| 426 | <h1>Static pages<a class="headerlink" href="#static-pages" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1> |
| 427 | <p><strong>Note:</strong> This tutorial assumes you’ve downloaded CodeIgniter and |
| 428 | <a class="reference internal" href="../installation/index.html"><span class="doc">installed the framework</span></a> in your |
| 429 | development environment.</p> |
| 430 | <p>The first thing you’re going to do is set up a <strong>controller</strong> to handle |
| 431 | static pages. A controller is simply a class that helps delegate work. |
| 432 | It is the glue of your web application.</p> |
| 433 | <p>For example, when a call is made to:</p> |
| 434 | <blockquote> |
| 435 | <div><a class="reference external" href="http://example.com/news/latest/10">http://example.com/news/latest/10</a></div></blockquote> |
| 436 | <p>We might imagine that there is a controller named “news”. The method |
| 437 | being called on news would be “latest”. The news method’s job could be to |
| 438 | grab 10 news items, and render them on the page. Very often in MVC, |
| 439 | you’ll see URL patterns that match:</p> |
| 440 | <blockquote> |
| 441 | <div><a class="reference external" href="http://example.com/[controller-class]/[controller-method]/[arguments">http://example.com/[controller-class]/[controller-method]/[arguments</a>]</div></blockquote> |
| 442 | <p>As URL schemes become more complex, this may change. But for now, this |
| 443 | is all we will need to know.</p> |
| 444 | <p>Create a file at <em>application/controllers/Pages.php</em> with the following |
| 445 | code.</p> |
| 446 | <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o"><?</span><span class="nx">php</span> |
| 447 | <span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">Pages</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">CI_Controller</span> <span class="p">{</span> |
| 448 | |
| 449 | <span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">view</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$page</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'home'</span><span class="p">)</span> |
| 450 | <span class="p">{</span> |
| 451 | <span class="p">}</span> |
| 452 | <span class="p">}</span> |
| 453 | </pre></div> |
| 454 | </div> |
| 455 | <p>You have created a class named <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Pages</span></code>, with a view method that accepts |
| 456 | one argument named <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$page</span></code>. The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Pages</span></code> class is extending the |
| 457 | <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CI_Controller</span></code> class. This means that the new pages class can access the |
| 458 | methods and variables defined in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CI_Controller</span></code> class |
| 459 | (<em>system/core/Controller.php</em>).</p> |
| 460 | <p>The <strong>controller is what will become the center of every request</strong> to |
| 461 | your web application. In very technical CodeIgniter discussions, it may |
| 462 | be referred to as the <em>super object</em>. Like any php class, you refer to |
| 463 | it within your controllers as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></code>. Referring to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></code> is how |
| 464 | you will load libraries, views, and generally command the framework.</p> |
| 465 | <p>Now you’ve created your first method, it’s time to make some basic page |
| 466 | templates. We will be creating two “views” (page templates) that act as |
| 467 | our page footer and header.</p> |
| 468 | <p>Create the header at <em>application/views/templates/header.php</em> and add |
| 469 | the following code:</p> |
| 470 | <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o"><</span><span class="nx">html</span><span class="o">></span> |
| 471 | <span class="o"><</span><span class="nx">head</span><span class="o">></span> |
| 472 | <span class="o"><</span><span class="nx">title</span><span class="o">></span><span class="nx">CodeIgniter</span> <span class="nx">Tutorial</span><span class="o"></</span><span class="nx">title</span><span class="o">></span> |
| 473 | <span class="o"></</span><span class="nx">head</span><span class="o">></span> |
| 474 | <span class="o"><</span><span class="nx">body</span><span class="o">></span> |
| 475 | |
| 476 | <span class="o"><</span><span class="nx">h1</span><span class="o">><?</span><span class="nx">php</span> <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$title</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="cp">?></span><span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">h1</span><span class="p">></span> |
| 477 | </pre></div> |
| 478 | </div> |
| 479 | <p>The header contains the basic HTML code that you’ll want to display |
| 480 | before loading the main view, together with a heading. It will also |
| 481 | output the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$title</span></code> variable, which we’ll define later in the controller. |
| 482 | Now, create a footer at <em>application/views/templates/footer.php</em> that |

| 490 | <h2>Adding logic to the controller<a class="headerlink" href="#adding-logic-to-the-controller" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> |
| 491 | <p>Earlier you set up a controller with a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">view()</span></code> method. The method |
