are four available processing functions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>$this->image_lib->resize()</li>
+<li>$this->image_lib->crop()</li>
+<li>$this->image_lib->rotate()</li>
+<li>$this->image_lib->watermark()</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>These functions return boolean TRUE upon success and FALSE for failure. If they fail you can retrieve the
+error message using this function:</p>
+
+<code>echo $this->image_lib->display_errors();</code>
+
+<p>A good practice is use the processing function conditionally, showing an error upon failure, like this:</p>
+
+<code>if ( ! $this->image_lib->resize())<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $this->image_lib->display_errors();<br />
+}</code>
+
+<p>Note: You can optionally specify the HTML formatting to be applied to the errors, by submitting the opening/closing
+tags in the function, like this:</p>
+
+<code>$this->image_lib->display_errors('<var><p></var>', '<var></p></var>');</code>
+
+
+<h2>Preferences</h2>
+
+<p>The 14 available preferences described below allow you to tailor the image processing to suit your needs.</p>
+
+<p>Note that not all preferences are available for every
+function. For example, the x/y axis preferences are only available for image cropping. Likewise, the width and height
+preferences have no effect on cropping. The "availability" column indicates which functions support a given preference.</p>
+

+
+<h2>Setting preferences in a config file</h2>
+
+<p>If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can instead put them into a config file.
+Simply create a new file called the <var>image_lib.php</var>, add the <var>$config</var>
+array in that file. Then save the file in: <var>config/image_lib.php</var> and it will be used automatically. You
+will NOT need to use the <dfn>$this->image_lib->initialize</dfn> function if you save your preferences in a config file.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->image_lib->resize()</h2>
+
+<p>The image resizing function lets you resize the original image, create a copy (with or without resizing),
+or create a thumbnail image.</p>
+
+<p>For practical purposes there is no difference between creating a copy and creating
+a thumbnail except a thumb will have the thumbnail marker as part of the name (ie, mypic_thumb.jpg).</p>
+
+<p>All preferences listed in the table above are available for this function except these three: rotation, x_axis, and y_axis.</p>
+
+<h3>Creating a Thumbnail</h3>
+
+<p>The resizing function will create a thumbnail file (and preserve the original) if you set this preference so TRUE:</p>
+
+<code>$config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;</code>
+
+<p>This single preference determines whether a thumbnail is created or not.</p>
+
+<h3>Creating a Copy</h3>
+
+<p>The resizing function will create a copy of the image file (and preserve the original) if you set
+a path and/or a new filename using this preference:</p>
+
+<code>$config['new_image'] = '/path/to/new_image.jpg';</code>
+
+<p>Notes regarding this preference:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>If only the new image name is specified it will be placed in the same folder as the original</li>
+<li>If only the path is specified, the new image will be placed in the destination with the same name as the original.</li>
+<li>If both the path and image name are specified it will placed in its own destination and given the new name.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3>Resizing the Original Image</h3>
+
+<p>If neither of the two preferences listed above (create_thumb, and new_image) are used, the resizing function will instead
+target the original image for processing.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->image_lib->crop()</h2>
+
+<p>The cropping function works nearly identically to the resizing function except it requires that you set
+preferences for the X and Y axis (in pixels) specifying where to crop, like this:</p>
+
+<code>$config['x_axis'] = '100';<br />
+$config['x_axis'] = '40';</code>
+
+<p>All preferences listed in the table above are available for this function except these: rotation, width, height, create_thumb, new_image.</p>
+
+<p>Here's an example showing how you might crop an image:</p>
+
+<code>$config['image_library'] = 'imagemagick';<br />
+$config['library_path'] = '/usr/X11R6/bin/';<br />
+$config['source_image'] = '/path/to/image/mypic.jpg';<br />
+$config['x_axis'] = '100';<br />
+$config['y_axis'] = '60';<br />
+<br />
+$this->image_lib->initialize($config);
+<br />
+<br />
+if ( ! $this->image_lib->crop())<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $this->image_lib->display_errors();<br />
+}</code>
+
+
+<p>Note: Without a visual interface it is difficult to crop images, so this function is not very useful
+unless you intend to build such an interface. That's exactly what we did using for the photo
+gallery module in ExpressionEngine, the CMS we develop. We added a JavaScript UI that lets the cropping
+area be selected.</p>
+
+<h2>$this->image_lib->rotate()</h2>
+
+<p>The image rotation function requires that the angle of rotation be set via its preference:</p>
+
+<code>$config['rotation_angle'] = '90';</code>
+
+<p>There are 5 rotation options:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>90 - rotates counter-clockwise by 90 degrees.</li>
+<li>180 - rotates counter-clockwise by 180 degrees.</li>
+<li>270 - rotates counter-clockwise by 270 degrees.</li>
+<li>hor - flips the image horizontally.</li>
+<li>vrt - flips the image vertically.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Here's an example showing how you might rotate an image:</p>
+
+<code>$config['image_library'] = 'netpbm';<br />
+$config['library_path'] = '/usr/bin/';<br />
+$config['source_image'] = '/path/to/image/mypic.jpg';<br />
+$config['rotation_angle'] = 'hor';<br />
+<br />
+$this->image_lib->initialize($config);
+<br />
+<br />
+if ( ! $this->image_lib->rotate())<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $this->image_lib->display_errors();<br />
+}</code>
+
+
+
+<p> </p>
+<h1>Image Watermarking</h1>
+
+<p>The Watermarking feature requires the GD/GD2 library.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Two Types of Watermarking</h2>
+
+<p>There are two types of watermarking that you can use:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Text</strong>: The watermark message will be generating using text, either with a True Type font that you specify, or
+using the native text output that the GD library supports. If you use the True Type version your GD installation
+must be compiled with True Type support (most are, but not all).</li>
+
+<li><strong>Overlay</strong>: The watermark message will be generated by overlaying an image (usually a transparent PNG or GIF)
+containing your watermark over the source image.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2>Watermarking an Image</h2>
+
+<p>Just as with the other function (resizing, cropping, and rotating) the general process for watermarking
+involves setting the preferences corresponding to the action you intend to perform, then
+calling the watermark function. Here is an example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$config['source_image'] = '/path/to/image/mypic.jpg';<br />
+$config['wm_text'] = 'Copyright 2006 - John Doe';<br />
+$config['wm_type'] = 'text';<br />
+$config['wm_font_path'] = './system/fonts/texb.ttf';<br />
+$config['wm_font_size'] = '16';<br />
+$config['wm_text_color'] = 'ffffff';<br />
+$config['wm_vrt_alignment'] = 'bottom';<br />
+$config['wm_hor_alignment'] = 'center';<br />
+$config['wm_padding'] = '20';<br />
+<br />
+$this->image_lib->initialize($config);
+<br />
+<br />
+$this->image_lib->watermark();</code>
+
+
+<p>The above example will use a 16 pixel True Type font to create the text "Copyright 2006 - John Doe". The watermark
+will be positioned at the bottom/center of the image, 20 pixels from the bottom of the image.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> In order for the image class to be allowed to do any processing, the image file must have file permissions of 777.</p>
+
+

+<h1>Input Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Input Class serves two purposes:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>It pre-processes global input data for security.</li>
+<li>It provides some helper functions for fetching input data and pre-processing it.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Security Filtering</h2>
+
+<p>The security filtering function is called automatically when a new <a href="../general/controllers.html">controller</a> is invoked. It does the following:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Destroys the global GET array. Since Code Igniter does not utilize GET strings, there is no reason to allow it.</li>
+<li>Destroys all global variables in the event register_globals is turned on.</li>
+<li>Filters the POST/COOKIE array keys, permitting only alpha-numeric (and a few other) characters.</li>
+<li>Provides XSS (Cross-site Scripting Hacks) filtering. This can be enabled globally, or upon request.</li>
+<li>Standardizes newline characters to \n</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2>XSS Filtering</h2>
+
+<p>Code Igniter comes with a Cross Site Scripting Hack prevention filter which can either run automatically to filter
+all POST and COOKIE data that is encountered, or you can run it on a per item basis. By default it does <strong>not</strong>
+run globally since it requires a bit of processing overhead, and since you may not need it in all cases.</p>
+
+<p>The XSS filter looks for commonly used techniques to trigger Javascript or other types of code that attempt to hijack cookies
+or do other malicious things. If anything disallowed is encountered it is rendered safe by converting the data to character entities.</p>
+
+<p>
+Note: This function should only be used to deal with data upon submission. It's not something that should be used for general runtime processing since it requires a fair amount of processing overhead.</p>
+
+
+<p>To filter data through the XSS filter use this function:</p>
+
+<h2>$this->input->xss_clean()</h2>
+
+<p>Here is an usage example:</p>
+
+<code>$data = $this->input->xss_clean($data);</code>
+
+<p>If you want the filter to run automatically every time it encounters POST or COOKIE data you can enable it by opening your
+<kbd>application/config/config.php</kbd> file and setting this:
+
+<code>$config['global_xss_filtering'] = TRUE;</code>
+
+<p>Note: If you use the form validation class, it gives you the option of XSS filtering as well.</p>
+
+
+
+
+<h2>Using POST or COOKIE Data</h2>
+
+<p>Code Igniter comes with two helper functions that let you fetch POST or COOKIE items. The main advantage of using the provided
+functions rather then fetching an item directly ($_POST['something']) is that the functions will check to see if the item is set and
+return false (boolean) if not. This lets you conveniently use data without having to test whether an item exists first.
