To minimize the PHP code in these files, and to make it easier to identify the code blocks it is recommended that you use -PHPs alternative syntax for control structures and short tag echo statements. If you are not familiar with this syntax, it allows you to eliminate the braces from your code, -and eliminate "echo" statements.</p> - -<h2>Automatic Short Tag Support</h2> - -<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you find that the syntax described in this page does not work on your server it might -be that "short tags" are disabled in your PHP ini file. CodeIgniter will optionally rewrite short tags on-the-fly, -allowing you to use that syntax even if your server doesn't support it. This feature can be enabled in your -<dfn>config/config.php</dfn> file.</p> - -<p class="important">Please note that if you do use this feature, if PHP errors are encountered -in your <strong>view files</strong>, the error message and line number will not be accurately shown. Instead, all errors -will be shown as <kbd>eval()</kbd> errors.</p> - - -<h2>Alternative Echos</h2> - -<p>Normally to echo, or print out a variable you would do this:</p> - -<code><?php echo $variable; ?></code> - -<p>With the alternative syntax you can instead do it this way:</p> - -<code><?=$variable?></code> - - - -<h2>Alternative Control Structures</h2> - -<p>Controls structures, like <var>if</var>, <var>for</var>, <var>foreach</var>, and <var>while</var> can be -written in a simplified format as well. Here is an example using foreach:</p> - -<code> -<ul><br /> -<br /> -<var><?php foreach ($todo as $item): ?></var><br /> -<br /> -<li><var><?=$item?></var></li><br /> -<br /> -<var><?php endforeach; ?></var><br /> -<br /> -</ul></code> - -<p>Notice that there are no braces. Instead, the end brace is replaced with <var>endforeach</var>. -Each of the control structures listed above has a similar closing syntax: -<var>endif</var>, <var>endfor</var>, <var>endforeach</var>, and <var>endwhile</var></p> - -<p>Also notice that instead of using a semicolon after each structure (except the last one), there is a colon. This is -important!</p> - -<p>Here is another example, using if/elseif/else. Notice the colons:</p> - - -<code><var><?php if ($username == 'sally'): ?></var><br /> -<br /> - <h3>Hi Sally</h3><br /> -<br /> -<var><?php elseif ($username == 'joe'): ?></var><br /> -<br /> - <h3>Hi Joe</h3><br /> -<br /> -<var><?php else: ?></var><br /> -<br /> - <h3>Hi unknown user</h3><br /> -<br /> -<var><?php endif; ?></var></code> - - - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="managing_apps.html">Managing Applications</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="security.html">Security</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>

Using your text editor, create a file called <dfn>blog.php</dfn>, and put the following code in it:</p> - - -<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="10"> -<?php -class Blog extends CI_Controller { - - public function index() - { - echo 'Hello World!'; - } -} -?> -</textarea> - - - -<p>Then save the file to your <dfn>application/controllers/</dfn> folder.</p> - -<p>Now visit the your site using a URL similar to this:</p> - -<code>example.com/index.php/<var>blog</var>/</code> - -<p>If you did it right, you should see <samp>Hello World!</samp>.</p> - -<p>Note: Class names must start with an uppercase letter. In other words, this is valid:</p> - -<code><?php<br /> -class <var>Blog</var> extends CI_Controller {<br /> -<br /> -}<br /> -?></code> - -<p>This is <strong>not</strong> valid:</p> - -<code><?php<br /> -class <var>blog</var> extends CI_Controller {<br /> -<br /> -}<br /> -?></code> - -<p>Also, always make sure your controller <dfn>extends</dfn> the parent controller class so that it can inherit all its functions.</p> - - - -<a name="functions"></a> -<h2>Functions</h2> - -<p>In the above example the function name is <dfn>index()</dfn>. The "index" function is always loaded by default if the -<strong>second segment</strong> of the URI is empty. Another way to show your "Hello World" message would be this:</p> - -<code>example.com/index.php/<var>blog</var>/<samp>index</samp>/</code> - -<p><strong>The second segment of the URI determines which function in the controller gets called.</strong></p> - -<p>Let's try it. Add a new function to your controller:</p> - - -<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="15"> -<?php -class Blog extends CI_Controller { - - public function index() - { - echo 'Hello World!'; - } - - public function comments() - { - echo 'Look at this!'; - } -} -?> -</textarea> - -<p>Now load the following URL to see the <dfn>comment</dfn> function:</p> - -<code>example.com/index.php/<var>blog</var>/<samp>comments</samp>/</code> - -<p>You should see your new message.</p> - -<a name="passinguri"></a> -<h2>Passing URI Segments to your Functions</h2> - -<p>If your URI contains more then two segments they will be passed to your function as parameters.</p> - -<p>For example, lets say you have a URI like this:</p> - -<code>example.com/index.php/<var>products</var>/<samp>shoes</samp>/<kbd>sandals</kbd>/<dfn>123</dfn></code> - -<p>Your function will be passed URI segments 3 and 4 ("sandals" and "123"):</p> - -<code> -<?php<br /> -class Products extends CI_Controller {<br /> -<br /> - public function shoes($sandals, $id)<br /> - {<br /> - echo $sandals;<br /> - echo $id;<br /> - }<br /> -}<br /> -?> -</code> - -<p class="important"><strong>Important:</strong> If you are using the <a href="routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature, the segments -passed to your function will be the re-routed ones.</p> - - -<a name="default"></a> -<h2>Defining a Default Controller</h2> - -<p>CodeIgniter can be told to load a default controller when a URI is not present, -as will be the case when only your site root URL is requested. To specify a default controller, open -your <dfn>application/config/routes.php</dfn> file and set this variable:</p> - -<code>$route['default_controller'] = '<var>Blog</var>';</code> - -<p>Where <var>Blog</var> is the name of the controller class you want used. If you now load your main index.php file without -specifying any URI segments you'll see your Hello World message by default.