How to exit() ?
#1

[eluser]Buso[/eluser]
My problem is I would like to do something like loading a view and then exit, but without losing things like the profiler, the hooks, the error logging, and so on.

If the load->view is called from the usual place (the 'outer' method in my controller. I mean, no other method is calling it), and I want to end the applicationt there, I just use 'return;'. Then the method returns to wherever codeigniter is calling it from, and continues doing its own stuff.
But what happens if I wanna exit from other place? A constructor, for instance.
If I use 'return;', my application won't stop there. And if I use exit, the above mentioned problems will occur (no profiler, etc).

Any suggestions?

You should leave control decisions to your controller. A view is to display output, not to make logic decisions.
Then, in your controller method you can use return to exit the method.

I didn't say I was taking decisions from within my views. :gulp:

I'll give you an example, this goes inside Frontend_controller's constructor

Code:
if(UNDER_MAINTENANCE) {
  
  $this->load->view('under_maintenance');

  exit;
  
}

If I use return; instead of exit;, the under_maintenance view will be loaded, but - as expected - the normal page will be appended at the end (the page that would be loaded if the site wasn't under maintenance)

what do you think?
Or else directly in the function you want to call
But so maybe the code is cleaner for maintenance

Oh ok that may work if I put it inside __construct

Thanks! Smile

*cough*

Code:
function index(){
  if(UNDER_MAINTENANCE) {
    $this->_maintenance();
  else
    $this->_normal();
  }
}

function _maintenance(){
  $this->load->view('under_maintenance');
}

function _normal(){
  $this->load->view('index');

[eluser]Buso[/eluser]
actually it won't work.. dunno why I got confused

I need something to EXIT from within a constructor. If I just call $this->_maintenance, _maintenance will execute, but then the rest of the constructor will execute too, and the function requested by URI will execute too.

Uhum...

But if UNDER_MAINTENANCE is true do you want which all page are on maintenance?

If yes you could put a "if" on route
example

Code:
if(UNDER_MAINTENANCE) {
  $route['(:any)'] = "maintenance";
}

and a controller and view maintenance
