How do I add the file in the controller in Codeignator? - php

Question

I am using Codeignator. My issue is, How do I add the file in the controller?
Let's explain in detail
I have code in the controller something like this below code. Just notice that if-else condition is twice.
foreach($order_list as $order) {
if (is_array($order)) {
foreach($order as $r) {
if ($r - > status == -1) {
//button
} elseif($r - > status == 1) {
//button
} elseif($r - > status == 2) {
//button
} elseif($r - > status == 3) {
//button
} else {
//button
}
// It will increase more in future
}
} else {
// same if-else code
if ($r - > status == -1) {//button}
elseif($r - > status == 1) {//button}
elseif($r - > status == 2) {//button}
elseif($r - > status == 3) {//button }
else {//button}
// It will increase more in future
}
}
So I thought, I will create a new file and add it something like this
foreach($order_list as $order) {
if (is_array($order)) {
foreach($order as $r) {
//externalfile.php
}
} else {
//externalfile.php
}
}
externalfile.php
if ($r - > status == -1) {
//button
} elseif($r - > status == 1) {
//button
} elseif($r - > status == 2) {
//button
} elseif($r - > status == 3) {
//button
} else {
//button
}
Why I am doing like this because I don't know to increase the number of lines and I don't want to change any condition or text or any HTML twice in the future.
Would you help me out or any other idea to solve this?
Actual code.
foreach($order_list as $order) {
if(is_array($order)){
foreach($order as $r) {
$encryption_id=base64_encode($this->encryption->encrypt($r->cust_id));
$this->myCode($r);//added here
$data[] = array(
"Sr_No" => $n,
"cust_id" =>$encryption_id,//encrpt the id
"Name"=>$r->c_firstname."".$r->c_lastname
);
$n++;
}
} else{
$this->myCode($r);//added here
}
}
public function myCode($status) {
if ($status== -1) {
$order_status='Action name';
} elseif($status == 0) {
$order_status='Action name';
} elseif($status == 1) {
$order_status='Action name';
} else {
$order_status='Action name';
}
}

I think it's best to add an another method to your controller
public function myCode($status) {
if ($status == -1) {//button}
elseif($status == 1) {//button}
elseif($status == 2) {//button}
elseif($status == 3) {//button }
else {//button}
}
You should call it the following:
$this->myCode($order_list);
for example:
foreach($order_list as $order) {
if (is_array($order)) {
foreach($order as $r) {
$this->myCode($r);
//some else
}
} else {
$this->myCode($order);
}
}
