I am creating a form and I want to make a custom error log, for example when the user leaves e-mail empty, I want to give my error_helper the variable email, sending to the user that he did not fill in this variable and log that he left this empty. I am a starter with codeIgniter and i've read the manual but I did not find anything helpful. Here is my code:
public function submitCheck() {
$this->load->model("User");
if(empty($post['email'] || 'email'==""))
{
echo "Email is empty."; //This will be changed to a view for user
$this->load->helper('error'); //Loading the helper
errorLog('Firstname'); //Variable I want to give to the errorLog function.
exit();
}
So here I've given my errorLog a variable, wich I want to use in my error_helper
function errorLog(){
if(errorLog() == 'email') //Here I want to change the error function based on what variable I give to errorLog
{
log_message('error', 'Email was empty');
exit();
}
}
Is this possible to do or some other way how I can change the function based on what variable I give my errorLog. Thanks in advance
You need to pass parameter into your helper function
Controller file
public function submitCheck() {
$this->load->model("User");
if(empty($post['email']))
{
// echo "Email is empty."; //This will be changed to a view for user
$this->load->helper('error'); //Loading the helper
echo $msg= errorLog('Firstname'); //Variable I want to give to the errorLog function.
}
Helper file
function errorLog($var){ // get the variable thet you have pass from your helper
if($var == 'email') //Here I want to change the error function based on what variable I give to errorLog
{
return log_message('error', 'Email was empty');// here you use return type
}
if($var == 'test')
{
return log_message('error', 'Test was empty');// here you use return type
}
}
Also load your helper in controller constructor file or autoload.php file
Read parameter in the function:
function errorLog($var){
if($var== 'email') //Here I want to change the error function based on what variable I give to errorLog
{
log_message('error', 'Email was empty');
exit();
}
}
