I'm new to php, MVC and Zend Framework. I need to redirect to a controller/action via a hyperlink. I used this, as I have used it in a form to redirect to a controller. <a href="mycontroller/myaction"> But this time, it didn't work.
my controller is a very basic controller, where I only tried to dispaly the view conneced to the controller.
Here it is:
<?php
class NewUserController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
public function init()
{
/* Initialize action controller here */
}
public function newuserAction()
{
$this->view->newuser;
}
}
?>
I searched for answers and every answer was similar to what I have done.
please help me to sort this out.
Thanks in advance

First change your controller name NewUser to Newuser and try to pass url like this :
<?php $url = $this->url(array("controller" => "Newuser", "action" => "newuser")); ?>
test
And in controller :
<?php
class NewuserController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
public function init() {
/* Initialize action controller here */
}
public function newuserAction() {
$this->view->newuser;
echo "----In newuserAction()----";
}
}
?>
Hope it will work for you.

The PHP code at the top of my view page is as follows:
<?php
echo $this->view('includes/header');
?>
$this->view(); is a function inside my main Controller class. The Home controller class that is rendering the view extends that controller class.
Main Controller Class:
<?php
/*
* main controller class
*/
class Controller
{
public function view($view, $data = array())
{
extract($data);
// code...
if(file_exists("../private/views/". $view . ".view.php"))
{
return file_get_contents("../private/views/". $view . ".view.php");
} else {
return file_get_contents("../private/views/404.view.php");
}
}
}
Home Controller Class:
<?php
/**
* home controller
*/
class Home extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
// code...
echo $this->view('home');
}
}
When I view my page, all I see is:
Instead of seeing my page with the header files.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Sorry for anything I don't understand. I am relatively new to PHP and MVC.
What you want to do in your view method is return require "paths/there" . If you return the result of file_get_content(), you get the file as plaintext, so it isn't parsed as a php file. You may want to use require, require_once, include or include_once following your needs.
Are you sure the block of code below is called after initialization of class with method view()?
<?php
echo $this->view('includes/header');
?>
It seems $this doesn't have any methods.
So the problem of your code is here:
require_once('*Your controller url file*');
$Controller = new Controller();
echo $Controller->view('includes/header');
This mode you search to the controller file and instantiate the object.
Functions is functionally, but export of the controller is wrong.
How to call codeigniter controller function from view? When i call the function in a controller, get a 404 page.
You can call controller function from view in the following way:
Controller:
public function read() {
$object['controller'] = $this;
$this->load->view('read', $object);
}
View:
// to call controller function from view, do
$controller->myOtherFunct();
Codeigniter is an MVC (Model - View - Controller) framework. It's really not a good idea to call a function from the view. The view should be used just for presentation, and all your logic should be happening before you get to the view in the controllers and models.
A good start for clarifying the best practice is to follow this tutorial:
https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/tutorial/index.html
It's simple, but it really lays out an excellent how-to.
I hope this helps!
You can call a controller function with AJAX on your view.
In this case, I'm using the jQuery library to make the call.
<script type="text/javascript">
$.ajax({
url: "<?=site_url("controller/function")?>",
type: "post", // To protect sensitive data
data: {
ajax:true,
variableX: "string",
variableY: 25
//and any other variables you want to pass via POST
},
success:function(response){
// Handle the response object
}
});
</script>
This way you can create portions of code (modules) and reload them the AJAX method in a HTML container.
I would like to answer this question as this comes all times up in searches --
You can call a controller method in view, but please note that this is not a good practice in any MVC including codeigniter.
Your controller may be like below class --
<?php
class VCI_Controller extends CI_Controller {
....
....
function abc($id){
return $id ;
}
}
?>
Now You can call this function in view files as below --
<?php
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->abc($id) ;
?>
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
public $CI = NULL;
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->CI = & get_instance();
}
public function yourMethod() {
}
}
// in view just call
$this->CI->yourMethod();
Try this one.
Add this code in Your View file
$CI = & get_instance();
$result = $CI->FindFurnishName($pera);
Add code in Your controller File
public function FindFurnishName($furnish_filter)
{
$FindFurnishName = $this->index_modal->FindFurnishName($furnish_filter);
$FindFurnishName_val = '';
foreach($FindFurnishName as $AllRea)
{
$FindFurnishName_val .= ",".$AllRea->name;
}
return ltrim($FindFurnishName_val,',');
}
where
FindFurnishName is name of function which is define in Your Controller.
$pera is a option ( as your need).
One idea i can give is,
Call that function in controller itself and return value to view file. Like,
class Business extends CI_Controller {
public function index() {
$data['css'] = 'profile';
$data['cur_url'] = $this->getCurrURL(); // the function called and store val
$this->load->view("home_view",$data);
}
function getCurrURL() {
$currURL='http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/'.ltrim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'/').'';
return $currURL;
}
}
in view(home_view.php) use that variable. Like,
echo $cur_url;
views cannot call controller functions.
I know this is bad..
But I have been in hard situation where it is impossible to put this back to controller or model.
My solution is to call a function on model.
It can be do inside a view.
But you have to make sure the model has been loaded to your controller first.
Say your model main_model, you can call function on the model like this on your view :
$this->main_model->your_function();
Hope this help. :)
We can also pass controller function as variable in the view page.
class My_controller extends CI_Controller {
public function index() {
$data['val']=3;
$data['square']=function($val){
return $val*$val;
};
$this->load->view('my-view',$data);
}
}
In the view page
<p>Square of <?=$val?>
<?php
echo $square($val);
?>
</p>
The output is 9
it is quite simple just have the function correctly written in the controller class and use a tag to specify the controller class and method name, or any other neccessary parameter..
<?php
if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Iris extends CI_Controller {
function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('script');
$this->load->model('alert');
}public function pledge_ph(){
$this->script->phpledge();
}
}
?>
This is the controller class Iris.php
and the model class with the function pointed to from the controller class.
<?php
if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Script extends CI_Model {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
// Your own constructor code
}public function ghpledge(){
$gh_id = uniqid(rand(1,11));
$date=date("y-m-d");
$gh_member = $_SESSION['member_id'];
$amount= 10000;
$data = array(
'gh_id'=> $gh_id,
'gh_member'=> $gh_member,
'amount'=> $amount,
'date'=> $date
);
$this->db->insert('iris_gh',$data);
}
}
?>
On the view instead of a button just use the anchor link with the controller name and method name.
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
PLEDGE PH
</body>
</html>
I had this same issue , but after a couple of research I fond it out it's quite simple to do,
Locate this URL in your Codeigniter project: application/helpers/util_helper.php
add this below code
//you can define any kind of function but I have queried database in my case
//check if the function exist
if (!function_exists('yourfunctionname')) {
function yourfunctionname($param (if neccesary)) {
//get the instance
$ci = & get_instance();
// write your query with the instance class
$data = $ci->db->select('*');
$data = $ci->db->from('table');
$data = $ci->db->where('something', 'something');
//you can return anythting
$data = $ci->db->get()->num_rows();
if ($data > 0) {
return $data;
} else {
return 0;
}
}
}
I know this question is old but it is still a relevant question. From my experience there are situations that warrant calling a function from view in your Codeigniter 4 app, I'll just advise that you keep it clean and minimal. Below is how I have called controller function from view:
In your controller file add this code
public function index()
{
$data = [];
$model = new UsersModel();
$data['users'] = $model->findAll();
// $this refers to the controller to be called from view
$data['callfromview'] = $this;
return view('users', $data)
}
In your view, call the controller like this:
<?php $something = $callfromview->fetch_data($id);?>
Finally in the controller, create the fetch_data function
public function fetch_data($id)
{
$image = new ImageModel();
return $image->find($id);
}
the END!
if you need to call a controller from a view,
maybe to load a partial view,
you thinking as modular programming,
and you should implement HMVC structure in lieu of plane MVC.
CodeIgniter didnt implement HMVC natively,
but you can use this useful library in order to implement HMVC.
https://bitbucket.org/wiredesignz/codeigniter-modular-extensions-hmvc
after setup
remember:that all your controllers should extends from MX_Controller in order to using this feature.
Go to the top of your View code and do it like this :
<?php
$this->load->model('MyModelName');
$MyFunctionReturnValue = $this->MyModelName->MyFunctionName($param));
?>
<div class="row">
Your HTML CODE