+In other words, normally you might do something like this:
+
+<code>
+if ( ! isset($_POST['something']))<br />
+{<br />
+ $something = FALSE;<br />
+}<br />
+else<br />
+{<br />
+ $something = $_POST['something'];<br />
+}</code>
+
+<p>With Code Igniter's built in functions you can simply do this:</p>
+
+<code>$something = $this->input->post('something');</code>
+
+<p>The two functions are:</p>
+
+<h2>$this->input->post()</h2>
+
+<p>The first parameter will contain the name of the POST item you are looking for:</p>
+
+<code>$this->input->post('some_data');</code>
+
+<p>The function returns FALSE (boolean) if the item you are attempting to retrieve does not exist.</p>
+
+<p>The second optional parameter lets you run the data through the XSS filter. It's enabled by setting the second parameter to boolean TRUE;</p>
+
+<code>$this->input->post('some_data', TRUE);</code>
+
+<h2>$this->input->cookie()</h2>
+
+<p>This function is identical to the post function, only it fetches cookie data:</p>
+
+<code>$this->input->cookie('some_data', TRUE);</code>
+
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->input->ip_address()</h2>
+<p>Returns the IP address for the current user. If the IP address is not valid, the function will return an IP of: 0.0.0.0</p>
+<code>echo $this->input->ip_address();</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->input->valid_ip(<var>$ip</var>)</h2>
+
+<p>Takes an IP address as input and returns TRUE or FALSE (boolean) if it is valid or not. Note: The $this->input->ip_address() function above
+validates the IP automatically.</p>
+
+<code>if ( ! valid_id($ip))<br />
+{<br />
+ echo 'Not Valid';<br />
+}<br />
+else<br />
+{<br />
+ echo 'Valid';<br />
+}</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->input->user_agent()</h2>
+<p>Returns the user agent (web browser) being used by the current user. Returns FALSE if it's not available.</p>
+<code>echo $this->input->user_agent();</code>

+<h1>Language Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Language Class provides functions to retrieve language files and lines of text for purposes of internationalization.</p>
+
+<p>In your Code Igniter system folder you'll find one called <dfn>language</dfn> containing sets of language files. You can create
+your own language files as needed in order to display error and other messages in other languages.</p>
+
+<h2>Creating Language Files</h2>
+
+<p>Language files must be named with <kbd>_lang.php</kbd> as the file extension. For example, let's say you want to create a file
+containing error messages. You might name it: <kbd>error_lang.php</kbd></p>
+
+<p>Within the file you will assign each line of text to an array called <var>$lang</var> with this prototype:</p>
+
+<code>$lang['language_key'] = "The actual message to be shown";</code>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> It's a good practice to use a common prefix for all messages in a given file to avoid collisions with
+similarly named items in other files:</p>
+
+<code>$lang['<var>error</var>_email_missing'] = "You must submit an email address";<br />
+$lang['<var>error</var>_url_missing'] = "You must submit a URL";<br />
+$lang['<var>error</var>_username_missing'] = "You must submit a username";</code>
+
+
+<h2>Loading A Language File</h2>
+
+<p>In order to fetch a line from a particular file you must load the file first. Loading a language file is done with the following code:</p>
+
+<code>$this->lang->load('<samp>filename</samp>', '<dfn>language</dfn>');</code>
+
+<p>Where <samp>filename</samp> is the name of the file you wish to load (without the file extension), and <dfn>language</dfn>
+is the language set containing it (ie, english). If the second parameter is missing, the default language set in your
+<kbd>application/config/config.php</kbd> file will be used.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Fetching a Line of Text</h2>
+
+<p>Once your desired language file is loaded you can access any line of text using this function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->lang->line('<samp>language_key</samp>');</code>
+
+<p>Where <samp>language_key</samp> is the array key corresponding to the line you wish to show.</p>
+
+<p>Note: This function simply returns the line. It does not echo it for you.</p>

+
+
+<h1>Loader Class</h1>
+
+<p>Loader, as the name suggests, is used to load elements. These elements can be libraries (classes) <a href="../general/views.html">View files</a>,
+<a href="../general/helpers.html">Helpers</a>, <a href="../general/plugins.html">Plugins</a>, or your own files.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
+
+<p>The following functions are available in this class:</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->load->view('<var>file_name</var>', <samp>$data</samp>, <kbd>true/false</kbd>)</h2>
+
+<p>This function is used to load your View files. If you haven't read the <a href="../general/views.html">Views</a> section of the
+user guide it is recommended that you do since it shows you how this function is typically used.</p>
+
+<p>The first parameter is required. It is the name of the view file you would like to load.</p>
+
+<p>The second <strong>optional</strong> parameter can take
+an associative array or an object as input, which it runs through the PHP <a href="http://www.php.net/extract">extract</a> function to
+convert to variables that can be used in your view files. Again, read the <a href="../general/views.html">Views</a> page to learn
+how this might be useful.</p>
+
+<p>The third <strong>optional</strong> parameter lets you change the behavior of the function so that it returns data as a string
+rather than sending it to your browser. This can be useful if you want to process the data in some way. If you
+set the parameter to <kbd>true</kbd> (boolean) it will return data. The default behavior is <kbd>false</kbd>, which sends it
+to your browser. Remember to assign it to a variable if you wan the data returned:</p>
+
+<code>$string = $this->load->view('<var>myfile</var>', '', <kbd>true</kbd>);</code>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->load->library('<var>class_name</var>')</h2>
+
+<p>This function is used to load core classes. Where <var>class_name</var> is the name of the class you want to load.
+Note: We use the terms "class" and "library" interchangeably.</p>
+
+<p>For example, if you would like to send email with Code Igniter, the first step is to load the email class within your controller:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('email');</code>
+
+<p>Once loaded, the library will be ready for use. Each library is described in detail in its own page, so please read the
+information regarding each one you would like to use.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->load->database('<var>options</var>', <kbd>true/false</kbd>)</h2>
+
+<p>This function lets you load the database class. The two parameters are <strong>optional</strong>. Please see the
+<a href="./database/index.html">database</a> section for more info.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->load->scaffolding('<var>table_name</var>')</h2>
+
+<p>This function lets you enable scaffolding. Please see the
+<a href="../general/scaffolding.html">scaffolding</a> section for more info.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->load->vars(<samp>$array</samp>)</h2>
+
+<p>This function takes an associative array as input and generates variables using the PHP <a href="http://www.php.net/extract">extract</a> function.
+This function produces the same result as using the second parameter of the <dfn>$this->load->view()</dfn> function above. The reason you might
+want to use this function independently is if you would like to set some global variables in the constructor of your controller
+and have them become available in any view file loaded from any function. You can have multiple calls to this function. The data get cached
+and merged into one array for conversion to variables.
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->load->helper('<var>file_name</var>')</h2>
+<p>This function loads helper files, where <var>file_name</var> is the name of the file, without the <kbd>_helper.php</kbd> extension.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->load->plugin('<var>file_name</var>')</h2>
+<p>This function loads plugins files, where <var>file_name</var> is the name of the file, without the <kbd>_plugin.php</kbd> extension.</p>
+
+<h2>$this->load->file('<var>filepath/filename</var>', <kbd>true/false</kbd>)</h2>
+<p>This is a generic file loading function. Supply the filepath and name in the first parameter and it will open and read the file.
+By default the data is sent to your browser, just like a View file, but if you set the second parameter to <kbd>true</kbd> (boolean)
+it will instead return the data as a string.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->load->lang('<var>file_name</var>')</h2>
+<p>This function is an alias of the <a href="language.html">language loading function</a>: $this->lang->load()</p>
+
+<h2>$this->load->config('<var>file_name</var>')</h2>
+<p>This function is an alias of the <a href="config.html">config file loading function</a>: $this->config->load()</p>

+<h1>Output Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Output class is a small class with one main function: To send the finalized web page to the requesting browser. It is
+also responsible for <a href="../general/caching.html">caching</a> your web pages, if you use that feature.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
+
+<p>Under normal circumstances you won't even notice the Output class since it works transparently without your intervention.
+For example, when you use the <a href="../libraries/loader.html">Loader</a> class to load a view file, it's automatically
+passed to the Output class, which will be called automatically by Code Igniter at the end of system execution.
+It is possible, however, for you to manually intervene with the output if you need to, using either of the two following functions:</p>
+
+<h2>$this->output->set_output();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to manually set the final output string. Usage example:<p>
+
+<code>$this->output->set_output($data);</code>
+
+<p><strong>Important:</strong> If you do set your output manually, it must be the last thing done in the function you call it from.
+For example, if you build a page in one of your controller functions, don't set the output until the end.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->output->get_output();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to manually retrieve any output that has been sent for storage in the output class. Usage example:<p>
+<code>$string = $this->output->get_output();</code>
+
+<p>Note that data will only be retrievable from this function if it has been previously sent to the output class by one of the
+Code Igniter functions like <var>$this->load->view()</var>.</p>

+<h1>Pagination Class</h1>
+
+<p>Code Igniter's Pagination class is very easy to use, and it is 100% customizable, ether dynamically or via stored preferences.</p>
+
+<p>If you are not familiar with the term "pagination", it refers to links that allows you to navigate from page to page, like this:</p>
+
+<code><a href="#">« First</a> <a href="#"><</a> <a href="#">1</a> <a href="#">2</a> <b>3</b> <a href="#">4</a> <a href="#">5</a> <a href="#">></a> <a href="#">Last »</a></code>
+
+<h2>Example</h2>
+
+<p>Here is a simple example showing how to create pagination in one of your <a href="../general/controllers.html">controller</a> functions:</p>
+
+<code>
+$this->load->library('pagination');<br /><br />
+$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.your-site.com/index.php/test/page/';<br />
+$config['total_rows'] = '200';<br />
+$config['per_page'] = '20';
+<br /><br />
+$this->pagination->initialize($config);
+
+<br /><br />
+echo $this->pagination->create_links();</code>
+
+<h3>Notes:</h3>
+
+<p>The <var>$config</var> array contains your configuration variables. It is passed to the <dfn>$this->pagination->initialize</dfn> function as shown above. Although there are some twenty items you can configure, at
+minimum you need the three shown. Here is a description of what those items represent:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>base_url</strong> This is the full URL to the controller class/function containing your pagination. In the example
+ above, it is pointing to a controller called "Page" and a function called "test". Keep in mind that you can
+ <a href="../general/routing.html">re-route your URI</a> if you need a different structure.</li>
+ <li><strong>total_rows</strong> This number represents the total rows in the result set you are creating pagination for.