</p> - - - -<a name="remapping"></a> -<h2>Remapping Function Calls</h2> - -<p>As noted above, the second segment of the URI typically determines which function in the controller gets called. -CodeIgniter permits you to override this behavior through the use of the <kbd>_remap()</kbd> function:</p> - -<code>public function _remap()<br /> -{<br /> - // Some code here...<br /> -}</code> - -<p class="important"><strong>Important:</strong> If your controller contains a function named <kbd>_remap()</kbd>, it will <strong>always</strong> -get called regardless of what your URI contains. It overrides the normal behavior in which the URI determines which function is called, -allowing you to define your own function routing rules.</p> - -<p>The overridden function call (typically the second segment of the URI) will be passed as a parameter to the <kbd>_remap()</kbd> function:</p> - -<code>public function _remap(<var>$method</var>)<br /> -{<br /> - if ($method == 'some_method')<br /> - {<br /> - $this->$method();<br /> - }<br /> - else<br /> - {<br /> - $this->default_method();<br /> - }<br /> -}</code> - -<p>Any extra segments after the method name are passed into <kbd>_remap()</kbd> as an optional second parameter. This array can be used in combination with PHP's <a href="http://php.net/call_user_func_array">call_user_func_array</a> to emulate CodeIgniter's default behavior.</p> - -<code>public function _remap($method, $params = array())<br /> -{<br /> - $method = 'process_'.$method;<br /> - if (method_exists($this, $method))<br /> - {<br /> - return call_user_func_array(array($this, $method), $params);<br /> - }<br /> - show_404();<br /> -}</code> - - -<a name="output"></a> -<h2>Processing Output</h2> - -<p>CodeIgniter has an output class that takes care of sending your final rendered data to the web browser automatically. More information on this can be found in the -<a href="views.html">Views</a> and <a href="../libraries/output.html">Output class</a> pages. In some cases, however, you might want to -post-process the finalized data in some way and send it to the browser yourself. CodeIgniter permits you to -add a function named <dfn>_output()</dfn> to your controller that will receive the finalized output data.</p> - -<p><strong>Important:</strong> If your controller contains a function named <kbd>_output()</kbd>, it will <strong>always</strong> -be called by the output class instead of echoing the finalized data directly. The first parameter of the function will contain the finalized output.</p> - -<p>Here is an example:</p> - -<code> -public function _output($output)<br /> -{<br /> - echo $output;<br /> -}</code> - -<p class="important">Please note that your <dfn>_output()</dfn> function will receive the data in its finalized state. Benchmark and memory usage data will be rendered, -cache files written (if you have caching enabled), and headers will be sent (if you use that <a href="../libraries/output.html">feature</a>) -before it is handed off to the _output() function.<br /> -<br /> -To have your controller's output cached properly, its <dfn>_output()</dfn> method can use:<br /> - -<code>if ($this->output->cache_expiration > 0)<br /> -{<br /> - $this->output->_write_cache($output);<br /> -}</code> - -If you are using this feature the page execution timer and memory usage stats might not be perfectly accurate -since they will not take into acccount any further processing you do. For an alternate way to control output <em>before</em> any of the final processing is done, please see -the available methods in the <a href="../libraries/output.html">Output Class</a>.</p> - -<a name="private"></a> -<h2>Private Functions</h2> - - -<p>In some cases you may want certain functions hidden from public access. To make a function private, simply add an -underscore as the name prefix and it will not be served via a URL request. For example, if you were to have a function like this:</p> - -<code> -private function _utility()<br /> -{<br /> - // some code<br /> -}</code> - -<p>Trying to access it via the URL, like this, will not work:</p> - -<code>example.com/index.php/<var>blog</var>/<samp>_utility</samp>/</code> - - - -<a name="subfolders"></a> -<h2>Organizing Your Controllers into Sub-folders</h2> - -<p>If you are building a large application you might find it convenient to organize your controllers into sub-folders. CodeIgniter permits you to do this.</p> - -<p>Simply create folders within your <dfn>application/controllers</dfn> directory and place your controller classes within them.</p> - -<p><strong>Note:</strong> When using this feature the first segment of your URI must specify the folder. For example, lets say you have a controller -located here:</p> - -<code>application/controllers/<kbd>products</kbd>/shoes.php</code> - -<p>To call the above controller your URI will look something like this:</p> - -<code>example.com/index.php/products/shoes/show/123</code> - -<p>Each of your sub-folders may contain a default controller which will be -called if the URL contains only the sub-folder. Simply name your default controller as specified in your -<dfn>application/config/routes.php</dfn> file</p> - - -<p>CodeIgniter also permits you to remap your URIs using its <a href="routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature.</p> - - -<h2><a name="constructors"></a>Class Constructors</h2> - - -<p>If you intend to use a constructor in any of your Controllers, you <strong>MUST</strong> place the following line of code in it:</p> - -<code>parent::__construct();</code> - -<p>The reason this line is necessary is because your local constructor will be overriding the one in the parent controller class so we need to manually call it.</p> - -<code> -<?php<br /> -class <kbd>Blog</kbd> extends CI_Controller {<br /> -<br /> - public function <kbd>__construct()</kbd><br /> - {<br /> - <var>parent::__construct();</var><br /> - // Your own constructor code<br /> - }<br /> -}<br /> -?></code> - -<p>Constructors are useful if you need to set some default values, or run a default process when your class is instantiated. -Constructors can't return a value, but they can do some default work.</p> - -<a name="reserved"></a> -<h2>Reserved Function Names</h2> - -<p>Since your controller classes will extend the main application controller you -must be careful not to name your functions identically to the ones used by that class, otherwise your local functions -will override them.

