Autorun a controller with CI

[eluser]Fatih[/eluser]
Dears,

I coded a MVC structure for create a rss.xml file which is updated one time in every day, on a rss subdirectory. I need to create a mechanism to perform every loading on my website like this:

1. Check the rss.xml file date with system date.
2. If system date is new than rss.xml file date, run controller file with MVC structure.

How can I perform this?

I would say you need a cron job.

You can use the php function filemtime to get the latest modification time of the file.

Thanks xwero.

But my problem is not to check file creation or modification date. My problem is how I can start the controller file on loading a every different pages. When my website is loaded, I have to run a controller file. Then this file will be check this modification date and If the system date is new than rss.xml file date, create new one on background.

But I cannot find the starter mechanism

If you want to run an action on every page load you should check hooks

I read about hooks before. But it cannot be applicable for MVC structure. My code is applicable is MVC structure. If it is not possible to start a MVC structure in every loaded pages, I will change my codes to hooks.

Using Michael Wales dev pack you could have a function in the your Public_Controller; http://www.michaelwales.com/2008/01/my-c...-dev-pack/. Every controller that extends Public_Controller would run that function.

application\libraries\MY_Controller.php

Code:

class Public_Controller extends Controller {
    function Public_Controller() {
        parent::Controller();
        $this->run_function_everytime();
    }

    function run_function_everytime() {
    //beautiful code
    }
}

application\controllers\feed.php

Code:

class Feed extends Public_Controller {
  function __construct() {
        parent::Public_Controller();
    }
}

application\controllers\page.php

Code:

class Page extends Public_Controller {
  function __construct() {
        parent::Public_Controller();
    }
}