+ Typically this number will be the total rows that your database query returned.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>per_page</strong> The number of items you intend to show per page. In the above example, you would be showing 20 items per page.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The <var>create_links()</var> function returns an empty string when there is no pagination to show.
+
+
+<h3>Setting preferences in a config file</h3>
+
+<p>If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can instead put them into a config file.
+Simply create a new file called the <var>pagination.php</var>, add the <var>$config</var>
+array in that file. Then save the file in: <var>config/pagination.php</var> and it will be used automatically. You
+will NOT need to use the <dfn>$this->pagination->initialize</dfn> function if you save your preferences in a config file.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Customizing the Pagination</h2>
+
+<p>The following is a list of all the preferences you can pass to the initialization function to tailor the display.</p>
+
+
+<h4>$config['uri_segment'] = 3;</h4>
+
+<p>The pagination function automatically determines which segment of your URI contains the page number. If you need
+something different you can specify it.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['num_links'] = 2;</h4>
+
+<p>The number of "digit" links you would like before and after the the selected page number. For example, the number 2
+will place two digits on either side, as in the example links at the very top of this page.</p>
+
+<h2>Adding Enclosing Markup</h2>
+
+<p>If you would like to surround the entire pagination with some markup you can do it with these two prefs:</p>
+
+<h4>$config['full_tag_open'] = '<p>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag placed on the left side of the entire result.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['full_tag_close'] = '</p>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag placed on the right side of the entire result.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Customizing the First Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['first_link'] = 'First';</h4>
+<p>The text you would like shown in the "first" link on the left.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['first_tag_open'] = '<div>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "first" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['first_tag_close'] = '</div>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "first" link.</p>
+
+<h2>Customizing the Last Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['last_link'] = 'Last';</h4>
+<p>The text you would like shown in the "last" link on the right.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['last_tag_open'] = '<div>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "last" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['last_tag_close'] = '</div>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "last" link.</p>
+
+<h2>Customizing the "Next" Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['next_link'] = '&gt';</h4>
+<p>The text you would like shown in the "next" page link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['next_tag_open'] = '<div>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "next" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['next_tag_close'] = '</div>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "next" link.</p>
+
+<h2>Customizing the "Previous" Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['prev_link'] = '&lt';</h4>
+<p>The text you would like shown in the "previous" page link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['prev_tag_open'] = '<div>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "previous" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['prev_tag_close'] = '</div>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "previous" link.</p>
+
+<h2>Customizing the "Current Page" Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['cur_tag_open'] = '<b>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "current" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['cur_tag_close'] = '</b>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "current" link.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Customizing the "Digit" Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['num_tag_open'] = '<div>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "digit" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['num_tag_close'] = '</div>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "digit" link.</p>
+
+
+
+</div>

+
+<h1>Template Parser Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Template Parser Class enables you to parse pseudo-variables contained within your view files. It can parse simple
+variables or variable tag pairs. If you've never used a template engine, pseudo-variables look like this:</p>
+
+<code><html><br />
+<head><br />
+<title><kbd>{blog_title}</kbd></title><br />
+</head><br />
+<body><br />
+<br />
+<h3><kbd>{blog_heading}</kbd></h3><br />
+<br />
+<kbd>{blog_entries}</kbd><br />
+<h5><kbd>{title}</kbd></h5><br />
+<p><kbd>{body}</kbd></p><br />
+<kbd>{/blog_entries}</kbd><br />
+
+</body><br />
+</html></code>
+
+<p>These variables are not actual PHP variables, but rather plain text representations that allow you to eliminate
+PHP from your templates (view files).</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Code Igniter does <strong>not</strong> require you to use this class
+since using pure PHP in your view pages lets them run a little faster. However, some developers prefer to use a template engine if
+they work with designers who they feel would find some confusion working with PHP.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Also Note:</strong> The Template Parser Class is <strong>not</strong> not a
+full-blown template parsing solution. We've kept it very lean on purpose in order to maintain maximum performance.
+
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
+
+<p>Like most other classes in Code Igniter, the Parser class is initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('parser');</code>
+<p>Once loaded, the Parser library object will be available using: <dfn>$this->parser</dfn></p>
+
+<p>The following functions are available in this library:</p>
+
+<h2>$this->parser->parse()</h2>
+
+<p>This variable accepts a template name and data array as input, and it generates a parsed version. Example:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('parser');<br />
+<br />
+$data = array(<br />
+ 'blog_title' => 'My Blog Title',<br />
+ 'blog_heading' => 'My Blog Heading'<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+$this->parser->parse('blog_template', $data);</code>
+
+<p>The first parameter contains the name of the <a href="../general/views.html">view file</a> (in this example the file would be called blog_template.php),
+and the second parameter contains an associative array of data to be replaced in the template. In the above example, the
+template would contain two variables: {blog_title} and {blog_heading}</p>
+
+<p>There is no need to "echo" or do something with the data returned by <dfn>$this->parser->parse()</dfn>. It is automatically
+passed to the output class to be sent to the browser. However, if you do want the data returned instead of sent to the output class you can
+pass TRUE (boolean) to the third parameter:</p>
+
+<code>$string = $this->parser->parse('blog_template', $data, TRUE);</code>
+
+
+<h2>Variable Pairs</h2>
+
+<p>The above example code allows simple variables to be replaced. What if you would like an entire block of variables to be
+repeated, with each iteration containing new values? Consider the template example we showed at the top of the page:</p>
+
+<code><html><br />
+<head><br />
+<title><kbd>{blog_title}</kbd></title><br />
+</head><br />
+<body><br />
+<br />
+<h3><kbd>{blog_heading}</kbd></h3><br />
+<br />
+<kbd>{blog_entries}</kbd><br />
+<h5><kbd>{title}</kbd></h5><br />
+<p><kbd>{body}</kbd></p><br />
+<kbd>{/blog_entries}</kbd><br />
+
+</body><br />
+</html></code>
+
+<p>In the above code you'll notice a pair of variables: <kbd>{blog_entries}</kbd> data... <kbd>{/blog_entries}</kbd>.
+In a case like this, the entire chunk of data between these pairs would be repeated multiple times, corresponding
+to the number of rows in a result.</p>
+
+<p>Parsing variable pairs is done using the identical code shown above to parse single variables,
+except, you will add a multi-dimensional array corresponding to your variable pair data.
+Consider this example:</p>
+
+
+<code>$this->load->library('parser');<br />
+<br />
+$data = array(<br />
+ 'blog_title' => 'My Blog Title',<br />
+ 'blog_heading' => 'My Blog Heading',<br />
+ 'blog_entries' => array(<br />
+ array('title' => 'Title 1', 'body' => 'Body 1'),<br />
+ array('title' => 'Title 2', 'body' => 'Body 2'),<br />
+ array('title' => 'Title 3', 'body' => 'Body 3'),<br />
+ array('title' => 'Title 4', 'body' => 'Body 4'),<br />
+ array('title' => 'Title 5', 'body' => 'Body 5')<br />
+ )<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+$this->parser->parse('blog_template', $data);</code>
+
+<p>If your "pair" data is coming from a database result, which is already a multi-dimensional array, you can simply
+use the database result function:</p>
+
+<code>
+$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM blog");<br />
+<br />
+$this->load->library('parser');<br />
+<br />
+$data = array(<br />
+ 'blog_title' => 'My Blog Title',<br />
+ 'blog_heading' => 'My Blog Heading',<br />
+ 'blog_entries' => $query->result_array()<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+$this->parser->parse('blog_template', $data);</code>
+
+

+
+<h1>Session Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Session class permits you maintain a user's "state" and track their activity while they browse your site.
+The Session class stores session information for each user as serialized (and optionally encrypted) data in a cookie.
+It can also store the session data in a database table for added security, as this permits the session ID in the
+user's cookie to be matched against the stored session ID. By default only the cookie is saved. If you choose to
+use the database option you'll need to create the session table as indicated below.
+</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The Session class does <strong>not</strong> utilize native PHP sessions. It
+generates its own session data, offering more flexibility for developers.</p>
+
+<h2>Initializing a Session</h2>
+
+<p>Sessions will typically run globally with each page load, so the session class must either be
+<a href="../general/libraries.html">initialized</a> in your
+<a href="../general/controllers.html">controller</a> constructors, or it can be
+<a href="../general/autoloader.html">auto-loaded</a> by the system.
+For the most part the session class will run unattended in the background, so simply initializing the class
+will cause it to read, create, and update sessions.</p>
+
+
+<p>To initialize the Session class manually in your controller constructor, use the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('session');</code>
+<p>Once loaded, the Sessions library object will be available using: <dfn>$this->session</dfn></p>
+
+
+<h2>How do Sessions work?</h2>
+
+<p>When a page is loaded, the session class will check to see if valid session data exists in the user's session cookie.
+If sessions data does <strong>not</strong> exist (or if it has expired) a new session will be created and saved in the cookie.
