It is not straight forward and far easier to inherit from a common library.

Try searching for "MY_Controller".

is there any way to do this? this is the scenario.. when i click a button in a view naamed ocd_view it calls a function located at the default controller named ocd_controller. the controller loads another view. named highAndLow_view and when i click a button it calls another controller named hourlyheights_controller. but when i do that the page looks at the ocd_controller istead of looking at the hourlyheights_controller...

please help. thanks

Try this:

Code:
// http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/helpers/url_helper.html
  $this->load->helper('url');

  <?php
        // ocd_view
        echo anchor
        (
           'ocd_controller/func_FIRST/' .$params,
           'func_FIRST located ocd_controller'
        };
  ?>        
  
// the ocd_controller controller loads another view. named highAndLow_view
// and when i click a button
// it calls another controller named hourlyheights_controller.
  <?php
      // highAndLow_view
      echo anchor
      (
        'hourlyheights_controller/func_TWO/' .$params,
        'func_TWO located in hourlyheights_controller'
      };
  ?>


 
edit renamed incorrect link.

thanks.. that takes care of the different controller problem .. my new problem is why i get stucked at the highAndLow view when im sending a parameter as a third segment of the uri?

the page loads but the uri looks like this...

example.com/tides/ocd_controller/highAndLow_view/hourlyMonth

instead of

example.com/tides/ocd_controller/hourlyMonth

With the information you provide I will try three guesses.


1. Are you using the anchor function?

2. Have you set $config['base_url']?

3. Have you checked the script against another link that is working?


I am not very good at guessing and reckon it will be far better if you supply the script.

yes im using anchor tags and my $config['base_url'] are set to "http://localhost/Oceano";

Try this:

Code:
&lt;form action=“Tides_Controller/hourlyMonth” method=“post”&gt;
&nbsp;
Please also note that the script I submitted is wrapped in code tags and makes reading the code easier.
Try wrapping your script in code tags and notice the difference.
