Sending output to browser - El Forum - 05-21-2009

Based on certain conditions, I want to break in the middle of controller and send custom output to the browser. I found a way to do this using private function _display() in output class, but perhaps there is proper way of doing it?
This is what I use right now:
Code:
$this->output->set_header($json_header);
$this->output->set_output(json_encode($result));
$this->output->_display();
exit(0);Sending output to browser - El Forum - 05-21-2009

I don't think you need to call the _display() function. Just don't display anything else after you set the output.

You're right, I don't have to, but I would prefer it to keep my coding style. This is what I like to do:
Code:
if ($step1 == FALSE)
{
// Log error, etc,
redirect('controller');
}
if ($step2 == FALSE)
{
// Log error, etc,
redirect('controller');
}
// No errors, do somethingInstead of coding like this:
Code:
if ($step1 == TRUE)
{
if ($step2 == TRUE)
{
// No errors, do something
}
else
{
// Log error, etc,
}
}
else
{
// Log error, etc,
}But in this case, instead of redirecting on error I'd like to send custom output.

How about loading a view? I think I'm missing the problem.