+If a session does exist, its information will be updated and the cookie will be updated.</p>
+
+<p>It's important for you to understand that once initialized, the Session class runs automatically. There is nothing
+you need to do to cause the above behavior to happen. You can, as you'll see below, work with session data or
+even add your own data to a user's session, but the process of reading, writing, and updating a session is automatic.</p>
+
+
+<h2>What is Session Data?</h2>
+
+<p>A <em>session</em>, as far as Code Igniter is concerned, is simply an array containing the following information:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The user's unique Session ID (this is a statistically random string with very strong entropy, hashed with MD5 for portability)</li>
+<li>The user's IP Address</li>
+<li>The user's User Agent data (the first 50 characters of the browser data string)</li>
+<li>The "last activity" and "last visit" time stamps.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The above data is stored in a cookie as a serialized array with this prototype:</p>
+
+<code>[array]<br />
+(<br />
+ 'session_id' => random hash,<br />
+ 'ip_address' => 'string - user IP address',<br />
+ 'user_agent' => 'string - user agent data',<br />
+ 'last_activity' => timestamp,<br />
+ 'last_visit' => timestamp<br />
+)</code>
+
+<p>If you have the encryption option enabled, the serialized array will be encrypted before being stored in the cookie,
+making the data highly secure and impervious to being read or altered by someone. More info regarding encryption
+can be <a href="encryption.html">found here</a>, although the Session class will take care of initializing
+and encrypting the data automatically.</p>
+
+<p>Note: Session cookies are only updated every five minutes to reduce processor load. If you repeatedly reload a page
+you'll notice that the "last activity" time only updates if five minutes or more has passed since the last time
+the cookie was written.</p>
+
+<h2>Retrieving Session Data</h2>
+
+<p>Any piece of information from the session array is available using the following function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->session->userdata('<samp>item</samp>');</code>
+
+<p>Where <samp>item</samp> is the array index corresponding to the item you wish to fetch. For example, to fetch the session ID you
+will do this:</p>
+
+<code>$session_id = $this->session->userdata('<samp>session_id</samp>');</code>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> The function returns FALSE (boolean) if the item you are trying to access does not exist.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Adding Custom Session Data</h2>
+
+<p>A useful aspect of the session array is that you can add your own data to it and it will be stored in the user's cookie.
+Why would you want to do this? Here's one example:</p>
+
+<p>Let's say a particular user logs into your site. Once authenticated,
+you could add their username and email address to the session cookie, making that data globally available to you without
+having to run a database query when you need it.</p>
+
+<p>To add your data to the session array involves passing an array containing your new data to this function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->session->set_userdata(<samp>$array</samp>);</code>
+
+<p>Where <samp>$array</samp> is an associative array containing your new data. Here's an example:</p>
+
+
+<code>$newdata = array(<br />
+ 'username' => 'johndoe',<br />
+ 'email' => 'johndoe@some-site.com',<br />
+ 'logged_in' => TRUE<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+$this->session->set_userdata(<samp>$newdata</samp>);</code>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Cookies can only hold 4KB of data, so be careful not to exceed the capacity. The
+encryption process in particular produces a longer data string than the original so keep careful track of how much data you are storing.</p>
+
+<h2>Saving Session Data to a Database</h2>
+
+<p>While the session data array stored in the user's cookie contains a Session ID,
+unless you store session data in a database there is no way to validate it. For some applications that require little or no
+security, session ID validation may not be needed, but if your application requires security, validation is mandatory.</p>
+
+<p>When session data is available in a database, every time a valid session is found in the user's cookie, a database
+query is performed to match it. If the session ID does not match, the session is destroyed. Session IDs can never
+be updated, they can only be generated when a new session is created.</p>
+
+<p>In order to store sessions, you must first create a database table for this purpose. Here is the basic
+prototype required by the session class:</p>
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="8">
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ci_sessions` (
+session_id varchar(40) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
+ip_address varchar(16) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
+user_agent varchar(50) NOT NULL,
+last_activity int(10) unsigned DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
+PRIMARY KEY (session_id)
+);</textarea>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> By default the table is called <dfn>ci_sessions</dfn>, but you can name it anything you want
+as long as you update the <kbd>application/config/config.php</kbd> file so that it contains the name you have chosen.
+Once you have created your database table you can enable the database option in your config.php file as follows:</p>
+
+<code>$config['sess_use_database'] = TRUE;</code>
+
+<p>Once enabled, the Session class will store session data in the DB.</p>
+
+<h2>Session Preferences</h2>
+
+<p>You'll find the following Session related preferences in your <kbd>application/config/config.php</kbd> file:</p>
+
+
+<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" style="width:100%" class="tableborder">
+<tr>
+<th>Preference</th>
+<th>Default</th>
+<th>Options</th>
+<th>Description</th>
+

+
+<h1>Trackback Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Trackback Class provides functions that enable you to send and receive Trackback data.</p>
+
+
+<p>If you are not familiar with Trackbacks you'll find more information <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackback">here</a>.</p>
+
+<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
+
+<p>Like most other classes in Code Igniter, the Trackback class is initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('trackback');</code>
+<p>Once loaded, the Trackback library object will be available using: <dfn>$this->trackback</dfn></p>
+
+
+<h2>Sending Trackbacks</h2>
+
+<p>A Trackback can be sent from any of your controller functions using code similar to this example:
+
+<code>$this->load->library('trackback');<br />
+<br />
+$tb_data = array(<br />
+ 'ping_url' => 'http://some-site.com/trackback/456',<br />
+ 'url' => 'http://www.my-site.com/blog/entry/123',<br />
+ 'title' => 'The Title of My Entry',<br />
+ 'excerpt' => 'The entry content.',<br />
+ 'blog_name' => 'My Blog Name',<br />
+ 'charset' => 'utf-8'<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+if ( ! $this->trackback->send($tb_data))<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $this->trackback->display_errors();<br />
+}<br />
+else<br />
+{<br />
+ echo 'Trackback was sent!';<br />
+}</code>
+
+<p>Description of array data:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><strong>ping_url</strong> - The URL of the site you are sending the Trackback to. You can send Trackbacks to multiple URLs by separating each URL with a comma.</li>
+<li><strong>url</strong> - The URL to YOUR site where the weblog entry can be seen.</li>
+<li><strong>title</strong> - The title of your weblog entry.</li>
+<li><strong>excerpt</strong> - The content of your weblog entry. Note: the Trackback class will automatically send only the first 500 characters of your entry. It will also strip all HTML.</li>
+<li><strong>blog_name</strong> - The name of your weblog.</li>
+<li><strong>charset</strong> - The character encoding your weblog is written in. If omitted, UTF-8 will be used.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The Trackback sending function returns TRUE/FALSE (boolean) on success or failure. If it fails, you can retrieve the error message using:</p>
+
+<code>$this->trackback->display_errors();</code>
+
+
+<h2>Receiving Trackbacks</h2>
+
+<p>Before you can receive Trackbacks you must create a weblog. If you don't have a blog yet there's no point in continuing.</p>
+
+<p>Receiving Trackbacks is a little more complex than sending them, only because you will need a database table in which to store them,
+and you will need to validate the incoming trackback data. You are encouraged to implement a thorough validation process to
+guard against spam and duplicate data. You may also want to limit the number of Trackbacks you allow from a particular IP within
+a given span of time to further curtail spam. The process of receiving a Trackback is quite simple;
+the validation is what takes most of the effort.</p>
+
+<h2>Your Ping URL</h2>
+
+<p>In order to accept Trackbacks you must display a Trackback URL next to each one of your weblog entries. This will be the URL
+that people will use to send you Trackbacks (we will refer to this as your "Ping URL").</p>
+
+<p>Your Ping URL must point to a controller function where your Trackback receiving code is located, and the URL
+must contain the ID number for each particular entry, so that when the Trackback is received you'll be
+able to associate it with a particular entry.</p>
+
+<p>For example, if your controller class is called <dfn>Trackback</dfn>, and the receiving function is called <dfn>receive</dfn>, your
+Ping URLs will look something like this:</p>
+
+<code>http://www.your-site.com/index.php/trackback/receive/<samp>entry_id</samp></code>
+
+<p>Where <samp>entry_id</samp> represents the individual ID number for each of your entries.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Creating a Trackback Table</h2>
+
+<p>Before you can receive Trackbacks you must create a table in which to store them. Here is a basic prototype for such a table:</p>
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="13">
+CREATE TABLE trackbacks (
+ tb_id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
+ entry_id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default 0,
+ url varchar(200) NOT NULL,
+ title varchar(100) NOT NULL,
+ excerpt text NOT NULL,
+ blog_name varchar(100) NOT NULL,
+ tb_date int(10) NOT NULL,
+ ip_address varchar(16) NOT NULL,
+ PRIMARY KEY (tb_id),
+ KEY (entry_id)
+);</textarea>
+
+
+<p>The Trackback specification only requires four pieces of information to be sent in a Trackback (url, title, excerpt, blog_name),
+but to make the data more useful we've added a few more fields in the above table schema (date, IP address, etc.).</p>
+
+<h2>Processing a Trackback</h2>
+
+<p>Here is an example showing how you will receive and process a Trackback. The following
+code is intended for use within the controller function where you expect to receive Trackbacks.</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('trackback');<br />
+$this->load->database();<br />
+<br />
+if ($this->uri->segment(3) == FALSE)<br />
+{<br />
+ $this->trackback->send_error("Unable to determine the entry ID");<br />
+}<br />
+<br />
+if ( ! $this->trackback->receive())<br />
+{<br />
+ $this->trackback->send_error("The Trackback did not contain valid data");<br />
+}<br />
+<br />
+$data = array(<br />
+ 'tb_id' => '',<br />
+ 'entry_id' => $this->uri->segment(3),<br />
+ 'url' => $this->trackback->data('url'),<br />
+ 'title' => $this->trackback->data('title'),<br />
+ 'excerpt' => $this->trackback->data('excerpt'),<br />
+ 'blog_name' => $this->trackback->data('blog_name'),<br />
+ 'tb_date' => time(),<br />
+ 'ip_address' => $this->input->ip_address()<br />
+ );<br />
+<br />
+$sql = $this->db->insert_string('trackbacks', $data);<br />
+$this->db->query($sql);<br />
+<br />
+$this->trackback->send_success();</code>
+
+<h4>Notes:</h4>
+
+<p>The entry ID number is expected in the third segment of your URL. This is based on the URI example we gave earlier:</p>
+
+<code>http://www.your-site.com/index.php/trackback/receive/<samp>entry_id</samp></code>
+
+<p>Notice the entry_id is in the third URI, which you can retrieve using:</p>
+
+<code>$this->uri->segment(3);</code>
+
+<p>In our Trackback receiving code above, if the third segment is missing, we will issue an error. Without a valid entry ID, there's no
+reason to continue.</p>
+
+<p>The <dfn>$this->trackback->receive()</dfn> function is simply a validation function that looks at the incoming data
+and makes sure it contains the four pieces of data that are required (url, title, excerpt, blog_name).
