When we create an action in controller then why we don't use it static
Public static function actionLogin(){
}
$this
The whole application get the $this from controller classes, so we cannot use the static keyword.
Because the controller is being instantiated and the actions might access properties of the controller.

I have a custom helper class and ill set the alias for that class for access to the blade file(frontend). I can access the static methods referring to the alias::method but I need to access the nonstatic methods from the view. how can I do that?
'Access' => App\Services\Access::class,
Two functions in Access class.
public function getPermissions()
public static function getUser()
I can easily access the static function using Access::getUser()
So How can access the non-static functions?
If you just want to access it in your view, you can share a new instance of Access to all your views :
In the boot() method of your AppServiceProvider :
View::share('access', (new App\Services\Access));
then in your blade #foreach($access->getPermissions() as $permission)
You can inject an instance of this class into your view:
#inject('access', Access::class)
Now you can access all those methods via $access->whatEverMethod(). Otherwise you will need a Facade or deal with the magic methods to call the non static method on the class itself.
$this is use for current class and view is method but what is load. Is this a property?
Is this example correct?
class super{
public $property;
public function superf1()
{
echo "hello";
}
public function col()
{
$this->superf1();
}
$this->property->super1();
}
Yes, load is a property.
Think of it like this:
class Loader {
public function view() {
//code...
}
}
class MyClass {
private $load;
public __constructor() {
$this->load = new Loader();
}
public someMethod() {
$this->load->view();
}
}
This syntax is called chaining.
Your controller inherits CI_Controller. So, if you look in application/system/core/Controller.php you'll find something interesting : $this->load =& load_class('Loader', 'core'); (l.50 with CI2). So, $this->load refer to the file application/system/core/Loader.php which have a function public function view (l.418 with CI2)
In the context of a class that extends CI_Controller (in other words: a controller) the symbol $this is the Codeigniter "super object". Which is, more or less, the central object for CI sites and contains (among other things) a list of loaded classes. load is one of the classes you'll always find there because it is automatically loaded by the CI system.
Technically, the class creates objects of the type CI_Loader. view() is just one of the many methods in the load class. Other commonly used class methods are model(), library(), config(), helper(), and database(). There are others.
So, in short, load is a class used to load other resources.
load is a class belongs to the loader class
codeigniter official documentation
view, model and others are methods
In PHP 8.1
use return("viewname", $data)
There's a part of a code (query) that will be required in all controllers, they will be passed into views for display.
Can I know is there anyway to declare them in just a single file so that I can reference them directly from my view? Without declaring them in each controller's _construct.
I'm using codeigniter3, here's a sample code:
MainController.php
public function index(){
$data['userCampaign'] = $this->Usermodel->getCampaign();
}
Create default controller in your project which extends CI_Controller and your all controller extends new controller and in __construct(); function of your new controller you can add this code.
Declare this function as protected in parent controller class.
No. I don't know there is method like that.
You want call the function in __construct() or you have to declare function in controller and call it back. $this->check_session()
I have some data array which I need for all method's in a controller.
$data['project_ongoing_res_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_ongoing_residential_limit();
$data['project_ongoing_com_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_ongoing_commercial_limit();
$data['project_upcoming_res_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_upcoming_residential_limit();
$data['project_upcoming_com_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_upcoming_commercial_limit();
$data['project_completed_res_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_completed_residential_limit();
$data['project_completed_com_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_completed_commercial_limit();
Problem is I cant DRY this. so I have paste this $data array in each method.
I have a view page for this. so when I load this view , I have to
load above $data array each time/method. this is disgusting when controller
methods are too much.
I want 1 piece of this code like constructor. How can I do this.
you can use traits for this.
Define your methods in a trait, and then use the trait in the controllers.
You can make one helper class in which make a function and put your above code in it but make sure you can't access model using $this so, you need to create CI instance and than access it. after that in your controller in construct method you just need to call this function but don't forget to load the helper class and store it in a variable and pass it along with view.
Just create private data variable in your controller class. Than set your data in constructor. Now you can access your data in any method you want.
class Pages extends CI_Controller {
// ...
private $data;
// ...
public function __construct() {
parent::_construct();
$this->data = array();
$this->data['project_ongoing_res_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_ongoing_residential_limit();
$this->data['project_ongoing_com_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_ongoing_commercial_limit();
$this->data['project_upcoming_res_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_upcoming_residential_limit();
$this->data['project_upcoming_com_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_upcoming_commercial_limit();
$this->data['project_completed_res_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_completed_residential_limit();
$this->data['project_completed_com_limit']=$this->admin_model->show_project_completed_commercial_limit();
}
// ...
}
So for example, i want to access config on CI from my class library.
Class A {
funcion x() {
$this->config->load('my_config'); // accessing my_config
}
}
that obviously won't work unless you extends and then call parent::__construct().
As far as i know, it can only be done from classes that extend CI_Controller or CI_Model. How to access CI stuff (config, helper, model, etc) on non-CI class ?
Thanks.
How about initiating the class from the construct?
include ("CI_Page.php");
class A {
protected $_CIInstance1;
protected $_CIInstance2;
public function __construct(){
$this->_CIInstance1 = new xxxx();
$this->_CIInstance2 = new yyyy();
}
public function x(){
$this->_CIInstance1->load('my_config');
}
}
You probably want to access the instance of CI as if it were the super variable, $this. In reality what you need is the ability to access the same functionality as $this and in order to do this, you'll need to use $CI =& get_instance();
You can find it directly in the documentation for Creating Libraries
