Static Pages Tutorial

This tutorial assumes you’ve downloaded CodeIgniter and installed the framework in your development environment.

Make our First Controller

Create a file at app/Controllers/Pages.php with following code:
Make a file name Pages.php and copy paste below code in your Pages.php file:
Run one command at a time.
if you folder name is different from ci rename it as ci to use furthure commands:

cd
cd /var/www/html/ 
sudo mv your-file-name ci

- now check your folder is renamed or not by navigating /var/www/html/.

```console
cd
cd /var/www/html/ci/app/Controllers/
touch Pages.php

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

class Pages extends BaseController
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('welcome_message');
    }

    public function view($page = 'home')
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Note : if you are using vim editor(or wants to use vim : sudo apt-get install vim ) use press esc and then :wq to save and quit simlarly :q to quit without saving. Open file in vim use vim file_name. use arrow to nagigate.

Create the header at app/Views/templates/header.php and add the following code:

cd
cd /var/www/html/ci/app/Views/
mkdir templates
cd templates/
touch header.php

Now open the file header.php and add following code:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>CodeIgniter Tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>

    <h1><?= esc($title) ?></h1>

Now make file name footer.php

cd
cd /var/www/html/ci/app/Views/
mkdir templates
cd templates/
touch footer.php

Now add the following code to footer.php.

    <em>&copy;Kumar Abhinav 2021</em>
</body>
</html>

now navigate to app/Views/pages.

cd
cd /var/www/html/ci/app/Views/
mkdir pages
cd pages
touch home.php
touch about.php

Add following code to home.php:

<?php
echo "Hello World"
?>

Add following code to about.php:

<?php
echo" Hello World I am about page ";
?>

Now edit your Pages.php under /var/www/html/ci/app/Controller/.

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

class Pages extends BaseController
{
    public function view($page = 'home')
    {
        if (! is_file(APPPATH . 'Views/pages/' . $page . '.php')) {
            // Whoops, we don't have a page for that!
            throw new \CodeIgniter\Exceptions\PageNotFoundException($page);
        }

        $data['title'] = ucfirst($page); // Capitalize the first letter

        return view('templates/header', $data)
            . view('pages/' . $page)
            . view('templates/footer');
    }
}

Now made change in Routing:

cd
cd /var/www/html/ci/app/Config/

Edit Route.php and add below two line after line 38.

$routes->get('pages', 'Pages::index');
$routes->get('(:any)', 'Pages::view/$1');

Now visit localhost/ci/public/index.php/home and localhost/ci/public/index.php/about if you see the home page and about page then work is done. you have your static page now you can add anything in place of hello word and publish on localhost.
