-CodeIgniter 2 Tutorial
-======================
-
-Our header doesn't do anything exciting. It contains the basic HTML code
-that we will want to display before loading the main view. You can also
-see that we echo the $title variable, which we didn't define. We will
-set this variable in the Pages controller a bit later. Let's go ahead
-and create a footer at application/views/templates/footer.php that
-includes the following code.

-Adding logic to the controller
-------------------------------
-
-Now we've set up the basics so we can finally do some real programming.
-Earlier we set up our controller with a view method. Because we don't
-want to write a separate method for every page, we made the view method
-accept one parameter, the name of the page. These hard coded pages will
-be located in application/views/pages/. Create two files in this
-directory named home.php and about.php and put in some HTML content.
-
-In order to load these pages we'll have to check whether these page
-actually exists. When the page does exist, we load the view for that
-pages, including the header and footer and display it to the user. If it
-doesn't, we show a "404 Page not found" error.
-
-public function view($page = 'home') { if ( !
-file\_exists('application/views/pages/' . $page . EXT)) { show\_404(); }
-$data['title'] = ucfirst($page); $this->load->view('templates/header',
-$data); $this->load->view('pages/'.$page);
-$this->load->view('templates/footer'); }
-
-The first thing we do is checking whether the page we're looking for
-does actually exist. We use PHP's native file\_exists() to do this check
-and pass the path where the file is supposed to be. Next is the function
-show\_404(), a CodeIgniter function that renders the default error page
-and sets the appropriate HTTP headers.
-
-In the header template you saw we were using the $title variable to
-customize our page title. This is where we define the title, but instead
-of assigning the value to a variable, we assign it to the title element
-in the $data array. The last thing we need to do is loading the views in
-the order we want them to be displayed. We also pass the $data array to
-the header view to make its elements available in the header view file.
-
-Routing
--------
-
-Actually, our controller is already functioning. Point your browser to
-index.php/pages/view to see your homepage. When you visit
-index.php/pages/view/about you will see the about page, again including
-your header and footer. Now we're going to get rid of the pages/view
-part in our URI. As you may have seen, CodeIgniter does its routing by
-the class, method and parameter, separated by slashes.
-
-Open the routing file located at application/config/routes.php and add
-the following two lines. Remove all other code that sets any element in
-the $route array.
-
-$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1'; $route['default\_controller'] =
-'pages/view';
-
-CodeIgniter reads its routing rules from top to bottom and routes the
-request to the first matching rule. These routes are stored in the
-$route array where the keys represent the incoming request and the value
-the path to the method, as described above.
-
-The first rule in our $routes array matches every request - using the
-wildcard operator (:any) - and passes the value to the view method of
-the pages class we created earlier. The default controller route makes
-sure every request to the root goes to the view method as well, which
-has the first parameter set to 'home' by default.
