Code Igniter MVC Displaying Basic View

Excuse me if this is slightly newbie.

I have the main view located @ app/views/index.php as:

<?php echo $head ?>

</head>
<body>

<div id="container">
    <h1>Welcome to CodeIgniter!</h1>

    <div id="body">
        <p>The page you are looking at is being generated dynamically by CodeIgniter.</p>

        <p>If you would like to edit this page you'll find it located at:</p>
        <code>application/views/welcome_message.php</code>

        <p>The corresponding controller for this page is found at:</p>
        <code>application/controllers/welcome.php</code>

        <p>If you are exploring CodeIgniter for the very first time, you should start by reading the <a href="user_guide/">User Guide</a>.</p>
    </div>

    <p class="footer">Page rendered in <strong>{elapsed_time}</strong> seconds</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>

The header_meta.php file located at (app/views):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Title</title>
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="img/favicon.ico" />
    <!--meta-->

the controller, named SpecialPage.php located at app/controllers/:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class SpecialPage extends CI_Controller {

    function SpecialPage(){
        parent::CI_Controller();
    }

    public function index()
    {
        $head = $this->load->view('header_meta', '', true);
        $this->load->view('index', array('head' => $head));
    }
}

/* End of file welcome.php */
/* Location: ./application/controllers/welcome.php */

Error I'm getting on SpecialPage.php controller: Call to undefined method CI_Controller::CI_Controller() on line 6 which is: function SpecialPage(){ parent::CI_Controller(); }

Why is this still just showing a 404 error?????

Try to add this code to your controller maybe you miss this

function SpecialPage(){

        parent::CI_Controller();
}

Note : Make sure that your controller name is the same with the file name

And I have another question bro,How you call the page to load?

Gudluck!!

The function SpecialPage() should be __construct() and parent::CI_Controller() should be parent::__construct();.

Good luck

Your page should be named as:

  • specialPage.php instead of index.php under your controller folder.

  • Read here for more about controller naming conventions.

  • This is either expected to use like yourhost.com/index.php/specialPage or yourhost.com/specialPage (if your .htaccess rewrite is enabled).

  • Codeigniter tries to open a file depending upon what classname (via controller/model) you specify. Codenigniter has no idea why it should load index.php for your class files (unless you specify your classname as Index).

And I personally recommend not to use index.php for your files as it may confuse you and others, that this would be a self-loading file. Whereas, in codeigniter, the only self-loading file is index.php in the root folder of your codeigniter installation. And all other files are loaded through index.php (and files that it further includes) only.

I suppose it's this line:

<?php $this->load->view('header_meta.php'); ?>

The ".php" extension seems to be the culprit.

BTW, I do not recommend using PHP code in your views (except echoes and loops). Much better is to compose it in your controller:

$head = $this->load->view('header_meta', '', true);
$this->load->view('index', array('head' => $head));

Obviously, the "$t>l>v()" must be changed to "echo $head". Or, the way I prefer (using a template view):

$body = $this->load->view('index', '', true);
$this->load->view('template', array('body' => $body));
