Hello! I am new to CI, being my first framework, just started getting into it a week ago. I really like the concept and it seems to fit exactly what I need.
For practice reasons I converted a smaller and rather simple website to a CI-driven site. It's working quite well - mostly. But I came to one issue I can't solve.
There is a visitor counter on tha page. It's very simple, loading the current number from a textfile, checking a cookie if the visitor has been here before, otherwise adding 1 to the number, writing it back into the file and writing a cookie.
The code for this used to be inside the footer-view, because it is executed on every page. But to learn the concept of CI, I created a model for this visitor counter, which at the moment is called by the footer-view. The model looks like this:
Code:
class Visitor extends Model {
function Visitor() {
parent::Model();
}
function count() {
$file_name = "res/countfile.txt";
$dz = fopen($file_name, "r");
$counter = fread($dz, 10);
fclose($dz);
$this->load->helper('cookie');
$visitor=get_cookie('mysite');
if ($visitor != 'yes') {
$cookie = array('name'=>'mysite', 'value'=>'yes', 'expire'=>'0', 'domain'=>'www.mysite.de', 'path'=>'/', 'prefix'=>'');
set_cookie($cookie);
$counter++;
$dz = fopen($file_name, "w");
fwrite($dz, $counter);
fclose($dz);
}
return $counter;
}
}
The reading and writing functions are no problem, but the cookie helper functions just don't work. There is no cookie being written or read. The same code is working when I use it directly in the view file.
Is there anybody out there, seeing at one glance where I am thinking wrong?
Thanks!
Kroka
