i have a function within a controller called 'updateStatus()'
using the syntax : updateStatus()
im trying to call this function from another function within the controller, but it keep erroring sating that updateStatus() is not defined.
i check spelling and case, and it is exactly the sam.
Am i supposed to use something like this to call the function within the controller $this->updateStatus()???

This can be done by two ways.
1. By using the redirect() function of the url helper. for this the helper url need to be load in the controller.
2. $this->functionName();
Here is an example that demonstrate both the ways
Code:
class Example extends Controller {
function Example()
{
parent::Controller();
$this->load->helper('url');
}
function index()
{
$this->show();
}
function show1()
{
echo "two";
}
function show()
{
redirect('example/show1');
}
}Try this, it will work.
Quote:Note: the url helper only need to load if u wnat to use redirect('controller/function')
