Not sure if its a thing to do, but i have been using class vars to store info that is common to a number of methods in my class. Here is an example. Let me know what people think, if i'm doing something i'm not supposed to be, or tips. Thanks.
Code:
<?php
class forgotpassword extends MY_Controller {
var $error = '';
var $info = '';
var $response = '';
var $page_title = '';
function forgotpassword()
{
parent :: MY_Controller();
// load the models
$this->load->model('site-api/dogetplayerpassword');
// load libraries
$this->load->library('email');
$this->page_title = lang('title.forgot.password');
}
function index()
{
$data['pageTitle'] = $this->page_title;
// load the views
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/public_menutop');
$this->load->view('members/forgotpassword');
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
function retrieve_password()
{
$data['pageTitle'] = $this->page_title;
$api_call = $this->dogetplayerpassword->index();
$this->response = $api_call["xml"];
$this->error = $api_call["error"];
if (empty($this->error))
{
// send the email
$email_data["password"] = $this->response->row['password'];
$email_data["site_name"] = $this->config->item('site_name');
$email_data["support_email"] = $this->config->item('support_email');
$this->email->from($this->config->item('support_email'), $this->config->item('support_name'));
$this->email->to($this->input->post('email'));
$this->email->subject(lang('email.subject.forgot.password'));
$message = $this->parser->parse('email-templates/forgot_password_email_'. $this->config->item('default_language').'.txt', $email_data, TRUE);
$this->email->message($message);
if ($this->email->send())
{
$this->info = 'msg.forgot.password.success';
}
else
{
$this->error = 'email.fail.send';
// log error message
log_message('error', 'Email failed to send (password recovery).');
}
}
// load the views
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/public_menutop');
$this->load->view('templates/displaymsgs');
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
}
