So here I am playing again with CodeIgniter and I tried modifying my User controller and some private pages and I just realized that when accessing to pages like "cart.php" I can do this in order to show their cart( of current the logged in user).
Controller
PHP Code:
public function cart($id)
{
// Check Login
if($this->session->userdata('user_id') != $id) {
// otherwise redirect to...
redirect('store/index');
}
// Load Library
$this->load->library('cart');
$data['title'] = 'My Cart';
$data['cart'] = $this->Store_model->get_cart($id);
// Load Template
$this->template->load('public' , 'default', 'store/cart', $data);
}
Model:
PHP Code:
public function get_cart($id){
$this->db->where('user_id', $id);
$query = $this->db->get('ci_cart');
if($query->num_rows() > 0){
return $query->result();
} else {
return false;
}
}
and the one I just realized which I think looks nicer to avoid having urls like(notice that I don't pass vars):
Code:
"example.com/cart/1/kirasiris"
new Controller function:
PHP Code:
public function cart()
{
// Check Login
if($this->session->userdata('user_id') != $this->session->userdata('user_id')) {
// otherwise redirect to...
redirect('store/index');
}
// Load Library
$this->load->library('cart');
$data['title'] = 'My Cart';
$data['cart'] = $this->Store_model->get_cart();
// Load Template
$this->template->load('public' , 'default', 'store/cart', $data);
}
new Model function:
PHP Code:
public function get_cart(){
$this->db->where('user_id', $this->session->userdata('user_id'));
$query = $this->db->get('ci_cart');
if($query->num_rows() > 0){
return $query->result();
} else {
return false;
}
}
which just create a simple url like:
Code:
"example.com/cart/1/kirasiris"
So yes, I'm just wondering what is the best approach. If somebody can tell me I will be very grateful
I do Front-End development most of the time