+It returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure. If it fails you will issue an error message.</p>
+
+<p>The incoming Trackback data can be retrieved using this function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->trackback->data('<var>item</var>')</code>
+
+<p>Where <var>item</var> represents one of these four pieces of info: url, title, excerpt, or blog_name</p>
+
+<p>If the Trackback data is successfully received, you will issue a success message using:</p>
+
+<code>$this->trackback->send_success();</code>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The above code contains no data validation, which you are encouraged to add.</p>

+
+<h1>Unit Testing Class</h1>
+
+<p>Unit testing is an approach to software development in which tests are written for each function in your application.
+If you are not familiar with the concept you might do a little googling on the subject.</p>
+
+<p>Code Igniter's Unit Test class is quite simple, consisting of an evaluation function and two result functions.
+It's not intended to be a full-blown test suite but rather a simple mechanism to evaluate your code
+to determine if it is producing the correct data type and result.
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
+
+<p>Like most other classes in Code Igniter, the Unit Test class is initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('unit_test');</code>
+<p>Once loaded, the Unit Test object will be available using: <dfn>$this->unit</dfn></p>
+
+
+<h2>Running Tests</h2>
+
+<p>Running a test involves supplying a test and an expected result to the following function:</p>
+
+<h2>$this->unit->run( <var>test</var>, <var>expected result</var>, '<var>test name</var>' );</h2>
+
+<p>Where <var>test</var> is the result of the code you wish to test,
+<var>expected result</var> is the data type you expect, and <var>test name</var> is an optional name you can give your test. Example:</p>
+
+<code>$test = 1 + 1;<br />
+<br />
+$expected_result = 2;<br />
+<br />
+$test_name = 'Adds one plus one';<br />
+<br />
+$this->unit->run($test, $expected_result, $test_name);</code>
+
+<p>The expected result you supply can either be a literal match, or a data type match. Here's an example of a literal:</p>
+
+<code>$this->unit->run('Foo', 'Foo');</code>
+
+<p>Here is an example of a data type match:</p>
+
+<code>$this->unit->run('Foo', 'is_string');</code>
+
+<p>Notice the use of "is_string" in the second parameter? This tells the function to evaluate whether your test is producing a string
+as the result. Here is a list of allowed comparison types:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>is_string</li>
+<li>is_bool</li>
+<li>is_true</li>
+<li>is_false</li>
+<li>is_int</li>
+<li>is_numeric</li>
+<li>is_float</li>
+<li>is_double</li>
+<li>is_array</li>
+<li>is_null</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2>Generating Reports</h2>
+
+<p>You can either display results after each test, or your can run several tests and generate a report at the end.
+To show a report directly simply echo or return the <var>run</var> function:</p>
+
+<code>echo $this->unit->run($test, $expected_result);</code>
+
+<p>To run a full report of all tests, use this:</p>
+
+<code>echo $this->unit->report();</code>
+
+<p>The report will be formatted in an HTML table for viewing. If you prefer the raw data you can retrieve an array using:</p>
+
+<code>echo $this->unit->result();</code>
+
+
+<h2>Strict Mode</h2>
+
+<p>By default the unit test class evaluates literal matches loosely. Consider this example:</p>
+
+<code>$this->unit->run(1, TRUE);</code>
+
+<p>The test is evaluating an integer, but the expected result is a boolean. PHP, however, due to it's loose data-typing
+will evaluate the above code as TRUE using a normal equality test:</p>
+
+<code>if (1 == TRUE) echo 'This evaluates as true';</code>
+
+<p>If you prefer, you can put the unit test class in to strict mode, which will compare the data type as well as the value:</p>
+
+<code>if (1 === TRUE) echo 'This evaluates as FALSE';</code>
+
+<p>To enable strict mode use this:</p>
+
+<code>$this->unit->strict(TRUE);</code>
+
+<h2>Enabling/Disabling Unit Testing</h2>
+
+<p>If you would like to leave some testing in place in your scripts, but not have it run unless you need it, you can disable
+unit testing using:</p>
+
+<code>$this->unit->active(FALSE)</code>
+
+
+
+<h2>Creating a Template</h2>
+
+<p>If you would like your test results formatted differently then the default you can set your own template. Here is an
+example of a simple template. Note the required pseudo-variables:</p>
+
+<code>
+$str = '<br />
+<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1"><br />
+ <kbd>{rows}</kbd><br />
+ <tr><br />
+ <td><kbd>{item}</kbd></td><br />
+ <td><kbd>{result}</kbd></td><br />
+ </tr><br />
+ <kbd>{/rows}</kbd><br />
+</table>';<br />
+<br />
+$this->unit->set_template($str);
+</code>

+
+
+<h1>URI Class</h1>
+
+<p>The URI Class provides functions that help you retrieve information from your URI strings.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
+
+<h2>$this->uri->segment(<var>n</var>)</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to retrieve a specific segment. Where <var>n</var> is the segment number you wish to retrieve.
+Segments are numbered from left to right. For example, if your full URL is this:</p>
+
+<code>http://www.your-site.com/index.php/news/local/metro/crime_is_up</code>
+
+<p>The segment numbers would be this:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>news</li>
+<li>local</li>
+<li>metro</li>
+<li>crime_is_up</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>By default the function returns FALSE (boolean) if the segment does not exist. There is an optional second parameter that
+permits you to set your own default value if the segment is missing.
+For example, this would tell the function to return the number zero in the event of failure:</p>
+
+<code>$product_id = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);</code>
+
+<p>It helps avoid having to write code like this:</p>
+
+<code>if ($this->uri->segment(3) === FALSE)<br />
+{<br />
+ $product_id = 0;<br />
+}<br />
+else<br />
+{<br />
+ $product_id = $this->uri->segment(3);<br />
+}<br />
+</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->slash_segment(<var>n</var>)</h2>
+
+<p>This function is almost identical to the one above, except it adds a trailing and/or leading slash based on the second
+parameter. If the parameter is not used, a trailing slash added. Examples:</p>
+
+<code>$this->uri->slash_segment(<var>3</var>);<br />
+$this->uri->slash_segment(<var>3</var>, 'leading');<br />
+$this->uri->slash_segment(<var>3</var>, 'both');</code>
+
+<p>Returns:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>segment/</li>
+<li>/segment</li>
+<li>/segment/</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->uri_to_assoc(<var>n</var>)</h2>
+
+<p>This function lets you turn URI segments into and associative array of key/value pairs. Consider this URI:</p>
+
+<code>index.php/user/search/name/joe/location/UK/gender/male</code>
+
+<p>Using this function you can turn the URI into an associative array with this prototype:</p>
+
+<code>[array]<br />
+(<br />
+ 'name' => 'joe'<br />
+ 'location' => 'UK'<br />
+ 'gender' => 'male'<br />
+)</code>
+
+<p>The first parameter of the function lets you set an offset. By default it is set to <kbd>3</kbd> since your
+URI will normally contain a controller/function in the first and second segments. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$array = $this->uri->uri_to_assoc(3);<br />
+<br />
+echo $array['name'];
+</code>
+
+
+<p>The second parameter lets you set default key names, so that the array returned by the function will always contain expected indexes, even if missing from the URI. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$default = array('name', 'gender', 'location', 'type', 'sort');<br />
+<br />
+$array = $this->uri->uri_to_assoc(3, $default);</code>
+
+<p>If the URI does not contain a value in your default, an array index will be set to that name, with a value of FALSE.</p>
+
+<p>Lastly, if a corresponding value is not found for a given key (if there is an odd number of URI segments) the value will be set to FALSE (boolean).</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->assoc_to_uri()</h2>
+
+<p>Takes an associative array as input and generates a URI string from it. The array keys will be included in the string. Example:</p>
+
+<code>$array = array('product' => 'shoes', 'size' => 'large', 'color' => 'red');<br />
+<br />
+$str = $this->uri->assoc_to_str($array);<br />
+<br />
+// Produces: product/shoes/size/large/color/red
+</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->uri_string()</h2>
+
+<p>Returns a string with the complete URI. For example, if this is your full URL:</p>
+
+<code>http://www.your-site.com/index.php/news/local/345</code>
+
+<p>The function would return this:</p>
+
+<code>news/local/345</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->total_segments()</h2>
+
+<p>Returns the total number of segments.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->uri->segment_array()</h2>
+
+<p>Returns an array containing the URI segments. For example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$segs = $this->uri->segment_array();<br />
+<br />
+foreach ($segs as $segment)<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $segment;<br />
+ echo '<br />';<br />
+}</code>

+
+<h1>Form Validation</h1>
+
+<p>Before explaining Code Igniter's approach to data validation, let's describe the ideal scenario:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>A form is displayed.</li>
+<li>You fill it in and submit it.</li>
+<li>If you submitted something invalid, or perhaps missed a required item, the form is redisplayed containing your data along with an error message describing the problem.</li>
+<li>This process continues until you have submitted a valid form.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>On the receiving end, the script must:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Check for required data.</li>
+<li>Verify that the data is of the correct type, and meets the correct criteria. (For example, if a username is submitted
+it must be validated to contain only permitted characters. It must be of a minimum length,
+and not exceed a maximum length. The username can't be someone else's existing username, or perhaps even a reserved word. Etc.)