| 492 | accepts one parameter, which is the name of the page to be loaded. The |
| 493 | static page templates will be located in the <em>application/views/pages/</em> |
| 494 | directory.</p> |
| 495 | <p>In that directory, create two files named <em>home.php</em> and <em>about.php</em>. |
| 496 | Within those files, type some text − anything you’d like − and save them. |
| 497 | If you like to be particularly un-original, try “Hello World!”.</p> |
| 498 | <p>In order to load those pages, you’ll have to check whether the requested |
| 499 | page actually exists:</p> |
| 500 | <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">view</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$page</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'home'</span><span class="p">)</span> |

| 513 | <span class="p">}</span> |
| 514 | </pre></div> |
| 515 | </div> |
| 516 | <p>Now, when the page does exist, it is loaded, including the header and |
| 517 | footer, and displayed to the user. If the page doesn’t exist, a “404 |
| 518 | Page not found” error is shown.</p> |
| 519 | <p>The first line in this method checks whether the page actually exists. |
| 520 | PHP’s native <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">file_exists()</span></code> function is used to check whether the file |
| 521 | is where it’s expected to be. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">show_404()</span></code> is a built-in CodeIgniter |
| 522 | function that renders the default error page.</p> |
| 523 | <p>In the header template, the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$title</span></code> variable was used to customize the |
| 524 | page title. The value of title is defined in this method, but instead of |
| 525 | assigning the value to a variable, it is assigned to the title element |
| 526 | in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$data</span></code> array.</p> |
| 527 | <p>The last thing that has to be done is loading the views in the order |
| 528 | they should be displayed. The second parameter in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">view()</span></code> method is |
| 529 | used to pass values to the view. Each value in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$data</span></code> array is |
| 530 | assigned to a variable with the name of its key. So the value of |
| 531 | <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$data['title']</span></code> in the controller is equivalent to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$title</span></code> in the |
| 532 | view.</p> |
| 533 | </div> |
| 534 | <div class="section" id="routing"> |
| 535 | <h2>Routing<a class="headerlink" href="#routing" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> |
| 536 | <p>The controller is now functioning! Point your browser to |
| 537 | <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[your-site-url]index.php/pages/view</span></code> to see your page. When you visit |
| 538 | <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">index.php/pages/view/about</span></code> you’ll see the about page, again including |
| 539 | the header and footer.</p> |
| 540 | <p>Using custom routing rules, you have the power to map any URI to any |
| 541 | controller and method, and break free from the normal convention: |
| 542 | <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">http://example.com/[controller-class]/[controller-method]/[arguments]</span></code></p> |
| 543 | <p>Let’s do that. Open the routing file located at |
| 544 | <em>application/config/routes.php</em> and add the following two lines. |
| 545 | Remove all other code that sets any element in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$route</span></code> array.</p> |
| 546 | <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'default_controller'</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'pages/view'</span><span class="p">;</span> |
| 547 | <span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'(:any)'</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'pages/view/$1'</span><span class="p">;</span> |
| 548 | </pre></div> |
| 549 | </div> |
| 550 | <p>CodeIgniter reads its routing rules from top to bottom and routes the |
| 551 | request to the first matching rule. Each rule is a regular expression |
| 552 | (left-side) mapped to a controller and method name separated by slashes |
| 553 | (right-side). When a request comes in, CodeIgniter looks for the first |
| 554 | match, and calls the appropriate controller and method, possibly with |
| 555 | arguments.</p> |
| 556 | <p>More information about routing can be found in the URI Routing |
| 557 | <a class="reference internal" href="../general/routing.html"><span class="doc">documentation</span></a>.</p> |
| 558 | <p>Here, the second rule in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$routes</span></code> array matches <strong>any</strong> request |
| 559 | using the wildcard string <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">(:any)</span></code>. and passes the parameter to the |
| 560 | <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">view()</span></code> method of the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Pages</span></code> class.</p> |
| 561 | <p>Now visit <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">index.php/about</span></code>. Did it get routed correctly to the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">view()</span></code> |
| 562 | method in the pages controller? Awesome!</p> |
