Multiple method calls from library - ManOfHonor - 11-04-2016

Hi there,

I would like to know how can I call two methods from library in a loop? For example I have library called "Test" and I load it in my controller
PHP Code:
$this->load->library('test'); 

I have array with values, for example:
PHP Code:
$values = array(10, 20, 30, 40, 50); 

Now I have to loop through that array and call two methods from my library:
PHP Code:
foreach($values as $value) {
    $this->test->set($value);
    $returned_value = $this->test->get();
    echo $returned_value.'<br>';
} 

My problem is that after the first call of these methods I can see returned value but after that I'm not getting any remaining values. How can I achieve that in CodeIgniter?

can you show your library?

Try making your $value array static.

You will then need a clear method to reset it.

Thanks for yours reply. This is example of my library:
PHP Code:
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Test extends CI_Controller
{
    protected $value;
        
    public function set($value)
    {
        $this->value = $value;
    }
        
    public function get()
    {
        return $this->value;
    }
} 

InsiteFX, do you mean something like this:
PHP Code:
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Test extends CI_Controller
{
    protected static $value;
        
    public function set($value)
    {
        self::$value = $value;
    }
        
    public function get()
    {
        return self::$value;
    }

    public function clear()
    {
        self::value = '';
    }
}

Yes, but like I said you will need to create a clear method to reset your value array.

RE: Multiple method calls from library - ramadhansutejo - 11-06-2016

you mean like this?

try to re-write tour library to :
PHP Code:
class Test
{
    
    protected $ci;
    protected $value;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->ci =& get_instance();
    }

    public function set($value)
    {
        $this->value = $value;
    }
        
    public function get()
    {
        return $this->value;
    }

}

Thanks for reply,

I made a mistake and tried to extend CI_Controller in my library. Also I forgot that if I need to use CodeIgniter resources I can't extend it but I have to assign CodeIgniter object to variable by reference like you do.
