Using your text editor, create a file called <dfn>tools.php</dfn>, and put the following code in it:</p> - -<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="10"> -<?php -class Tools extends CI_Controller { - - public function message($to = 'World') - { - echo "Hello {$to}!".PHP_EOL; - } -} -?> -</textarea> - -<p>Then save the file to your <dfn>application/controllers/</dfn> folder.</p> - -<p>Now normally you would visit the your site using a URL similar to this:</p> - -<code>example.com/index.php/<var>tools</var>/<var>message</var>/<var>to</var></code> - -<p>Instead, we are going to open Terminal in Mac/Lunix or go to Run > "cmd" in Windows and navigate to our CodeIgniter project.</p> - -<blockquote> - $ cd /path/to/project;<br /> - $ php index.php tools message -</blockquote> - -<p>If you did it right, you should see <samp>Hello World!</samp>.</p> - -<blockquote> - $ php index.php tools message "John Smith" -</blockquote> - -<p>Here we are passing it a argument in the same way that URL parameters work. "John Smith" is passed as a argument and output is: <samp>Hello John Smith!</samp>.</p> - -<h2>That's it!</h2> - -<p>That, in a nutshell, is all there is to know about controllers on the command line. Remember that this is just a normal controller, so routing and _remap works fine.</p> - - - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="profiling.html">Profiling Your Application</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="managing_apps.html">Managing Applications</a></p> -<p><a href="http://codeigniter.com">CodeIgniter</a> · Copyright © 2006 - 2011 · <a href="http://ellislab.com/">EllisLab, Inc.</a></p> -</div> - -</body> -</html> |
