how to load view in codeigniter with variable? - php

Question

hi i want to just load the view page using variable not by direct name
here is my code:-
function load_views()
{
$this->load->model('test_model');
$data=$this->test_model->getMenu();
foreach($data as $data_menu) {
echo $data_menu->views;
$this->load->view($data_menu->views);
}
}
output :
test_view
An Error Was Encountered Unable to load the requested file: .php
actually it takes the value from db but it did not call the view file which is present in the view folder.
this is my view page :
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3 class="panel-title">Dashboard</h3>
</div>
<br/>
<div class="row">
<?php
$count = 0;
foreach($m as $data_menu){
if(($count% 4== 0))
{
?>
<div class = "row"></div>
<?php
}
?>
<div class="col-md-3">
<!--<a href="<?/*php echo base_url()*/?>index.php/<?php/* echo $data_menu->views*/?>">-->
<a href="<?php echo base_url()?>index.php/dn_login_controller/load_views">
<img class="img-rounded" src="" height="80" width="80" />
<div class="caption">
<h3><?php echo $data_menu->function_name; ?></h3>
</div>
</a>
</div>
<?php
$count++;
}
?>
</div>
</div>
Now in the view i want load views dynamically but i cant...
please help me.....

Answer 1

If you var_dump($data) you will see that it has an empty value somewhere in the array.
As kumar_v said in a comment, try to check for empty values
foreach($data as $data_menu) {
if(!empty(trim($data_menu->views)))
$this->load->view($data_menu->views);
}

This issue might be because, you cannot just directly load multiple views from single function/controller, when you just load view CI will send it to browser.
There are two other workaround for this :
Pass 2nd parameter NULL & 3rd parameter TRUE while loading your menu views, which will create your html as data instead of sending it to browser. Refer this link : codeigniter: loading multiple views
Create a view file, pass your data to that view & on that view execute for loop & load all your views.