+<li>Sanitize the data for security.</li>
+<li>Pre-format the data if needed (Does the data need to be trimmed? HTML encoded? Etc.)</li>
+<li>Prep the data for insertion in the database.</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<p>Although there is nothing complex about the above process, it usually requires a significant
+amount of code, and to display error messages, various control structures are usually placed within the form HTML.
+Form validation, while simple to create, is generally very messy and tedious to implement.</p>
+
+<dfn>Code Igniter provides a comprehensive validation framework that truly minimizes the amount of code you'll write.
+It also removes all control structures from your form HTML, permitting it to be clean and free of code.</dfn>
+
+<h2>Overview</h2>
+
+<p>In order to implement Code Igniter's form validation you'll need three things:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>A <a href="../general/views.html">View</a> file containing the form.</li>
+<li>A View file containing a "success" message to be displayed upon successful submission.</li>
+<li>A <a href="../general/controllers.html">controller</a> function to receive and process the submitted data.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Let's create those three things, using a member sign-up form as the example.</p>
+
+<h2>The Form</h2>
+
+<p>Using a text editor, create a form called <dfn>myform.php</dfn>. In it, place this code and save it to your <samp>applications/views/</samp>
+folder:</p>
+
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="30"><html>
+<head>
+<title>My Form</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+
+<?=$this->validation->error_string; ?>
+
+<?=form_open('form'); ?>
+
+<h5>Username</h5>
+<input type="text" name="username" value="" size="50" />
+
+<h5>Password</h5>
+<input type="text" name="password" value="" size="50" />
+
+<h5>Password Confirm</h5>
+<input type="text" name="passconf" value="" size="50" />
+
+<h5>Email Address</h5>
+<input type="text" name="email" value="" size="50" />
+
+<div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div>
+
+</form>
+
+</body>
+</html></textarea>
+
+
+<h2>The Success Page</h2>
+
+
+<p>Using a text editor, create a form called <dfn>formsuccess.php</dfn>. In it, place this code and save it to your <samp>applications/views/</samp>
+folder:</p>
+
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="14"><html>
+<head>
+<title>My Form</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+
+<h3>Your form was successfully submitted!</h3>
+
+<p><?=anchor('form', 'Try it again!'); ?></p>
+
+</body>
+</html></textarea>
+
+
+<h2>The Controller</h2>
+
+<p>Using a text editor, create a controller called <dfn>form.php</dfn>. In it, place this code and save it to your <samp>applications/controllers/</samp>
+folder:</p>
+
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="21"><?php
+
+class Form extends Controller {
+
+ function index()
+ {
+ $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
+
+ $this->load->library('validation');
+
+ if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
+ {
+ $this->load->view('myform');
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ $this->load->view('formsuccess');
+ }
+ }
+}
+?></textarea>
+
+
+<h2>Try it!</h2>
+
+<p>To try your form, visit your site using a URL similar to this one:</p>
+
+<code>www.your-site.com/index.php/<var>form</var>/</code>
+
+<p><strong>If you submit the form you should simply see the form reload. That's because you haven't set up any validation
+rules yet, which we'll get to in a moment.</strong></p>
+
+
+<h2>Explanation</h2>
+
+<p>You'll notice several things about the above pages:</p>
+
+<p>The <dfn>form</dfn> (myform.php) is a standard web form with a couple exceptions:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>It uses a <dfn>form helper</dfn> to create the form opening.
+Technically, this isn't necessary. You could create the form using standard HTML. However, the benefit of using the helper
+is that it generates the action URL for you, based on the URL in your config file. This makes your application more portable
+and flexible in the event your URLs change.</li>
+
+<li>At the top of the form you'll notice the following variable:
+<code><?=$this->validation->error_string; ?></code>
+
+<p>This variable will display any error messages sent back by the validator. If there are no messages it returns nothing.</p>
+</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>The <dfn>controller</dfn> (form.php) has one function: <dfn>index()</dfn>. This function initializes the validation class and
+loads the <var>form helper</var> and <var>URL helper</var> used by your view files. It also <samp>runs</samp>
+the validation routine. Based on
+whether the validation was successful it either presents the form or the success page.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Since you haven't told the validation class to validate anything yet, it returns "false" (boolean false) by default. The <samp>run()</samp>
+function only returns "true" if it has successfully applied your rules without any of them failing.</strong></p>
+
+
+<h2>Setting Validation Rules</h2>
+
+<p>Code Igniter lets you set as many validation rules as you need for a given field, cascading them in order, and it even lets you prep and pre-process the field data
+at the same time. Let's see it in action, we'll explain it afterwards.</p>
+
+<p>In your <dfn>controller</dfn> (form.php), add this code just below the validation initialization function:</p>
+
+<code>$rules['username'] = "required";<br />
+$rules['password'] = "required";<br />
+$rules['passconf'] = "required";<br />
+$rules['email'] = "required";<br />
+<br />
+$this->validation->set_rules($rules);</code>
+
+<p>Your controller should now look like this:</p>
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="28"><?php
+
+class Form extends Controller {
+
+ function index()
+ {
+ $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
+
+ $this->load->library('validation');
+
+ $rules['username'] = "required";
+ $rules['password'] = "required";
+ $rules['passconf'] = "required";
+ $rules['email'] = "required";
+
+ $this->validation->set_rules($rules);
+
+ if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
+ {
+ $this->load->view('myform');
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ $this->load->view('formsuccess');
+ }
+ }
+}
+?></textarea>
+
+<p><dfn>Now submit the form with the fields blank and you should see the error message.
+If you submit the form with all the fields populated you'll see your success page.</dfn></p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The form fields are not yet being re-populated with the data when
+there is an error. We'll get to that shortly, once we're through explaining the validation rules.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Changing the Error Delimiters</h2>
+
+<p>By default, the system adds a paragraph tag (<p>) around each error message shown. You can easily change these delimiters with
+this code, placed in your controller:</p>
+
+<code>$this->validation->set_error_delimiters('<kbd><div class="error"></kbd>', '<kbd></div></kbd>');</code>
+
+<p>In this example, we've switched to using div tags.</p>
+
+<h2>Cascading Rules</h2>
+
+<p>Code Igniter lets you pipe multiple rules together. Let's try it. Change your rules array like this:</p>
+
+
+<code>$rules['username'] = "required|min_length[5]|max_length[12]";<br />
+$rules['password'] = "required|matches[passconf]";<br />
+$rules['passconf'] = "required";<br />
+$rules['email'] = "required|valid_email";</code>
+
+<p>The above code requires that:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>The username field be no shorter than 5 characters and no longer than 12.</li>
+<li>The password field must match the password confirmation field.</li>
+<li>The email field must contain a valid email address.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Give it a try!</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> There are numerous rules available which you can read about in the validation reference.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Prepping Data</h2>
+
+<p>In addition to the validation functions like the ones we used above, you can also prep your data in various ways.
+For example, you can set up rules like this:
+
+<code>$rules['username'] = "<kbd>trim</kbd>|required|min_length[5]|max_length[12]|<kbd>xss_clean</kbd>";<br />
+$rules['password'] = "<kbd>trim</kbd>|required|matches[passconf]|<kbd>md5</kbd>";<br />
+$rules['passconf'] = "<kbd>trim</kbd>|required";<br />
+$rules['email'] = "<kbd>trim</kbd>|required|valid_email";</code>
+
+<p>In the above, we are "trimming" the fields, converting the password to MD5, and running the username through
+the "xss_clean" function, which removes malicious data.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Any native PHP function that accepts one parameter can be used as a rule, like <dfn>htmlspecialchars</dfn>,
+<dfn>trim</dfn>, <dfn>MD5</dfn>, etc.</strong></p>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> You will generally want to use the prepping functions <strong>after</strong>
+the validation rules so if there is an error, the original data will be shown in the form.</p>
+
+<h2>Callbacks: Your own Validation Functions</h2>
+
+<p>The validation system supports callbacks to your own validation functions. This permits you to extend the validation class
+to meet your needs. For example, if you need to run a database query to see if the user is choosing a unique username, you can
+create a callback function that does that. Let's create a simple example.</p>
+
+<p>In your controller, change the "username" rule to this:</p>
+
+<code>$rules['username'] = "callback_username_check"; </code>
+
+<p>Then add a new function called <dfn>username_check</dfn> to your controller. Here's how your controller should look:</p>
+
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="44"><?php
+
+class Form extends Controller {
+
+ function index()
+ {
+ $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
+
+ $this->load->library('validation');
+
+ $rules['username'] = "callback_username_check";
+ $rules['password'] = "required";
+ $rules['passconf'] = "required";
+ $rules['email'] = "required";
+
+ $this->validation->set_rules($rules);
+
+ if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
+ {
+ $this->load->view('myform');
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ $this->load->view('formsuccess');
+ }
+ }
+
+ function username_check($str)
+ {
+ if ($str == 'test')
+ {
+ $this->validation->set_message('username_check', 'The %s field can not be the word "test"');
+ return FALSE;
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ return TRUE;
+ }
+ }
+
+}
+?></textarea>
+
+<p>Reload your form and submit it with the word "test" as the username. You can see that the form field data was passed to your
+callback function for you to process.</p>
+
+<p><strong>To invoke a callback just put the function name in a rule, with "callback_" as the rule prefix.</strong></p>
+
+<p>The error message was set using the <dfn>$this->validation->set_message</dfn> function.
