There already is a function called "view". The code the tutorial describes here, is taking you a step further the make the function load a view file only if the file really exists.

The subchapter "Adding logic to the controller" wants me to add a check - I assume to add it into a controller - that the page to be loaded actually exists.


Tutorial says: "In order to load those pages, you’ll have to check whether the requested page actually exists: "

PHP Code:

public function view($page = 'home')
{
        if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'views/pages/'.$page.'.php'))
        {
                // Whoops, we don't have a page for that!
                show_404();
        }

        $data['title'] = ucfirst($page); // Capitalize the first letter

        $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
        $this->load->view('pages/'.$page, $data);
        $this->load->view('templates/footer', $data);
} 


But I can't figure out where this code goes. In my controllers folder, there is pages.php and welcome.php.

Thank you for your help
