Have recently started using Codeigniter and have gotten through most of the tutorials. I'd like to convert a smallish PHP/MySQL website to run entirely on the CI framework. The code is four years old, written in PHP4, and is a mess. I don't mind rewriting all of it.

The problem I'm having is find the 'right' solution to this problem. I'd like to keep the code as OOP/PHP5 as possible, and as clean as possible as well. The website has five six main components arranged in to DIVs. Two stack to form a center column, one left, one right, one header/menu, and one dynamically filled Fancybox. The current index.php simply calls header.php, then goes on to <div class="class1"><include ('box1.php')</div> and so on.

The codeigniter examples I've seen use $this->load->view('header') and footer on each template file to get the structure set up. This seems to be a redundant and messy way to handle the header, loading of the CSS file, etc.

What is the proper way to get these controllers and associated views loaded? The codeignite开发者_运维问答r version of a 'wrapper', if you will.

get a template library, i personally prefer working with either of Colin Williams or Phil Sturgeons.

in essence, you do something like this: (assuming "layout" is your HTML template)

layout.php (view)

<html>
<head>
  <title><?=$title;?></title>
  <?=$metaData;?>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="left">
    <?=$leftContent;?>
  </div>
  <div id="main">
    <?=$main;?>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

then in your controller:

site.php (controller)

class Site extends Controller {

  function __construct()
  {
      $this->load->library('template');
      $this->template->set_layout('layout');
  }

  function index()
  {
      $this->template->write_region('title', 'This is my title');
      $data['somedata'] = 'foo'
      $this->template->write_region('main', 'My content', $data);
      $this->template->render();
  }
}

This will output your data in to your template, without needing to have load views each time etc.

My syntax is a little off, so check library specific docs for the correct code, but template libraries are the way to go imo.
