Load function, not view - El Forum - 11-16-2007

At the end of a controller, instead of loading a view, is it possible to load a function? I know you can redirect to a function, but that doesn't allow you to carry $data ... does it?
Cheers.

yes you can load a function, if the functions in the same controller, you dont have to load a view at all.
$this->functionname($param1,$param2);

Ah, excellent.
I've got another related problem. I want to pass a varible to the function I'm going to be loading. So I place it where you've put $param1.
I gather I have to then, in the function I'm loading, put function index($param1). When I do that, I get an spit up on my page regarding that parameter.
Any ideas?

Oh, think I got it. Had to set the parameter in the index function to be FALSE by default.

Code:
<?php
class Test extends Controller {
function test() {
parent::Controller();
}
function fish($var1="Nobody") {
$var2 = "likes fish";
$this->anotherfunc($var1,$var2);
}
function anotherfunc($var1,$var2)
{
echo $var1." ".$var2;
}
}
?>Not sure I understand your question so I shall do a quick example see above..
it defaults to "Nobody likes fish"
if you call it with:
http://localhost/......./index.php/test/fish/Wilma
it will display "Wilma likes fish"
[edit]sorry missed your reply, glad you got it working

Cheers gtech, that actually helped a great deal. My problem was I was trying to pass two parameters to my Index function, by in the function they were being passed from only one of the variables was actually being declared.
Thanks again!