I am following this tutorial http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/rest.html to get up and running with REST in my CakePHP application.
I have added the following to my routes.php file:
Router::mapResources(array('fantasyPicks', 'fantasyPlayers'));
Router::parseExtensions();
In each of my controllers, I have included the RequestHandler component and also setContent to json in the beforeFilter() callback. It looks something like this:
class FantasyPicksController extends AppController {
public $components = array('RequestHandler');
public function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->RequestHandler->setContent('json','text/x-json');
$this->layout = 'json/default';
}
public function index() {
$fantasyPicks = $this->FantasyPick->find('all');
$this->set('json', $fantasyPicks);
$this->render('/json/data');
}
...
My json/data view simply echos json_encode:
<?php echo json_encode($json); ?>
After all of this, navigating to /fantasyPicks/view/1 works as expected. However, /fantasyPicks/1 is giving me the following error:
Missing Method in FantasyPicksController
Error: The action 1 is not defined in controller FantasyPicksController
Error: Create FantasyPicksController::1() in file: app\Controller\FantasyPicksController.php.
<?php
class FantasyPicksController extends AppController {
public function 1() {
}
}
Does anyone know what I am doing incorrectly? Any help is appreciated!
You have to use proper controller naming conventions when accessing the page.
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/getting-started/cakephp-conventions.html
Refer to the URL considerations section. So you should be going to /fantasy_picks/1 and it will work properly.

Hey! I'm very new to Codeigniter, I'm trying to protect the entire admin controller. I figured I'd start here:
function Admin()
{
parent::Controller();
if(!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])){
$this->login();
}
}
but this is obviously incomplete. How do I also stop the method that is trying to run ( ie index() ), and am I on the right track here??
Thanks for your help!!
there is
Extend the base controllers:
MY_Controller.php
<?php
class MY_Controller extends Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::Controller();
$user_id = $this->session->userdata('user_id');
$this->data['user'] = $this->user_lib->get($user_id);
}
}
?>
you can store all kinds of info in this construct. This just gets the currently logged in users ID and assigns it the $data['user'] . This will be adjusted depending on which sort of auth library you use but you get the gist. You now have access to the current users ID, and all their details, from within any controller that extends "MY_Controller"
now you can create an "admin" controller, or any number of other ones to restrict access. like so:
Admin_Controller.php
<?php
class Admin_Controller extends MY_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::Controller();
if($this->data['user']['group'] !== 'admin')
{
show_error('Error - you need to be an admin.');
}
}
}
?>
Public_controller.php
<?php
class Public_Controller extends MY_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::Controller();
if($this->data['user']['group'] !== 'member')
{
show_error('You need to login to see this page...');
}
}
}
?>
as you can see..possibilities are endless
So, for admin only pages - use the admin controller
for member only pages - public
for "normal" pages - use the default controller.
I'll link to Phil Sturgeon's article as it's where I read about it first
put the checking session code in every function in Admin Controller that you want to protect.
that is the easiest way to do it..
