[solved] : controller functions calling from within fragment views, PHP4 -> PHP5 - El Forum - 10-02-2007

[eluser]tomcode[/eluser]
Hi,

I used to call functions defined in the controller from within my views. Under PHP4 this works without any problems. Now I'm switching to PHP5 and I get:

Quote:Call to undefined method CI_Loader::insert_code()

in my Controller I've defined the function :

Code:
function insert_code()

{

    return 'Hi';

}

in the fragment view I call it with:

Code:
&lt;?=$this->insert_code();?&gt;

What to do ? I want to keep the function inside the controller (no helper or library loading)

Thanks, Thomas

Return it as some data and then pass it to the view?

Controller

Code:
$data['code'] = $this->insert_code();

$this->load->view('myview', $data);

View

Code:
&lt;?= $code ?&gt;

Sorry, did show my code example too simplictic. I'm passing information to the controller.
Each view file contains different parameters, so I cannot set the values in the controller.

The main idea is to keep the data out of the controller.

Code:
function insert_code($file = FALSE)

{

  if ($file)

  {

    $open = "&lt;?php ";

    $file .= '.code.php';

    $code = $open .file_get_contents(APPPATH.'views/code/'.$file);

    $coloredstring =highlight_string($code,TRUE);

    $results[] = '<div class="code">';

    $results[] = str_replace('&lt;?php ','',$coloredstring);

    $results[] ='</div>';

    return implode("\r\n", $results);

  }

}

And in the fragment views i have
file 1

Code:
&lt;?=$this->insert_code('some_file_name');?&gt;

file 2

Code:
&lt;?=$this->insert_code('some_other_file_name');?&gt;

I also call the function several times per fragment view.

I found the solution.

PHP5

Code:
&lt;?=$CI->insert_code('some_file_name');?&gt;
