Does the view exsist? - El Forum - 10-05-2010

Hey guys,
I'm currently building a large static site. I have a header and footer view for obvious reasons. The main view(s) are going to be stored in sub-folders to mimic the uri. This is being done as following;
Code:
$this->load->view($this->uri->uri_string());The only issue is that, if someone mistypes or follows a bad uri they get the "Unable to load the requested file" error.
Is there a way to check a view exsists before attempting to load it?
Cheers,
gevans

Ok, I went with the following solution;
Code:
$uri_string = $this->uri->uri_string();
$this->load->helper('file');
if(read_file('./' . $uri_string . '.php') === false)
{
show_404($uri_string);
}
else
{
$this->load->view($uri_string);
}If anyone thinks of anything more suitable let me know!

You could just use file_exists()...

That is very true, finished code (to date);
Code:
$uri_string = $this->uri->uri_string();
$uri_string = empty($uri_string)? 'home.php' : $uri_string .'.php';
if(file_exists('./application/views/' . $uri_string) === false)
{
show_404($uri_string);
}
else
{
$this->load->view($uri_string);
}
