Questions about functions within controllers - El Forum - 03-31-2008

Hi!
I am having a bit of a problem figuring out how to code my new app. I was wondering if there is a way to kinda "redirect" the use of a particular function within the same controller. Let me explain:
Code:
<?
class Generator extends Controller
{
function Generator()
{
error_reporting(0);
parent::Controller();
$this->load->model('functions');
$this->load->model('other');
$this->load->model('wp');
$this->load->helper('string');
$this->load->helper('url');
}
function index()
{
echo("generator");
}
function content()
{
if ($this->segment->uri(3) == 'some-string')
{
*redirect to some_string() function within the same controller*
}
else
{
*redirect another_thing() function*
}
}
function some_string()
{
*do something*
}
function another_thing()
{
*do something else*
}
}
}Is that possible to do? I don't know where to put my app "logic".
I hope you guys can help me! (and understand what is my problem
)Thanks!

As far as i no it should be like this:
Code:
<?
class Generator extends Controller
{
function Generator()
{
error_reporting(0);
parent::Controller();
$this->load->model('functions');
$this->load->model('other');
$this->load->model('wp');
$this->load->helper('string');
$this->load->helper('url');
}
function index()
{
echo("generator");
}
function content()
{
if ($this->segment->uri(3) == 'some-string')
{
*redirect to some_string() function within the same controller*
}
else
{
*redirect another_thing() function*
}
}
}
//private function can only be called inside something else
function _some_string()
{
*do something*
}
//try calling this by url and it wont work, but call it inside another function and it will.
function _another_thing()
{
*do something else*
}