In this case, however, we will instead describe how you can create -your own libraries within your <dfn>application/libraries</dfn> directory in order to maintain separation between your local resources -and the global framework resources.</p> - -<p>As an added bonus, CodeIgniter permits your libraries to <kbd>extend</kbd> native classes if you simply need to add some functionality -to an existing library. Or you can even replace native libraries just by placing identically named versions in your <dfn>application/libraries</dfn> folder.</p> - -<p>In summary:</p> - -<ul> -<li>You can create entirely new libraries.</li> -<li>You can extend native libraries.</li> -<li>You can replace native libraries.</li> -</ul> - -<p>The page below explains these three concepts in detail.</p> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The Database classes can not be extended or replaced with your own classes. All other classes are able to be replaced/extended.</p> - - -<h2>Storage</h2> - -<p>Your library classes should be placed within your <dfn>application/libraries</dfn> folder, as this is where CodeIgniter will look for them when -they are initialized.</p> - - -<h2>Naming Conventions</h2> - -<ul> -<li>File names must be capitalized. For example: <dfn>Myclass.php</dfn></li> -<li>Class declarations must be capitalized. For example: <kbd>class Myclass</kbd></li> -<li>Class names and file names must match.</li> -</ul> - - -<h2>The Class File</h2> - -<p>Classes should have this basic prototype (Note: We are using the name <kbd>Someclass</kbd> purely as an example):</p> - -<code><?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); -<br /><br /> -class Someclass {<br /> -<br /> - public function some_function()<br /> - {<br /> - }<br /> -}<br /><br /> -/* End of file Someclass.php */</code> - - -<h2>Using Your Class</h2> - -<p>From within any of your <a href="controllers.html">Controller</a> functions you can initialize your class using the standard:</p> - -<code>$this->load->library('<kbd>someclass</kbd>');</code> - -<p>Where <em>someclass</em> is the file name, without the ".php" file extension. You can submit the file name capitalized or lower case. -CodeIgniter doesn't care.</p> - -<p>Once loaded you can access your class using the <kbd>lower case</kbd> version:</p> - -<code>$this-><kbd>someclass</kbd>->some_function(); // Object instances will always be lower case -</code> - - - -<h2>Passing Parameters When Initializing Your Class</h2> - -<p>In the library loading function you can dynamically pass data as an array via the second parameter and it will be passed to your class -constructor:</p> - -<code> -$params = array('type' => 'large', 'color' => 'red');<br /> -<br /> -$this->load->library('Someclass', <kbd>$params</kbd>);</code> - -<p>If you use this feature you must set up your class constructor to expect data:</p> - -<code><?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');<br /> -<br /> -class Someclass {<br /> -<br /> - public function __construct($params)<br /> - {<br /> - // Do something with $params<br /> - }<br /> -}<br /><br /> -?></code> - -<p class="important">You can also pass parameters stored in a config file. Simply create a config file named identically to the class <kbd>file name</kbd> -and store it in your <dfn>application/config/</dfn> folder. Note that if you dynamically pass parameters as described above, -the config file option will not be available.</p> - - - - - - - -<h2>Utilizing CodeIgniter Resources within Your Library</h2> - - -<p>To access CodeIgniter's native resources within your library use the <kbd>get_instance()</kbd> function. -This function returns the CodeIgniter super object.</p> - -<p>Normally from within your controller functions you will call any of the available CodeIgniter functions using the <kbd>$this</kbd> construct:</p> - -<code> -<strong>$this</strong>->load->helper('url');<br /> -<strong>$this</strong>->load->library('session');<br /> -<strong>$this</strong>->config->item('base_url');<br /> -etc. -</code> - -<p><kbd>$this</kbd>, however, only works directly within your controllers, your models, or your views. -If you would like to use CodeIgniter's classes from within your own custom classes you can do so as follows:</p> - - -<p>First, assign the CodeIgniter object to a variable:</p> - -<code>$CI =& get_instance();</code> - -<p>Once you've assigned the object to a variable, you'll use that variable <em>instead</em> of <kbd>$this</kbd>:</p> - -<code> -$CI =& get_instance();<br /> -<br /> -$CI->load->helper('url');<br /> -$CI->load->library('session');<br /> -$CI->config->item('base_url');<br /> -etc. -</code> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> You'll notice that the above get_instance() function is being passed by reference: -<br /><br /> -<var>$CI =& get_instance();</var> -<br /> -<br /> -<kbd>This is very important.</kbd> Assigning by reference allows you to use the original CodeIgniter object rather than creating a copy of it.</p> - - -<h2>Replacing Native Libraries with Your Versions</h2> - -<p>Simply by naming your class files identically to a native library will cause CodeIgniter to use it instead of the native one. To use this -feature you must name the file and the class declaration exactly the same as the native library. For example, to replace the native <kbd>Email</kbd> library -you'll create a file named <dfn>application/libraries/Email.php</dfn>, and declare your class with:</p> - -<code> -class CI_Email {<br /><br /> - -}</code> - -<p>Note that most native classes are prefixed with <kbd>CI_</kbd>.</p> - -<p>To load your library you'll see the standard loading function:</p> - -<code>$this->load->library('<kbd>email</kbd>');</code> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> At this time the Database classes can not be replaced with your own versions.</p> - - -<h2>Extending Native Libraries</h2> - -<p>If all you need to do is add some functionality to an existing library - perhaps add a function or two - then -it's overkill to replace the entire library with your version. In this case it's better to simply extend the class. -Extending a class is nearly identical to replacing a class with a couple exceptions:</p> - -<ul> -<li>The class declaration must extend the parent class.