Question

How to call codeigniter controller function from view? When i call the function in a controller, get a 404 page.

Answer 1

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(); 

Answer 2

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:

It's simple, but it really lays out an excellent how-to.

I hope this helps!
