| passing a string to a view |
|
I have a function in my controller
public function org_chart_management() { $this->load->dbutil(); $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM employees"); //echo $this->dbutil->csv_from_result($query); //write the string $string2 = $this->dbutil->csv_from_result($query); //write the string $this->load->view('configure_chart.php',$string2); // echo '<script src="/views/configure"></script>'; // echo $string2; // echo '<script type="text/javascript">$string2</script>'; } And here is the view called configure_chart.php <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Substantiator</title> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> </head> <body> <html> <head> <br><br><br><br><br><br> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.charts.load('current', {packages:["orgchart"]}); google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); function drawChart() { var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('string', 'Name'); data.addColumn('string', 'Manager'); data.addColumn('string', 'ToolTip'); // For each orgchart box, provide the name, manager, and tooltip to show. data.addRows([ [{v:'Mike', f:'Mike<div style="color:red; font-style:italic">President</div>'}, '', 'The President'], [{v:'Jim', f:'Jim<div style="color:red; font-style:italic">Vice President</div>'}, 'Mike', 'VP'], ['Alice', 'Mike', ''], ['Bob', 'Jim', 'Bob Sponge'], ['Carol', 'Bob', ''] ]); // Create the chart. var chart = new google.visualization.OrgChart(document.getElementById('chart_div')); // Draw the chart, setting the allowHtml option to true for the tooltips. chart.draw(data, {allowHtml:true}); } </script> </head> <body> </body> <!--Div that will hold the pie chart--> <br><br><br> <body> <div id="chart_div"></div> </body> </body> </html> when I run org_chart_management() I get the following screen. This chart that you see if from hard coded sample data. I really want to pass $string2 to configure_chart.php. I tried doing echo $string2 in the controller, but that just prints the $string2 to the view. Can someone tell me how to get the $string2 into the view?

PHP Code: $data['string2'] = $this->dbutil->csv_from_result($query);The manual are always a good start to look at. You need to pass an array with an index, and later on access that index as $string2 in your view. https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/g...o-the-view
You can also use an un-documentented CI method.
PHP Code: $data['string2'] = $this->dbutil->csv_from_result($query);That way will also make the variables available to all of your views. What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

I think it may have worked. Not really sure since I can't debug javascript code in a View (xdebug/phpStorm). What I'd like to do is take the javascript out of view configure_chart and move it to a javascript file. Notice I left a few lines to register the callback. I know I can get the javascript code in the view file to run by doing
$this->load->view('configure_chart', $data); But how can I get the drawChart() in javascript_funcs() to run? Here is the way the View is now <html> <head> <br><br><br><br><br><br> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.charts.load('current', {packages:["orgchart"]}); google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); </script> </head> <!--Div that will hold the pie chart--> <br><br><br> <body> <div id="chart_div"></div> </body> I moved the drawChart into my javascript_funcs file. How do I invoke drawChart when it is in its own javascript file? And does string passing still work?

I also tried using window.alert($data['string2']); in the view (since my degugger won't work). It is not working.

You need to access it like this in the view:
PHP Code: <?php echo $string2; ?>
Well I can print it to the screen with my <?php echo string2; ?> from within my view!
 Here is part of the view: <head> <br><br><br><br> <?php echo $string2; ?> <br><br><br><br> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.charts.load('current', {packages:["orgchart"]}); google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); function drawChart() { var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('string', 'Name'); data.addColumn('string', 'Manager'); data.addColumn('string', 'ToolTip'); // echo xhttp.responseText; // For each orgchart box, provide the name, manager, and tooltip to show. data.addRows(<?php $string2; ?> ??????? How can I get $string2 into the "data" structure?

You echo it out there too...
I don't know the requirements for your javascript, but looks like an array, so depending on how $string2 looks, you may need to make a foreach and generate a new string/javascript array so it looks like your first post.
I did find a google charts function called arrayToDataTable(). Using this would allow me to populate the dataTable easily. Perhaps on the
$this->db->select('employee,manager,employee_title'); $this->db->where('email', $email); $this->db->where('campaign', $campaign); $query=$this->db->get('employees'); $data['string2'] = $this->dbutil->xml_from_result($query); //write the string but if I used split instead and tried sending it over as an array by doing something like this in the controller function $string2=$query.split It would be easier to populate the dataTable. Any idea if I can send an array (not just a string) to my View?