+Just remember that the message key (the first parameter) must match your function name.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> You can apply your own custom error messages to any rule, just by setting the
+message similarly. For example, to change the message for the "required" rule you will do this:</p>
+
+<code>$this->validation->set_message('required', 'Your custom message here');</code>
+
+<h2>Re-populating the form</h2>
+
+<p>Thus far we have only been dealing with errors. It's time to repopulate the form field with the submitted data.
+This is done similarly to your rules. Add the following code to your controller, just below your rules:</p>
+
+<code>$fields['username'] = 'Username';<br />
+$fields['password'] = 'Password';<br />
+$fields['passconf'] = 'Password Confirmation';<br />
+$fields['email'] = 'Email Address';<br />
+<br />
+$this->validation->set_fields($fields);</code>
+
+<p>The array keys are the actual names of the form fields, the value represents the full name that you want shown in the
+error message.</p>
+
+<p>The index function of your controller should now look like this:</p>
+
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="30">function index()
+{
+ $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
+
+ $this->load->library('validation');
+
+ $rules['username'] = "required";
+ $rules['password'] = "required";
+ $rules['passconf'] = "required";
+ $rules['email'] = "required";
+
+ $this->validation->set_rules($rules);
+
+ $fields['username'] = 'Username';
+ $fields['password'] = 'Password';
+ $fields['passconf'] = 'Password Confirmation';
+ $fields['email'] = 'Email Address';
+
+ $this->validation->set_fields($fields);
+
+ if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
+ {
+ $this->load->view('myform');
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ $this->load->view('formsuccess');
+ }
+}</textarea>
+
+
+<p>Now open your <dfn>myform.php</dfn> view file and update the value in each field so that it has an object corresponding to its name:</p>
+
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="30"><html>
+<head>
+<title>My Form</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+
+<?=$this->validation->error_string; ?>
+
+<?=form_open('form'); ?>
+
+<h5>Username</h5>
+<input type="text" name="username" value="<?=$this->validation->username;?>" size="50" />
+
+<h5>Password</h5>
+<input type="text" name="password" value="<?=$this->validation->password;?>" size="50" />
+
+<h5>Password Confirm</h5>
+<input type="text" name="passconf" value="<?=$this->validation->passconf;?>" size="50" />
+
+<h5>Email Address</h5>
+<input type="text" name="email" value="<?=$this->validation->email;?>" size="50" />
+
+<div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div>
+
+</form>
+
+</body>
+</html></textarea>
+
+
+<p>Now reload your page and submit the form so that it triggers an error. Your form fields should be populated
+and the error messages will contain a more relevant field name.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>Showing Errors Individually</h2>
+
+<p>If you prefer to show an error message next to each form field, rather than as a list, you can change your form so that it looks like this:</p>
+
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="20">
+<h5>Username</h5>
+<?=$this->validation->username_error; ?>
+<input type="text" name="username" value="<?=$this->validation->username;?>" size="50" />
+
+<h5>Password</h5>
+<?=$this->validation->password_error; ?>
+<input type="text" name="password" value="<?=$this->validation->password;?>" size="50" />
+
+<h5>Password Confirm</h5>
+<?=$this->validation->passconf_error; ?>
+<input type="text" name="passconf" value="<?=$this->validation->passconf;?>" size="50" />
+
+<h5>Email Address</h5>
+<?=$this->validation->email_error; ?>
+<input type="text" name="email" value="<?=$this->validation->email;?>" size="50" /></textarea>
+
+<p>If there are no errors, nothing will be shown. If there is an error, the message will appear, wrapped in the delimiters you
+have set (<p> tags by default).</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note: </strong>To display errors this way you must remember to set your fields using the <kbd>$this->validation->set_fields</kbd>
+function described earlier. The errors will be turned into variables that have "_error" after your field name.
+For example, your "username" error will be available at:<br /><dfn>$this->validation->username_error</dfn>.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Rule Reference</h2>
+
+<p>The following is a list of all the native rules that are available to use:</p>

+like <kbd>trim</kbd>, <kbd>htmlspecialchars</kbd>, <kbd>urldecode</kbd>, etc.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Setting Custom Error Messages</h2>
+
+<p>All of the native error messages are located in the following language file: <dfn>language/english/validation_lang.php</dfn></p>
+
+<p>To set your own custom message you can either edit that file, or use the following function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->validation->set_message('<var>rule</var>', '<var>Error Message</var>');</code>
+
+<p>Where <var>rule</var> corresponds to the name of a particular rule, and <var>Error Message</var> is the text you would like displayed.</p>

+<h1>XML-RPC and XML-RPC Server Classes</h1>
+
+
+<p>Code Igniter's XML-RPC classes permit you to send requests to another server, or set up
+your own XML-RPC server to receive requests.</p>
+
+
+<h2>What is XML-RPC?</h2>
+
+<p>Quite simply it is a way for two computers to communicate over the internet using XML.
+One computer, which we will call the <dfn>client</dfn>, sends an XML-RPC <strong>request</strong> to
+another computer, which we will call the <dfn>server</dfn>. Once the server receives and processes the request it
+will send back a <strong>response</strong> to the client.</p>
+
+<p>For example, using the MetaWeblog API, an XML-RPC Client (usually a desktop publishing tool) will
+send a request to an XML-RPC Server running on your site. This request might be a new weblog entry
+being sent for publication, or it could be a request for an existing entry for editing.
+
+When the XML-RPC Server receives this request it will examine it to determine which class/method should be called to process the request.
+Once processed, the server will then send back a response message.</p>
+
+<p>For detailed spcifications, you can visit the <a href="http://www.xmlrpc.com/">XML-RPC</a> site.</p>
+
+<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
+
+<p>Like most other classes in Code Igniter, the XML-RPC and XML-RPCS classes are initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
+
+<p>To load the XML-RPC class you will use:
+<code>$this->load->library('xmlrpc');</code>
+<p>Once loaded, the xml-rpc library object will be available using: <dfn>$this->xmlrpc</dfn></p>
+
+<p>To load the XML-RPC Server class you will use:
+<code>$this->load->library('xmlrpcs');</code>
+<p>Once loaded, the xml-rpcs library object will be available using: <dfn>$this->xmlrpcs</dfn></p>
+
+
+
+<h2>Sending XML-RPC Requests</h2>
+
+<p>To send a request to an XML-RPC server you must specify the following information:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The URL of the server</li>
+<li>The method on the server you wish to call</li>
+<li>The <em>request</em> data (explained below).</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Here is a basic example that sends a simple Weblogs.com ping to the <a href="http://pingomatic.com/">Ping-o-Matic</a></p>
+
+
+<code>$this->load->library('xmlrpc');<br />
+<br />
+$this->xmlrpc->server('http://rpc.pingomatic.com/', 80);<br />
+$this->xmlrpc->method('weblogUpdates.ping');<br />
+
+<br />
+$request = array('My Photoblog', 'http://www.my-site.com/photoblog/');<br />
+$this->xmlrpc->request($request);<br />
+<br />
+if ( ! $this->xmlrpc->send_request())<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $xmlrpc->display_error();<br />
+}
+</code>
+
+<h3>Explanation</h3>
+
+<p>The above code initializes the XML-RPC class, sets the server URL and method to be called (weblogUpdates.ping). The
+request (in this case, the title and URL of your site) is placed into an array for transportation, and
+compiled using the request() function.
+Lastly, the full request is sent. If the <dfn>send_request()</dfn> method returns false we will display the error message
+sent back from the XML-RPC Server.</p>
+
+<h2>Anatomy of a Request</h2>
+
+<p>An XML-RPC <dfn>request</dfn> is simply the data you are sending to the XML-RPC server. Each piece of data in a request
+is referred to as a <dfn>request parameter</dfn>. The above example has two parameters:
+The URL and title of your site. When the XML-RPC server receives your request, it will look for parameters it requires.</p>
+
+<p>Request parameters must be placed into an array for transportation, and each parameter can can be one
+of seven data types (strings, numbers, dates, etc.). If your parameters are something other than strings
+you will have to include the data type in the request array.</p>
+
+<p>Here is an example of a simple array with three parameters:</p>
+
+<code>$request = array('John', 'Doe', 'www.some-site.com');<br />
+$this->xmlrpc->request($request);</code>
+
+<p>If you use data types other than strings, or if you have several different data types, you will place
+each parameter into its own array, with the data type in the second position:</p>
+
+<code>
+$request = array (<br />
+ array('John', 'string'),<br />
+ array('Doe', 'string'),<br />
+ array(FALSE, 'boolean'),<br />
+ array(12345, 'int')<br />
+ );
+<br />
+$this->xmlrpc->request($request);</code>
+
+The <a href="#datatypes">Data Types</a> section below has a full list of data types.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>Creating an XML-RPC Server</h2>
+
+<p>An XML-RPC Server acts as a traffic cop of sorts, waiting for incoming requests and redirecting them to the
+appropriate functions for processing.</p>
+
+<p>To create your own XML-RPC server involves initializing the XML-RPC Server class in your controller where you expect the incoming
+request to appear, then setting up an array with mapping instructions so that incoming requests can be sent to the appropriate
+class and method for processing.</p>
+
+<p>Here is an example to illustrate:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('xmlrpcs');<br />
+<br />
+$config['functions']['<var>new_post</var>']; = array('function' => '<dfn>My_blog.new_entry</dfn>');<br />
+$config['functions']['<var>update_post</var>'] = array('function' => '<dfn>My_blog.update_entry</dfn>');<br />
+<br />
+$this->xmlrpcs->initialize($config);<br />
+$this->xmlrpcs->serve();</code>
+
+<p>The above example contains an array specifying two method requests that the Server allows.
