CodeIgniter 4 and PHP MVC basics: controllers, views and layouts

[@chevalier5691]

Thanks a ton! Been looking for a non-tutorial style Codeigniter course cos I wanna focus solely on architectural knowledge, found the perfect video.

[@ThirdBird295]

Thank you,... This just cleared a lot off Fog 🔥

[@ollikkikk3741]

Searched high and low... came across this Hollingsworth guy again. And again he save me from pulling my hair out. Excellent explanation! Thank you again.

Nice and clear explanation! Looking forward for the next videos on this series on CodeIgniter! Thanks!!

[@bravenoobstreaming3794]

just awesome, you have brillient teaching art, please give the full video for codeignitor

[@annadogaeva9844]

Perfect English, great explanation, amazing content 🤗

[@MobiusCoin]

Cool! I LOVE how basic you go at the beginning. This is what I am missing as a front-end developer trying to learn backend. Even if I understand the basics of programming really well, I don't understand the fundamental architecture. This has been super enlightening. Will you do a series on Laravel as well?

[@dave-hollingworth]

Thank you for your kind comments! I have a Laravel series on my list to do when I get chance, yes :-)

[@joel-rg8xm]

Need more of this!!!

[@someutubchannel69]

Will You continue on this series? Or Do You have a course about MVC and/or CodeIgniter?

[@dave-hollingworth]

I have courses on both of those, linked to in the description. I will add some more CI videos in the future however, no ETA at the moment but they are on my list.

great explaination!!! i just started learning CI4 (no background of previous versions), as a newbie from Oracle Forms & Apex, i want to ask is there a way i can create a 'Single View' for both methods Add & Edit ? like we can have in Oracle Forms and Oracle Apex and/or like a single Method to perform different tasks as per parameter, if so, please provide a link to the guide from where i can create a single Modal Form for both operations changing $title and passing primary key in case of Edit otherwise it will be blank to Add. regards.

[@dave-hollingworth]

Yes, kind of - you can create add and edit views, and include in them a common form view that contains the same form fields. This way you only have the form code once.

[@ahmedharoon2740]

@@dave-hollingworth thanks very much for very quick response and help. will try how i can achieve this as i mentioned i am newbie, just few days back started learning CI 4. kind regards

[@dave-hollingworth]

@@ahmedharoon2740 You can create a view that contains the form, then include this in another view like this: this would include the view app/Views/Users/form.php

[@ShubhamMishra-uw9yi]

Hello sir. Does udmey course includes how to use pagination and third party library using composer? And does it had method to create admin panel and front end with same library? Thank you

[@dave-hollingworth]

Yes, the course covers pagination, CRUD, user admin and more. You can see the full list in the course description following the link under the video.

Wonder why the "Routes.php" file is SO different now in version 4.5.5??

[@rizaimm8169]

Thank you mate

[@PHP-MySQL]

did you not have to create routes for the tasks controller to work?

[@dave-hollingworth]

No, it uses autorouting (I know this isn't recommended now - I'll be updating this video when I get chance)

[@PHP-MySQL]

@@dave-hollingworth Can you help me to understand? Is it the new recommendation now to manually create routes for every controller?

[@dave-hollingworth]

@@PHP-MySQL I believe so, but I haven't had chance to look into it in detail yet

[@ahmedharoon2740]

hi, in Codeigniter 4, can i have an example of 2 tables master-detail like i can create in Oracle Apex where master is in Form style single record (in above region) and detail in Grd style multi-row (say tabular using datatable etc.), i failed to find yet, please help us. regards

[@dave-hollingworth]

Yes you could do that, but I'm not aware of any part of CodeIgniter that would do that for you automatically, you'd have to query the necessary data manually in a controller method

[@ahmedharoon2740]

@@dave-hollingworth thank you sir for your reply. it is simple for seniors like you, i am a very beginner, even don't know about editable datatable how to's... so please please, give us a working example or a link from where i can understand what i want to achieve using CI4 + JS etc. regards

[@dave-hollingworth]

@@ahmedharoon2740 I do plan to make a datatables video at some point, but I can't say when I'll be able to do it - in the meantime I would suggest the official documentation and examples there, they're very good - try it with plain PHP first, then you can get a CI application to produce the same data

hi, I am working on Codeigniter 4.2.1 localhost as i placed default controller in URL it showing error "404 File not Found Can't find a route for 'get: /home'."

[@dave-hollingworth]

You need a getIndex method instead of just an index method (this is the new routing since 4.2)

[@TeacherRichPH]

Hi. Why do i need to use public to access the home?

[@dave-hollingworth]

It's for security - it prevents access to the source code in a browser. More details here: codeigniter.com/user_guide/concepts/structure.html#public

[@TeacherRichPH]

@@dave-hollingworth but in your urls no public was added

[@dave-hollingworth]

@@TeacherRichPH You configure the web server so that the public folder is the root folder. So the file public/index.php for example would be available in the web root, e.g. localhost/index.php

Hi Dave, May I ask you if your Codeigniter course on udemy is up to date? I have already join 4 of your courses in udemy

[@dave-hollingworth]

Yes, I completely updated it recently. It's a couple of minor versions behind the latest release, but the content has been amended where necessary to reflect the changes.

[@jayavarapumani4532]

hii sir i have doubt in php please clarify the doubt my doubt is :Creation of dynamic property CI_URI::$config is deprecated what the solution

[@dave-hollingworth]

You need to upgrade your CI version, or if it's not that, make sure you're not creating any properties dynamically in your PHP classes

It's really a nice tutorial, but the copy and pasting, I think isn't a good practice, even if you try to save time. Thank you!

[@dave-hollingworth]

Thank you for the feedback! I found that typing everything in did waste a lot of the viewer's time, so I try and highlight everything when inserting it using that method. Some like it, some don't. I haven't come up with an alternative that everyone likes yet!

[@ademineshat]

@@dave-hollingworth Thanks for the reply :) What about both methods? of course, not everyone likes writing HTML and CSS to make it look better, but imagine when we write notes, not that we will read them after, but writing helps us remember things! Best regards ✌️
