codeigniter - controller load multiple views

Question

I made a website but in two versions one for normal users and one for the mobile users and for both I made view page and also with multilanguage options, first I add in controller

public function index()
    {
        if ($this->input->get("lang") =="en")
            $this->load->view('en_signup');
        else
            $this->load->view('ar_signup');
        $this->load->helper('url');
    }
}

I made pages with name of marabic.php and menglish.php for mobile users now first I need to load these pages also but not mix with the original/default view pages, because I already mention java cript in default view page when its detect mobile user it redirect to m.domainname.com now I want to figure out this issue, please suggest.

this means if your language is english you need to load `en_signup.php` for website and `menglish.php` if mobile user, same for arabic.right? — user2936213, Jan 13 '14 at 08:27
yes you are right, right now what the controller do default open form in arabic okey on arabic form i mention english anchor so if any one need english click and go on english, now i made a mobile version for the same website so i need to control two views , even i use java script for mobile detection in default view when url is open it check if user from mobile redirect it. when i use to load the view so it mix both mobile and normal view. — FormaL, Jan 13 '14 at 08:34

You can detect if a user is visiting from a mobile device by using CodeIgniter's User Agent library.

$this->load->library('user_agent');

if ($this->agent->is_mobile()) {
 // Load mobile view
}

`public function index() { if ($this->input->get("lang") =="en") $this->load->view('en_signup'); else $this->load->view('ar_signup'); $this->load->library('user_agent'); if ($this->agent->is_mobile()) { if ($this->input->get("language") =="english") $this->load->view('menglish'); else $this->load->view('marabic'); } $this->load->helper('url'); } }` its correct? – FormaL Jan 13 '14 at 08:06
You don't need me to write your code for you, surely? You'll need curly braces around your if/else statements. – mcryan Jan 13 '14 at 08:11
when i load the view only for mobile it mix index view page and mobile view two views mix it how can i sort out – FormaL Jan 13 '14 at 08:21
Put curly braces around your statements and only call a single view. `if ($statement) { //do something }` – mcryan Jan 13 '14 at 08:22
' public function index() { if ($this->input->get("lang") =="en") $this->load->view('en_signup'); else $this->load->view('ar_signup'); } public function mobile() if ($this->agent->is_mobile()) { $this->load->view('marabic'); else $this->load->view('ar_signup'); } $this->load->helper('url'); $this->load->library('user_agent');' now its correct? – FormaL Jan 13 '14 at 08:31
No. You need to go to be very basics of programming. Pasting that into my editor shows several syntax errors. – mcryan Jan 13 '14 at 08:41

Try this:

public function index()
{
    $this->load->library('user_agent');
    $this->load->helper('url');
    if ($this->input->get("lang") =="en"){
        if ($this->agent->is_mobile()) {
          $this->load->view('menglish');
        } else {
          $this->load->view('en_signup');
        }
    } else {
        if ($this->agent->is_mobile()) {
          $this->load->view('marabic');
        } else {
          $this->load->view('ar_signup');
        }
  }
}

one more thing i wana ask, after the submission of form in database i wana generate confirmation from our side – FormaL Jan 13 '14 at 10:50
so for that you can use `$this->session->set_flashdata();`. For more details see this: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/sessions.html – user2936213 Jan 13 '14 at 11:02
[link](http://pastebin.com/GBMUSvPp) Please check The code as i discuss with you, now the default page when i submit the form it shows no page found even data not submitting in db please suggest old working default page also off. – FormaL Jan 13 '14 at 12:08
Where did you load `$this->load->library('user_agent');` library? – user2936213 Jan 13 '14 at 12:09
In Controller Two Files I have welcome.php & user.php both file codes i share. – FormaL Jan 13 '14 at 12:14
you need to load this library in users.php controller also if you are using `$this->agent->is_mobile()` in users.php controller – user2936213 Jan 13 '14 at 12:23
`class User extends CI_Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $this->load->helper('form'); $this->load->helper('url'); $this->load->library('user_agent');` I load library but when i submit form shows page not found. – FormaL Jan 13 '14 at 12:28
