Function in Controller

[eluser]reidz[/eluser]
i want to ask how to handle request to function which do not show anyting to controller

Code:

class Example extends Controller
{
    function Example()
    {
        parent::Controller();
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('some_view');
    }
    
    function do_nothing()
    {
        
    }
    
}

with this Controller, when i type this localhost/index.php/example/do_nothing on my address bar, the result is just blank page, because that function do_nothing do not called any view

so all im asking is how we handle this kind situation ? cause i dont want to display any blak page

Well do_nothing needs to be coded with do_something.

What do you want to do in do_nothing?

in my case i generate some encrypted password and then i return that password to function in controller
so when i try to call that function, blank page shown
any suggestion ?

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
Try this in do_nothing.

Code:

redirect('example/index', 'refresh');

why not put that function in a helper or library ?? or al least in a private function ?

Prepend do_nothing() with an underscore, like so:

Code:

function _do_nothing()
{

}

This will make it "private" and prevent it from being called from the URL. You can optionally remap it to a different method using the _remap method.

Code:

function _remap($method)
{
    if($method == 'do_nothing')
    {
          $this->index();
    }
}
