loading a view vs. loading a file - El Forum - 09-06-2009 [eluser]neomech[/eluser] Hi, I'm trying to work with an xml file that I created. I was using simplexml_load_file (I've got PHP 5 installed) and was getting an error so I thought I'd use the CI load library functions. If I try this in my controller: Code: xml=$this->load->file('../xml/filter.xml',TRUE); If I try this instead: Code: $xml=$this->load->view('../xml/filter.xml','',TRUE); Can anyone explain why either the simplexml call or the CI load->file call aren't working? It seems like the other two methods are looking for me to identify the directory differently. If it matters, my directory structure is: -application --model --view --controller --xml -library --system -public_html --images --js --css I'm using the .htaccess file from the CI wiki (Elliot Haughin's) loading a view vs. loading a file - El Forum - 09-06-2009 [eluser]richthegeek[/eluser] load->file goes from the root directory (which contains system, user_guide, index.php etc) whilst load->view goes from application/views. loading a view vs. loading a file - El Forum - 09-06-2009 [eluser]neomech[/eluser] Ahh....awesome...everything works now. Thanks very much! |
