I was trying out the tutorial on this link to create a form :
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/form_validation.html
But when I type in the url(after creating the files of form.php, formsuccess.php and myform.php) localhost/codeigniter/index.php/form, I get the error of 404 Page Not Found.
I am new to Codeigniter. Can someone help me figure out the error ? Thanks and Regards.
Codeigniter is an MVC framework so url hierarchy is processed a little different.
Can you access localhost/codeigniter/index.php?
No: Do you have the correct .htaccess files in place?
Yes: In your controller folder, do you have a file named Form.php with the following code:
class Form extends CI_Controller {
function index() {
}
}

I cloned a copy of Codeigniter from github today using this link: https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter.git. I am currently running MAMP setup so that http://localhost:8888 points to my htdocs folder. My root folder is called 'time'. When I go to http://localhost:8888/time/index.php, I do see the Codeigniter welcome page. Also, I can go tohttp://localhost:8888/time/ and see the same welcome page, even though I don't have an .htaccess file in the root directory.
Here is the problem. I added the following function to the Welcome.php controller class:
public function test()
{
echo 'Test';
}
This should display a page which shows 'test' when I visit http://localhost:8888/time/index.php/test. However, I get a 404 page not found error. Does anyone have any suggestions for understanding and fixing this problem?
Because localhost/index.php/test doesn't refer to the method test in the welcome controller. You would have to go to localhost/index.php/welcome/test or use routes.
They way you are doing it implies there is a controller named Test.php and it is trying to go to the index() function of that controller.
How can I show a view from a controller? Here is my code:
This is my controller.php file in /var/www/html/application/controllers/controller.php
public function __construct($controller) {
if(!this->controller) {
//show page from: /var/www/html/application/views/404.php
}
}
As far as i can understand from controller path, this is Codeigniter PHP Framework.
If so, you can load 404.php with code below:
$this->load->view('404');
Also there is a function named show_404() that trigers 404 error and loads corresponding view.
I strongly recommend you to read Codeigniter Documentation from beginning.
I am new to codeigniter and really interested in trying it out. I followed the guide but ran into a problem. It seems like I am unable to load my first page properly.
I have inside the view folder another folder called general and inside it index.php.
in controller folder, I have sub-folder with general and inside it is Default controller.
I have the following route and yet the page showing is blank
$route['default_controller'] = "general/default";
$route['404_override'] = '';
When I visit the link, I type this in browser:
http://localhost:8888/treventa/
and the screen is blank. Am I doing something wrong? Sorry if this is too simple but a person got to learn from his mistake :)
Try with me step by step:
Firstly: the Controller:
(main.php) File content
if (!defined('BASEPATH'))exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Main extends CI_Controller {
public function index() {
$this->load->view('general/welcome');
}
}
Secondly: The view:
(welcome.php) File content
You can put anything you want
<h1> Hello, I'm the view file </h1>
Finaly: The routes:
(routes.php) File content
$route['default_controller'] = "general/main";
Now call the script like this http://localhost/codeIgniter/, that's where codeIgniter is the script folder name.
I think everything now is clear.
CI trying to use method default() of general controller. If You want to use folders for controllers, make sure You specify method, so try $route['default_controller'] = "general/default/index";
And one more thing: this method (default_controller) will be used when You trying reach Your root http://localhost:8888/, if You want to route request from http://localhost:8888/treventa/ to default controller, You need to add route-rule to /config/routes.php something like $route['treventa'] = "general/main/index";
I'm really beginner to codeigniter I'm working on CI since last 2 weeks. During this period I have created many views.php files, some controllers.php files and some models.php files
Now I want start a new website project.
What should I do. Should I delete all files of my controllers, views and models, etc., and download another codeigniter and start from the beginning?
You should check the documentation of codeigniter for help but just to give you a quick start ill explain how to create your first codeigniter project.
Installation
1 Download the codeigniter framework from http://ellislab.com/codeigniter
2 upload it in root directory of your website or local apache server directory.
Creating your codeigniter project.
In codeigniter your controller will handle the url requests and load appropriate model and views. So the first step is to create your controller.
1 Creating your controller: go to Applications->controllers and there you will find a built in controller called welcome.php.
This controller loads a view welcome_message.php which is inside Application->views.
You can use this controller or create your own.
To create your own controller create a new php file myfirstcontroller.php and extend a class with same name from CI_Controller.
Note that the name of the file and your class name should be the same. the index function is the default function that will be called when you make a request to the controller
class myfirstcontroller extends CI_Controller {
public function index(){
$this->load->view("myfirstview");
}
}
so when you request this controller through yoursite/index.php/myfirstcontroller
it will load a view called myfirstview.php which will reside inside applications->views.
Go ahead and create this file in applications ->views.
2 To pass data from controller to view you will send an array to the view
class myfirstcontroller extends CI_Controller {
public function index(){
$data['name']="My first application.";
$this->load->view("myfirstview",$data);
}
}
3 You can access this variable in view
echo $name
and it will output your variable
3 you use models you have to create a file inside applications->models and call it from controller and it will return the result in the form of array.
You can look at the documentation for further help.
Hope this helped you to get started with codeigniter.
The user guide is inside your download library.
You can also view it in http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/
Good luck!!!
Here is Phil Sturgeon's article on how to do multiple site on one CI instance, in here he explains 2 ways of doing it and describes pros and cons.

But in his latest articles he has told what happened to modular separation.

A newbie here: sorry if the question is too simple, been looking in tutorials but I don't seem to look properly.
I have the
$route['default_controller'] = "mainpage";
in routes.php working properly, and now I just want to view one of the php pages in views folder by typing its url:
http://myserver/folder/thepageIwantToSee
I get a 404 Not Found error. Do I have to use a controller? I just want to see it first before any linking, is there a way to do it?
Thanks a lot!
class yourcontroller extends CI_Controller {
function pageiwanttosee()
{
code
code
$this->load->view('the_view_page', $data);
}
}
Yes, you can write a controller that displays the view specified.
http://myserver/showfile/folder/thepageIwantToSee , where showfile is your controller.
Don't forget to set some security check or disable this on production site.