</li> -<li>Your new class name and filename must be prefixed with <kbd>MY_</kbd> (this item is configurable. See below.).</li> -</ul> - -<p>For example, to extend the native <kbd>Email</kbd> class you'll create a file named <dfn>application/libraries/</dfn><kbd>MY_Email.php</kbd>, and declare your class with:</p> - -<code> -class MY_Email extends CI_Email {<br /><br /> - -}</code> - -<p>Note: If you need to use a constructor in your class make sure you extend the parent constructor:</p> - - -<code> -class MY_Email extends CI_Email {<br /> -<br /> - public function __construct()<br /> - {<br /> - parent::__construct();<br /> - }<br /> -}</code> - - -<h3>Loading Your Sub-class</h3> - -<p>To load your sub-class you'll use the standard syntax normally used. DO NOT include your prefix. For example, -to load the example above, which extends the Email class, you will use:</p> - -<code>$this->load->library('<kbd>email</kbd>');</code> - -<p>Once loaded you will use the class variable as you normally would for the class you are extending. In the case of -the email class all calls will use:</p> - - -<code>$this-><kbd>email</kbd>->some_function();</code> - - -<h3>Setting Your Own Prefix</h3> - -<p>To set your own sub-class prefix, open your <dfn>application/config/config.php</dfn> file and look for this item:</p> - -<code>$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';</code> - -<p>Please note that all native CodeIgniter libraries are prefixed with <kbd>CI_</kbd> so DO NOT use that as your prefix.</p> - - - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="libraries.html">Using CodeIgniter Libraries</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="drivers.html">Using CodeIgniter Drivers</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>

Each helper file is simply a collection of functions in a particular -category. There are <dfn>URL Helpers</dfn>, that assist in creating links, there are <dfn>Form Helpers</dfn> -that help you create form elements, <dfn>Text Helpers</dfn> perform various text formatting routines, -<dfn>Cookie Helpers</dfn> set and read cookies, <dfn>File Helpers</dfn> help you deal with files, etc. -</p> - -<p>Unlike most other systems in CodeIgniter, Helpers are not written in an Object Oriented format. They are simple, procedural functions. -Each helper function performs one specific task, with no dependence on other functions.</p> - -<p>CodeIgniter does not load Helper Files by default, so the first step in using -a Helper is to load it. Once loaded, it becomes globally available in your <a href="../general/controllers.html">controller</a> and <a href="../general/views.html">views</a>.</p> - -<p>Helpers are typically stored in your <dfn>system/helpers</dfn>, or <dfn>application/helpers </dfn>directory. CodeIgniter will look first in your <dfn>application/helpers</dfn> -directory. If the directory does not exist or the specified helper is not located there CI will instead look in your global -<dfn>system/helpers</dfn> folder.</p> - - -<h2>Loading a Helper</h2> - -<p>Loading a helper file is quite simple using the following function:</p> - -<code>$this->load->helper('<var>name</var>');</code> - -<p>Where <var>name</var> is the file name of the helper, without the .php file extension or the "helper" part.</p> - -<p>For example, to load the <dfn>URL Helper</dfn> file, which is named <var>url_helper.php</var>, you would do this:</p> - -<code>$this->load->helper('<var>url</var>');</code> - -<p>A helper can be loaded anywhere within your controller functions (or even within your View files, although that's not a good practice), -as long as you load it before you use it. You can load your helpers in your controller constructor so that they become available -automatically in any function, or you can load a helper in a specific function that needs it.</p> - -<p class="important">Note: The Helper loading function above does not return a value, so don't try to assign it to a variable. Just use it as shown.</p> - - -<h2>Loading Multiple Helpers</h2> - -<p>If you need to load more than one helper you can specify them in an array, like this:</p> - -<code>$this->load->helper( <samp>array(</samp>'<var>helper1</var>', '<var>helper2</var>', '<var>helper3</var>'<samp>)</samp> );</code> - -<h2>Auto-loading Helpers</h2> - -<p>If you find that you need a particular helper globally throughout your application, you can tell CodeIgniter to auto-load it during system initialization. -This is done by opening the <var>application/config/autoload.php</var> file and adding the helper to the autoload array.</p> - - -<h2>Using a Helper</h2> - -<p>Once you've loaded the Helper File containing the function you intend to use, you'll call it the way you would a standard PHP function.</p> - -<p>For example, to create a link using the <dfn>anchor()</dfn> function in one of your view files you would do this:</p> - -<code><?php echo anchor('blog/comments', 'Click Here');?></code> - -<p>Where "Click Here" is the name of the link, and "blog/comments" is the URI to the controller/function you wish to link to.</p> - -<h2>"Extending" Helpers</h2> - -<p>To "extend" Helpers, create a file in your <dfn>application/helpers/</dfn> folder with an identical name to the existing Helper, but prefixed with <kbd>MY_</kbd> (this item is configurable. See below.).</p> - -<p>If all you need to do is add some functionality to an existing helper - perhaps add a function or two, or change how a particular - helper function operates - then it's overkill to replace the entire helper with your version. In this case it's better to simply - "extend" the Helper. The term "extend" is used loosely since Helper functions are procedural and discrete and cannot be extended - in the traditional programmatic sense. Under the hood, this gives you the ability to add to the functions a Helper provides, - or to modify how the native Helper functions operate.