How to include header footer in CodeIgniter
First of all, create a common file in the view folder. In this example, I have created a file name as template.php in applications/views/innerpages directory.
File structure:
applications/view/innerpages
- footer.php
- header.php
- template.php
applications/controllers
- Welcome.phptemplate.php
<?php
$this->load->view('innerpages/header.php');
$this->load->view($main_content);
$this->load->view('innerpages/footer.php');
?>In the above example, $main_content is a dynamic view for each page.
header.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
</head>
<body>footer.php
<h1><?php $heading; ?></h1>
</body>
</html>applications/controllers/Welcome.php
class Welcome extends CI_Controller {
public function index() {
$data = [];
$data[‘title’] = ‘Page Title’;
$data[‘heading’] = ‘Welcome to infovistar.com’
$data[‘main_content’] = ‘about_us’; // page name
$this->load->view(‘innerpages/template’, $data);
}
}
