[solved] : controller functions calling from within fragment views, PHP4 -> PHP5

[eluser]tomcode[/eluser]
Hi,

I used to call functions defined in the controller from within my views. Under PHP4 this works without any problems. Now I'm switching to PHP5 and I get:

Call to undefined method CI_Loader::insert_code()

in my Controller I've defined the function :

Code:

function insert_code()
{
    return 'Hi';
}

in the fragment view I call it with:

Code:

<?=$this->insert_code();?>

What to do ? I want to keep the function inside the controller (no helper or library loading)


Thanks, Thomas

Return it as some data and then pass it to the view?

Controller

Code:

$data['code'] = $this->insert_code();
$this->load->view('myview', $data);

View

Code:

<?= $code ?>

Sorry, did show my code example too simplictic. I'm passing information to the controller.
Each view file contains different parameters, so I cannot set the values in the controller.

The main idea is to keep the data out of the controller.

Code:

function insert_code($file = FALSE)
{
  if ($file)
  {
    $open = "<?php ";
    $file .= '.code.php';
    $code = $open .file_get_contents(APPPATH.'views/code/'.$file);
    $coloredstring =highlight_string($code,TRUE);
    $results[] = '<div class="code">';
    $results[] = str_replace('&lt;?php ','',$coloredstring);
    $results[] ='</div>';
    return implode("\r\n", $results);
  }
}

And in the fragment views i have
file 1

Code:

<?=$this->insert_code('some_file_name');?>

file 2

Code:

<?=$this->insert_code('some_other_file_name');?>

I also call the function several times per fragment view.

I found the solution.

PHP5

Code:

<?=$CI->insert_code('some_file_name');?>