</p> - -<p>For example, to extend the native <kbd>Array Helper</kbd> you'll create a file named <dfn>application/helpers/</dfn><kbd>MY_array_helper.php</kbd>, and add or override functions:</p> - -<code> -// any_in_array() is not in the Array Helper, so it defines a new function<br /> -function any_in_array($needle, $haystack)<br /> -{<br /> - $needle = (is_array($needle)) ? $needle : array($needle);<br /> - <br /> - foreach ($needle as $item)<br /> - {<br /> - if (in_array($item, $haystack))<br /> - {<br /> - return TRUE;<br /> - }<br /> - }<br /> - <br /> - return FALSE;<br /> -}<br /> -<br /> -// random_element() is included in Array Helper, so it overrides the native function<br /> -function random_element($array)<br /> -{<br /> - shuffle($array);<br /> - return array_pop($array);<br /> -}<br /> -</code> - -<h3>Setting Your Own Prefix</h3> - -<p>The filename prefix for "extending" Helpers is the same used to extend libraries and Core classes. To set your own prefix, open your <dfn>application/config/config.php</dfn> file and look for this item:</p> - -<code>$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';</code> - -<p>Please note that all native CodeIgniter libraries are prefixed with <kbd>CI_</kbd> so DO NOT use that as your prefix.</p> - - -<h2>Now What?</h2> - -<p>In the Table of Contents you'll find a list of all the available Helper Files. Browse each one to see what they do.</p> - - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="models.html">Models</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="libraries.html">Using Libraries</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>

In it you'll see an array called <dfn>$route</dfn> that -permits you to specify your own routing criteria. Routes can either be specified using <dfn>wildcards</dfn> or <dfn>Regular Expressions</dfn></p> - - -<h2>Wildcards</h2> - -<p>A typical wildcard route might look something like this:</p> - -<code>$route['product/:num'] = "catalog/product_lookup";</code> - -<p>In a route, the array key contains the URI to be matched, while the array value contains the destination it should be re-routed to. -In the above example, if the literal word "product" is found in the first segment of the URL, and a number is found in the second segment, -the "catalog" class and the "product_lookup" method are instead used.</p> - -<p>You can match literal values or you can use two wildcard types:</p> - -<p><strong>(:num)</strong> will match a segment containing only numbers.<br /> -<strong>(:any)</strong> will match a segment containing any character. -</p> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Routes will run in the order they are defined. -Higher routes will always take precedence over lower ones.</p> - -<h2>Examples</h2> - -<p>Here are a few routing examples:</p> - -<code>$route['journals'] = "blogs";</code> -<p>A URL containing the word "journals" in the first segment will be remapped to the "blogs" class.</p> - -<code>$route['blog/joe'] = "blogs/users/34";</code> -<p>A URL containing the segments blog/joe will be remapped to the "blogs" class and the "users" method. The ID will be set to "34".</p> - -<code>$route['product/(:any)'] = "catalog/product_lookup";</code> -<p>A URL with "product" as the first segment, and anything in the second will be remapped to the "catalog" class and the "product_lookup" method.</p> - -<code>$route['product/(:num)'] = "catalog/product_lookup_by_id/$1";</code> -<p>A URL with "product" as the first segment, and a number in the second will be remapped to the "catalog" class and the "product_lookup_by_id" method passing in the match as a variable to the function.</p> - -<p class="important"><strong>Important:</strong> Do not use leading/trailing slashes.</p> - -<h2>Regular Expressions</h2> - -<p>If you prefer you can use regular expressions to define your routing rules. Any valid regular expression is allowed, as are back-references.</p> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> If you use back-references you must use the dollar syntax rather than the double backslash syntax.</p> - -<p>A typical RegEx route might look something like this:</p> - -<code>$route['products/([a-z]+)/(\d+)'] = "$1/id_$2";</code> - -<p>In the above example, a URI similar to <dfn>products/shirts/123</dfn> would instead call the <dfn>shirts</dfn> controller class and the <dfn>id_123</dfn> function.</p> - -<p>You can also mix and match wildcards with regular expressions.</p> - -<h2>Reserved Routes</h2> - -<p>There are two reserved routes:</p> - -<code>$route['default_controller'] = 'welcome';</code> - -<p>This route indicates which controller class should be loaded if the URI contains no data, which will be the case -when people load your root URL. In the above example, the "welcome" class would be loaded.

URIs may only contain the following: -</p> - -<ul> -<li>Alpha-numeric text</li> -<li>Tilde: ~ </li> -<li>Period: .</li> -<li>Colon: :</li> -<li>Underscore: _</li> -<li>Dash: -</li> -</ul> - -<h2>GET, POST, and COOKIE Data</h2> - -<p>GET data is simply disallowed by CodeIgniter since the system utilizes URI segments rather than traditional URL query strings (unless -you have the query string option enabled in your config file). The global GET -array is <strong>unset</strong> by the Input class during system initialization.</p> - -<h2>Register_globals</h2> - -<p>During system initialization all global variables are unset, except those found in the $_POST and $_COOKIE arrays. The unsetting -routine is effectively the same as register_globals = off.</p> - -<a name="error_reporting"></a> -<h2>error_reporting</h2> - -<p> - In production environments, it is typically desirable to disable PHP's - error reporting by setting the internal error_reporting flag to a value of 0. This disables native PHP - errors from being rendered as output, which may potentially contain - sensitive information. -</p> - -<p> - Setting CodeIgniter's <kbd>ENVIRONMENT</kbd> constant in index.php to a - value of '<kbd>production</kbd>' will turn off these errors.

