Calling controller methods from inside view in Codeigniter

Question

Is there a way to call a method inside the controller from our view using codeigniter.I know it is a bad practice but, now I force to do this.Thank you

Answer 1

You can just do:

$this->controller_method();

While this might answer your question, I personally agree with the comments of – Matthew J Morrison and DamienL.

Answer 2

in your controller put

$data['myClass'] = $this;

That way when you send the data to the view, it will load the controller :)

Then you can access the methods like

$myClass->method();