+The allowed methods are on the left side of the array. When either of those are received, they will be mapped to the class and method on the right.
+
+<p>In other words, if an XML-RPC Client sends a request for the <var>new_post</var> method, your
+server will load the <dfn>My_blog</dfn> class and call the <dfn>new_entry</dfn> function.
+If the request is for the <var>update_post</var> method, your
+server will load the <dfn>My_blog</dfn> class and call the <dfn>update_entry</dfn> function.</p>
+
+<p>The function names in the above example are arbitrary. You'll decide what they should be called on your server,
+or if you are using standardized APIs, like the Blogger or MetaWeblog API, you'll use their function names.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Processing Server Requests</h2>
+
+<p>When the XML-RPC Server receives a request and loads the class/method for processing, it will pass
+an object to that method containing the data sent by the client.</p>
+
+<p>Using the above example, if the <var>new_post</var> method is requested, the server will expect a class
+to exist with this prototype:</p>
+
+<code>class <kbd>My_blog</kbd> extends Controller {<br />
+<br />
+ function <kbd>new_post</kbd>(<var>$request</var>)<br />
+ {<br />
+ <br />
+ }<br />
+}
+</code>
+
+<p>The <var>$request</var> variable is an object compiled by the Server, which contains the data sent by the XML-RPC Client.
+Using this object you will have access to the <em>request parameters</em> enabling you to process the request. When
+you are done you will send a <dfn>Response</dfn> back to the Client.<p>
+
+<p>Below is a real-world example, using the Blogger API. One of the methods in the Blogger API is <dfn>getUserInfo()</dfn>.
+Using this method, an XML-RPC Client can send the Server a username and password, in return the Server sends
+back information about that particular user (nickname, user ID, email address, etc.). Here is how the processing
+function might look:</p>
+
+
+<code>class <kbd>My_blog</kbd> extends Controller {<br />
+<br />
+ function <kbd>getUserInfo</kbd>(<var>$request</var>)<br />
+ {<br />
+
+ $username = 'smitty';<br />
+ $password = 'secretsmittypass';<br /><br />
+
+ $this->load->library('xmlrpc');<br />
+ <br />
+ $parameters = $request->output_parameters();<br />
+ <br />
+ if ($parameters['1'] != $username AND $parameters['2'] != $password)<br />
+ {<br />
+ return $this->xmlrpc->send_error_message('100', 'Invalid Access');<br />
+ }<br />
+ <br />
+ $response = array(array('nickname' => array('Smitty','string'),<br />
+ 'userid' => array('99','string'),<br />
+ 'url' => array('http://yoursite.com','string'),<br />
+ 'email' => array('jsmith@yoursite.com','string'),<br />
+ 'lastname' => array('Smith','string'),<br />
+ 'firstname' => array('John','string')<br />
+ ),<br />
+ 'struct');<br />
+<br />
+ $this->xmlrpc->send_response($response);<br />
+ }<br />
+}
+</code>
+
+<h3>Notes:</h3>
+<p>The <dfn>output_parameters()</dfn> function retrieves an indexed array corresponding to the request parameters sent by the client.
+In the above example, the output parameters will be the username and password.</p>
+
+<p>If the username and password sent by the client were not valid, and error message is returned using <dfn>send_error_message()</dfn>.</p>
+
+<p>If the operation was successful, the client will be sent back a response array containing the user's info.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Formatting a Response</h2>
+
+<p>Similar to <em>Requests</em>, <em>Responses</em> must be formatted as an array. However, unlike requests, a response is an array
+<strong>that contains a single item</strong>. This item can be an array with several additional arrays, but there
+can be only one primary array index. In other words, the basic prototype is this:</p>
+
+<code>$request = array('Response data', 'array');</code>
+
+<p>Responses, however, usually contain multiple pieces of information. In order to accomplish this we must put the response into its own
+array so that the primary array continues to contain a single piece of data. Here's an example showing how this might be accomplished:</p>
+
+<code>
+$request = array (<br />
+ array(<br />
+ 'first_name' => array('John', 'string'),<br />
+ 'last_name' => array('Doe', 'string'),<br />
+ 'member_id' => array(123435, 'int'),<br />
+ 'todo_list' => array(array('clean house', 'call mom', 'water plants'), 'array'),<br />
+ ),<br />
+ 'struct'<br />
+ );
+</code>
+
+<p class="important">Notice that the above array is formatted as a <dfn>struct</dfn>. This is the most common data type for responses.</p>
+
+<p>As with Requests, a response can be on of the seven data types listed in the <a href="#datatypes">Data Types</a> section.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Sending an Error Response</h2>
+
+<p>If you need to send the client an error response you will use the following:</p>
+
+<code>return $this->xmlrpc->send_error_message('123', 'Requested data not available');</code>
+
+<p>The first parameter is the error number while the second parameter is the error message.</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+
+<h2>Creating Your Own Client and Server</h2>
+
+<p>To help you understand everything we've covered thus far, let's create a couple controllers that act as
+XML-RPC Client and Server. You'll use the Client to send a request to the Server and receive a response.</p>
+
+<h3>The Client</h3>
+
+<p>Using a text editor, create a controller called <dfn>xmlrpc_client.php</dfn>.
+In it, place this code and save it to your <samp>applications/controllers/</samp> folder:</p>
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="32"><?php
+
+class Xmlrpc_client extends Controller {
+
+ function index()
+ {
+ $this->load->helper('url');
+ $server_url = site_url('xmlrpc_server');
+
+ $this->load->library('xmlrpc');
+
+ $this->xmlrpc->server($server_url, 80);
+ $this->xmlrpc->method('Greetings');
+
+ $request = array('How is it going?');
+ $this->xmlrpc->request($request);
+
+ if ( ! $this->xmlrpc->send_request())
+ {
+ echo $this->xmlrpc->display_error();
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ echo '<pre>';
+ print_r($this->xmlrpc->display_response());
+ echo '</pre>';
+ }
+ }
+}
+?></textarea>
+
+<p>Note: In the above code we are using a "url helper". You can find more information in the <a href="../general/helpers.html">Helpers Functions</a> page.</p>
+
+<h3>The Server</h3>
+
+<p>Using a text editor, create a controller called <dfn>xmlrpc_server.php</dfn>.
+In it, place this code and save it to your <samp>applications/controllers/</samp> folder:</p>
+
+<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="30"><?php
+
+class Xmlrpc_server extends Controller {
+
+ function index()
+ {
+ $this->load->library('xmlrpcs');
+
+ $config['functions']['Greetings'] = array('function' => 'Xmlrpc_server.process');
+
+ $this->xmlrpcs->initialize($config);
+ $this->xmlrpcs->serve();
+ }
+
+
+ function process($request)
+ {
+ $parameters = $request->output_parameters();
+
+ $response = array(
+ array(
+ 'you_said' => $parameters['0'],
+ 'i_respond' => 'Not bad at all.'),
+ 'struct');
+
+ return $this->xmlrpc->send_response($response);
+ }
+}
+?></textarea>
+
+<h3>Try it!</h3>
+
+<p>Now visit the your site using a URL similar to this:</p>
+<code>www.your-site.com/index.php/<var>xmlrpc_client</var>/</code>
+
+<p>You should now see the message you sent to the server, and its response back to you.</p>
+
+<p>The client you created sends a message ("How's is going?") to the server, along with a reqest for the "Greetings" method.
+The Server receives the request and maps it to the "process" function, where a response is sent back.</p>
+
+
+
+<p> </p>
+<h1>XML-RPC Function Reference</h1>
+
+<h2>$this->xmlrpc->server()</h2>
+<p>Sets the URL and port number of the server to which a request is to be sent:</p>
+<code>$this->xmlrpc->server('http://www.sometimes.com/pings.php', 80);</code>
+
+<h2>$this->xmlrpc->timeout()</h2>
+<p>Set a time out period (in seconds) after which the request will be canceled:</p>
+<code>$this->xmlrpc->timeout(6);</code>
+
+<h2>$this->xmlrpc->method()</h2>
+<p>Sets the method that will be requested from the XML-RPC server:</p>
+<code>$this->xmlrpc->method('<var>method</var>');</code>
+
+<p>Where <var>method</var> is the name of the method.</p>
+
+<h2>$this->xmlrpc->request()</h2>
+<p>Takes an array of data and builds request to be sent to XML-RPC server:</p>
+<code>$request = array(array('My Photoblog', 'string'), 'http://www.yoursite.com/photoblog/');<br />
+$this->xmlrpc->request($request);</code>
+
+<h2>$this->xmlrpc->send_request()</h2>
+<p>The request sending function. Returns boolean TRUE or FALSE based on success for failure, enabling it to be used conditionally.</p>
+
+<h2>$this->xmlrpc->set_debug(TRUE);</h2>
+<p>Enables debugging, which will display a variety of information and error data helpful during development.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->xmlrpc->display_error()</h2>
+<p>Returns an error message as a string if your request failed for some reason.</p>
+<code>echo $this->xmlrpc->display_error();</code>
+
+<h2>$this->xmlrpc->display_response()</h2>
+<p>Returns the response from the remote server once request is received. The response will typically be an associative array.</p>
+<code>$this->xmlrpc->display_response();</code>
+
+<h2>$this->xmlrpc->send_error_message()</h2>
+<p>This function lets you send an error message from your server to the client. First parameter is the error number while the second parameter
+is the error message.</p>
+<code>return $this->xmlrpc->send_error_message('123', 'Requested data not available');</code>
+