However, if used, any whitespace following the closing tag, whether introduced - by the developer, user, or an FTP application, can cause unwanted output, PHP errors, or if the latter are suppressed, blank pages. For this reason, all PHP files should - <strong>OMIT</strong> the closing PHP tag, and instead use a comment block to mark the end of file and it's location relative to the application root. - This allows you to still identify a file as being complete and not truncated.</p> -<code><strong>INCORRECT</strong>: -<?php - -echo "Here's my code!"; - -?> - -<strong>CORRECT</strong>: -<?php - -echo "Here's my code!"; - -/* End of file myfile.php */ -/* Location: ./system/modules/mymodule/myfile.php */ -</code> - </div> - - - <h2><a name="class_and_method_naming"></a>Class and Method Naming</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>Class names should always start with an uppercase letter. Multiple words should be separated with an underscore, and not CamelCased. All other class methods should be entirely lowercased and named to clearly indicate their function, preferably including a verb. Try to avoid overly long and verbose names.</p> - - <code><strong>INCORRECT</strong>: -class superclass -class SuperClass - -<strong>CORRECT</strong>: -class Super_class</code> - - - <code>class Super_class { - - function __construct() - { - - } -}</code> - - <p>Examples of improper and proper method naming:</p> - - <code><strong>INCORRECT</strong>: -function fileproperties() // not descriptive and needs underscore separator -function fileProperties() // not descriptive and uses CamelCase -function getfileproperties() // Better!

Namely, variables should contain only lowercase letters, use underscore separators, and be reasonably named to indicate their purpose and contents. Very short, non-word variables should only be used as iterators in for() loops.</p> -<code><strong>INCORRECT</strong>: -$j = 'foo'; // single letter variables should only be used in for() loops -$Str // contains uppercase letters -$bufferedText // uses CamelCasing, and could be shortened without losing semantic meaning -$groupid // multiple words, needs underscore separator -$name_of_last_city_used // too long - -<strong>CORRECT</strong>: -for ($j = 0; $j < 10; $j++) -$str -$buffer -$group_id -$last_city -</code> - </div> - - - <h2><a name="commenting"></a>Commenting</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>In general, code should be commented prolifically. It not only helps describe the flow and intent of the code for less experienced programmers, but can prove invaluable when returning to your own code months down the line. There is not a required format for comments, but the following are recommended.</p> - - <p><a href="http://manual.phpdoc.org/HTMLSmartyConverter/HandS/phpDocumentor/tutorial_phpDocumentor.howto.pkg.html#basics.docblock">DocBlock</a> style comments preceding class and method declarations so they can be picked up by IDEs:</p> - -<code>/** - * Super Class - * - * @package Package Name - * @subpackage Subpackage - * @category Category - * @author Author Name - * @link http://example.com - */ -class Super_class {</code> - -<code>/** - * Encodes string for use in XML - * - * @access public - * @param string - * @return string - */ -function xml_encode($str)</code> - - <p>Use single line comments within code, leaving a blank line between large comment blocks and code.</p> - -<code>// break up the string by newlines -$parts = explode("\n", $str); - -// A longer comment that needs to give greater detail on what is -// occurring and why can use multiple single-line comments.

Be explicit by comparing the variable type when using these return values in conditionals to ensure the return value is indeed what you expect, and not a value that has an equivalent loose-type evaluation.</p> - <p>Use the same stringency in returning and checking your own variables. Use <strong>===</strong> and <strong>!==</strong> as necessary. - -<code><strong>INCORRECT</strong>: -// If 'foo' is at the beginning of the string, strpos will return a 0, -// resulting in this conditional evaluating as TRUE -if (strpos($str, 'foo') == FALSE) - -<strong>CORRECT</strong>: -if (strpos($str, 'foo') === FALSE) -</code> - -<code><strong>INCORRECT</strong>: -function build_string($str = "") -{ - if ($str == "") // uh-oh!

