Function to call functions...? (newbie question) - El Forum - 03-19-2010

It´s Ok to call a function from another function in the same controller?
Code:
function reload(){
echo $something;
function index();
}It doesn´t seem to work for me, do you have Ideas?
Thanks in advance!

It's not exactly apparent what you are trying to accomplish here. Are you trying to call a another method from the controller class? Or are you trying to use a function that will be used by the method that currently encapsulates it (anonymous function?)
If it's the former, it's a simple $this->other_method() call (prepend an underscore to prevent this method from being routable.)
If it's the latter, unless you are using PHP version 5.3.x use the intrisic PHP function: create_function.

When you say 'routable' ... what (in English) do you mean? (I did google this but 'routable' and 'php' turns up a lot of mapping routines).

I was referring to "private" functions in controllers
Which states...
Quote:In some cases you may want certain functions hidden from public access. To make a function private, simply add an underscore as the name prefix and it will not be served via a URL request.
Yes, my concept of "routable" gets lost in translation for sure.
