<h1>Output Class</h1>
|
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
<p>The Output class is a small class with one main function: To send the finalized web page to the requesting browser. It is
|
|
|
62 |
also responsible for <a href="../general/caching.html">caching</a> your web pages, if you use that feature.</p>
|
|
|
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
|
|
|
65 |
|
|
|
66 |
<p>Under normal circumstances you won't even notice the Output class since it works transparently without your intervention.
|
|
|
67 |
For example, when you use the <a href="../libraries/loader.html">Loader</a> class to load a view file, it's automatically
|
|
|
68 |
passed to the Output class, which will be called automatically by CodeIgniter at the end of system execution.
|
|
|
69 |
It is possible, however, for you to manually intervene with the output if you need to, using either of the two following functions:</p>
|
|
|
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
<h2>$this->output->set_output();</h2>
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
|
73 |
<p>Permits you to manually set the final output string. Usage example:</p>
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
<code>$this->output->set_output($data);</code>
|
|
|
76 |
|
|
|
77 |
<p><strong>Important:</strong> If you do set your output manually, it must be the last thing done in the function you call it from.
|
|
|
78 |
For example, if you build a page in one of your controller functions, don't set the output until the end.</p>
|
|
|
79 |
|
|
|
80 |
|
|
|
81 |
<h2>$this->output->get_output();</h2>
|
|
|
82 |
|
|
|
83 |
<p>Permits you to manually retrieve any output that has been sent for storage in the output class. Usage example:</p>
|
|
|
84 |
<code>$string = $this->output->get_output();</code>
|
|
|
85 |
|
|
|
86 |
<p>Note that data will only be retrievable from this function if it has been previously sent to the output class by one of the
|
|
|
87 |
CodeIgniter functions like <var>$this->load->view()</var>.</p>
|
|
|
88 |
|
|
|
89 |
|
|
|
90 |
<h2>$this->output->set_header();</h2>
|
|
|
91 |
|
|
|
92 |
<p>Permits you to manually set server headers, which the output class will send for you when outputting the final rendered display. Example:</p>
|
|
|
93 |
|
|
|
94 |
<code>
|
|
|
95 |
$this->output->set_header("HTTP/1.0 200 OK");<br />
|
|
|
96 |
$this->output->set_header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");<br />
|
|
|
97 |
$this->output->set_header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $last_update).' GMT');<br />
|
|
|
98 |
$this->output->set_header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");<br />
|
|
|
99 |
$this->output->set_header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0");<br />
|
|
|
100 |
$this->output->set_header("Pragma: no-cache"); </code>
|
|
|
101 |
|
|
|
102 |
|
|
|
103 |
<h2>$this->output->set_status_header();</h2>
|
|
|
104 |
|
|
|
105 |
<p>Permits you to manually set a server status header. Example:</p>
|
|
|
106 |
|
|
|
107 |
<code>$this->output->set_status_header('401');<br />
|
|
|
108 |
// Sets the header as: Unauthorized</code>
|
|
|
109 |
|
|
|
110 |
<p><a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html">See here</a> for a full list of headers.</p>
|
|
|
111 |
|
|
|
112 |
<h2>$this->output->enable_profiler();</h2>
|
|
|
113 |
|
|
|
114 |
<p>Permits you to enable/disable the <a href="../general/profiling.html">Profiler</a>, which will display benchmark and other data
|
|
|
115 |
at the bottom of your pages for debugging and optimization purposes.</p>
|
|
|
116 |
|
|
|
117 |
<p>To enable the profiler place the following function anywhere within your <a href="../general/controllers.html">Controller</a> functions:</p>
|
|
|
118 |
<code>$this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);</code>
|
|
|
119 |
|
|
|
120 |
<p>When enabled a report will be generated and inserted at the bottom of your pages.</p>
|
|
|
121 |
|
|
|
122 |
<p>To disable the profiler you will use:</p>
|
|
|
123 |
<code>$this->output->enable_profiler(FALSE);</code>
|
|
|
124 |
|
|
|
125 |
|
|
|
126 |
<h2>$this->output->cache();</h2>
|
|
|
127 |
<p>The CodeIgniter output library also controls caching. For more information, please see the <a href="../general/caching.html">caching documentation</a>.</p>