Typecasting has a slightly different effect which may be desirable. When casting a variable as a string, for instance, NULL and boolean FALSE variables become empty strings, 0 (and other numbers) become strings of digits, and boolean TRUE becomes "1":</p> - -<code>$str = (string) $str; // cast $str as a string</code> - - </div> - - - <h2><a name="debugging_code"></a>Debugging Code</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>No debugging code can be left in place for submitted add-ons unless it is commented out, i.e. no var_dump(), print_r(), die(), and exit() calls that were used while creating the add-on, unless they are commented out.</p> - -<code>// print_r($foo);</code> - </div> - - - - <h2><a name="whitespace_in_files"></a>Whitespace in Files</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>No whitespace can precede the opening PHP tag or follow the closing PHP tag. Output is buffered, so whitespace in your files can cause output to begin before CodeIgniter outputs its content, leading to errors and an inability for CodeIgniter to send proper headers. In the examples below, select the text with your mouse to reveal the incorrect whitespace.</p> - - <p><strong>INCORRECT</strong>:</p> -<code> -<?php - // ...there is whitespace and a linebreak above the opening PHP tag - // as well as whitespace after the closing PHP tag -?> -</code> - <p><strong>CORRECT</strong>:</p> -<code><?php - // this sample has no whitespace before or after the opening and closing PHP tags -?></code> - - </div> - - - <h2><a name="compatibility"></a>Compatibility</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>Unless specifically mentioned in your add-on's documentation, all code must be compatible with PHP version 4.3+. Additionally, do not use PHP functions that require non-default libraries to be installed unless your code contains an alternative method when the function is not available, or you implicitly document that your add-on requires said PHP libraries.</p> - </div> - - - - <h2><a name="class_and_file_names_using_common_words"></a>Class and File Names using Common Words</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>When your class or filename is a common word, or might quite likely be identically named in another PHP script, provide a unique prefix to help prevent collision. Always realize that your end users may be running other add-ons or third party PHP scripts. Choose a prefix that is unique to your identity as a developer or company.</p> - -<code><strong>INCORRECT</strong>: -class Email pi.email.php -class Xml ext.xml.php -class Import mod.import.php - -<strong>CORRECT</strong>: -class Pre_email pi.pre_email.php -class Pre_xml ext.pre_xml.php -class Pre_import mod.pre_import.php -</code> - </div> - - - <h2><a name="database_table_names"></a>Database Table Names</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>Any tables that your add-on might use must use the 'exp_' prefix, followed by a prefix uniquely identifying you as the developer or company, and then a short descriptive table name. You do not need to be concerned about the database prefix being used on the user's installation, as CodeIgniter's database class will automatically convert 'exp_' to what is actually being used.</p> - -<code><strong>INCORRECT</strong>: -email_addresses // missing both prefixes -pre_email_addresses // missing exp_ prefix -exp_email_addresses // missing unique prefix - -<strong>CORRECT</strong>: -exp_pre_email_addresses -</code> - - <p class="important"><strong>NOTE:</strong> Be mindful that MySQL has a limit of 64 characters for table names. This should not be an issue as table names that would exceed this would likely have unreasonable names. For instance, the following table name exceeds this limitation by one character. Silly, no? <strong>exp_pre_email_addresses_of_registered_users_in_seattle_washington</strong> - </div> - - - - <h2><a name="one_file_per_class"></a>One File per Class</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>Use separate files for each class your add-on uses, unless the classes are <em>closely related</em>. An example of CodeIgniter files that contains multiple classes is the Database class file, which contains both the DB class and the DB_Cache class, and the Magpie plugin, which contains both the Magpie and Snoopy classes.</p> - </div> - - - - <h2><a name="whitespace"></a>Whitespace</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>Use tabs for whitespace in your code, not spaces. This may seem like a small thing, but using tabs instead of whitespace allows the developer looking at your code to have indentation at levels that they prefer and customize in whatever application they use. And as a side benefit, it results in (slightly) more compact files, storing one tab character versus, say, four space characters.</p> - </div> - - - - <h2><a name="line_breaks"></a>Line Breaks</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>Files must be saved with Unix line breaks. This is more of an issue for developers who work in Windows, but in any case ensure that your text editor is setup to save files with Unix line breaks.</p> - </div> - - - - <h2><a name="code_indenting"></a>Code Indenting</h2> - <div class="guidelineDetails"> - <p>Use Allman style indenting.

Rather than using the standard "query string" -approach to URLs that is synonymous with dynamic systems, CodeIgniter uses a <strong>segment-based</strong> approach:</p> - -<code>example.com/<var>news</var>/<dfn>article</dfn>/<samp>my_article</samp></code> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Query string URLs can be optionally enabled, as described below.</p> - -<h2>URI Segments</h2> - -<p>The segments in the URL, in following with the Model-View-Controller approach, usually represent:</p> - -<code>example.com/<var>class</var>/<dfn>function</dfn>/<samp>ID</samp></code> - -<ol> -<li>The first segment represents the controller <strong>class</strong> that should be invoked.</li> -<li>The second segment represents the class <strong>function</strong>, or method, that should be called.</li> -<li>The third, and any additional segments, represent the ID and any variables that will be passed to the controller.</li> -</ol> - -<p>The <a href="../libraries/uri.html">URI Class</a> and the <a href="../helpers/url_helper.html">URL Helper</a> -contain functions that make it easy to work with your URI data. In addition, your URLs can be remapped using the -<a href="routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature for more flexibility.</p> - - - -<h2>Removing the index.php file</h2> - -<p>By default, the <strong>index.php</strong> file will be included in your URLs:</p> - -<code>example.com/<var>index.php</var>/news/article/my_article</code> - -<p>You can easily remove this file by using a .htaccess file with some simple rules. Here is an example - of such a file, using the "negative" method in which everything is redirected except the specified items:</p> - -<code>RewriteEngine on<br /> -RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)<br /> -RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]</code> - -<p>In the above example, any HTTP request other than those for index.php, images, and robots.txt is treated as -a request for your index.php file.</p> - - -<h2>Adding a URL Suffix</h2> - -<p>In your <dfn>config/config.php</dfn> file you can specify a suffix that will be added to all URLs generated -by CodeIgniter. For example, if a URL is this:</p> - -<code>example.com/index.php/products/view/shoes</code> - -<p>You can optionally add a suffix, like <kbd>.html</kbd>, making the page appear to be of a certain type:</p> - -<code>example.com/index.php/products/view/shoes.html</code> - - -<h2>Enabling Query Strings</h2> - -<p>In some cases you might prefer to use query strings URLs:</p> - -<code>index.php?c=products&m=view&id=345</code> - -<p>CodeIgniter optionally supports this capability, which can be enabled in your <dfn>application/config.php</dfn> file. If you -open your config file you'll see these items:</p> - -<code>$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;<br /> -$config['controller_trigger'] = 'c';<br /> -$config['function_trigger'] = 'm';</code> - -<p>If you change "enable_query_strings" to TRUE this feature will become active.

Remember that in an MVC framework, the Controller acts as the -traffic cop, so it is responsible for fetching a particular view. If you have not read the <a href="controllers.html">Controllers</a> page -you should do so before continuing.</p> - -<p>Using the example controller you created in the <a href="controllers.html">controller</a> page, let's add a view to it.</p> - -<h2>Creating a View</h2> - -<p>Using your text editor, create a file called <dfn>blogview.php</dfn>, and put this in it:</p> - -<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="10"> -<html> -<head> -<title>My Blog</title> -</head> -<body> - <h1>Welcome to my Blog!</h1> -</body> -</html> -</textarea> - -<p>Then save the file in your <dfn>application/views/</dfn> folder.</p> - -<h2>Loading a View</h2> - -<p>To load a particular view file you will use the following function:</p> - -<code>$this->load->view('<var>name</var>');</code> - -<p>Where <var>name</var> is the name of your view file. Note: The .php file extension does not need to be specified unless you use something other than <kbd>.php</kbd>.</p> - - -<p>Now, open the controller file you made earlier called <dfn>blog.php</dfn>, and replace the echo statement with the view loading function:</p> - - -<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="10"> -<?php -class Blog extends CI_Controller { - - function index() - { - $this->load->view('blogview'); - } -} -?> -</textarea> - - -<p>If you visit your site using the URL you did earlier you should see your new view. The URL was similar to this:</p> - -<code>example.com/index.php/<var>blog</var>/</code> - -<h2>Loading multiple views</h2> -<p>CodeIgniter will intelligently handle multiple calls to $this->load->view from within a controller. If more than one call happens they will be appended together. For example, you may wish to have a header view, a menu view, a content view, and a footer view. That might look something like this:</p> -<p><code><?php<br /> -<br /> -class Page extends CI_Controller {<br /><br /> - - function index()<br /> - {<br /> - $data['page_title'] = 'Your title';<br /> - $this->load->view('header');<br /> - $this->load->view('menu');<br /> - $this->load->view('content', $data);<br /> - $this->load->view('footer');<br /> - }<br /> -<br /> -}<br /> - ?></code></p> -<p>In the example above, we are using "dynamically added data", which you will see below.</p> -<h2>Storing Views within Sub-folders</h2> -<p>Your view files can also be stored within sub-folders if you prefer that type of organization. When doing so you will need -to include the folder name loading the view. Example:</p> - -<code>$this->load->view('<kbd>folder_name</kbd>/<var>file_name</var>');</code> - - -<h2>Adding Dynamic Data to the View</h2> - -<p>Data is passed from the controller to the view by way of an <strong>array</strong> or an <strong>object</strong> in the second -parameter of the view loading function. Here is an example using an array:</p> - -<code>$data = array(<br /> - 'title' => 'My Title',<br /> - 'heading' => 'My Heading',<br /> - 'message' => 'My Message'<br /> - );<br /> -<br /> -$this->load->view('blogview', <var>$data</var>);</code> - -<p>And here's an example using an object:</p> - -<code>$data = new Someclass();<br /> -$this->load->view('blogview', <var>$data</var>);</code> - -<p>Note: If you use an object, the class variables will be turned into array elements.</p> - - -<p>Let's try it with your controller file. Open it add this code:</p> - -<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="14"> -<?php -class Blog extends CI_Controller { - - function index() - { - $data['title'] = "My Real Title"; - $data['heading'] = "My Real Heading"; - - $this->load->view('blogview', $data); - } -} -?> -</textarea> - - -<p>Now open your view file and change the text to variables that correspond to the array keys in your data:</p> - - -<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="10"> -<html> -<head> -<title><?php echo $title;?></title> -</head> -<body> - <h1><?php echo $heading;?></h1> -</body> -</html> -</textarea> - -<p>Then load the page at the URL you've been using and you should see the variables replaced.</p> - -<h2>Creating Loops</h2> - -<p>The data array you pass to your view files is not limited to simple variables. You can -pass multi dimensional arrays, which can be looped to generate multiple rows. For example, if you -pull data from your database it will typically be in the form of a multi-dimensional array.</p> - -<p>Here's a simple example. Add this to your controller:</p> - -<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="17"> -<?php -class Blog extends CI_Controller { - - function index() - { - $data['todo_list'] = array('Clean House', 'Call Mom', 'Run Errands'); - - $data['title'] = "My Real Title"; - $data['heading'] = "My Real Heading"; - - $this->load->view('blogview', $data); - } -} -?> -</textarea> - - -<p>Now open your view file and create a loop:</p> - - -<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="24"> -<html> -<head> -<title><?php echo $title;?></title> -</head> -<body> -<h1><?php echo $heading;?></h1> - -<h3>My Todo List</h3> - -<ul> -<?php foreach ($todo_list as $item):?> - -<li><?php echo $item;?></li> - -<?php endforeach;?> -</ul> - -</body> -</html> -</textarea> -<p><strong>Note:</strong> You'll notice that in the example above we are using PHP's alternative syntax. If you -are not familiar with it you can read about it <a href="alternative_php.html">here</a>.</p> - -<h2>Returning views as data</h2> - -<p>There is a third <strong>optional</strong> parameter lets you change the behavior of the function so that it returns data as a string -rather than sending it to your browser. This can be useful if you want to process the data in some way. If you -set the parameter to <kbd>true</kbd> (boolean) it will return data. The default behavior is <kbd>false</kbd>, which sends it -to your browser. Remember to assign it to a variable if you want the data returned:</p> - -<code>$string = $this->load->view('<var>myfile</var>', '', <kbd>true</kbd>);</code> - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="reserved_names.html">Reserved Names</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="models.html">Models</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>
