Thanks a lot for answering my question before
So I have another problem in my Codeigniter, it's still the same project, just counting data rows in my database.
What I would like to do is creating a function in a Controller, and then call that function in a View.
So here's my ORIGINAL code:
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Dash_control extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->database();
$this->load->model('dash_model');
}
public function index()
{
$data['cashtotal']=$this->dash_model->totalCash();
$data['approvedtocash']=$this->dash_model->cashapproved();
$data['rejectedtocash']=$this->dash_model->cashrejected();
$this->load->view('dashboard',$data);
}
}
and then here's my view code:
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Bank Name</th>
<th>Total Transaction</th>
<th>Cash Approved</th>
<th>Cash Rejected</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="warning">
<td>Awesome Bank</td>
<td><?php echo $cashtotal; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $approvedtocash; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $rejectedtocash; ?></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
With the codes above, everything works fine. Until I modified my code like this one below (with the same view file like above):
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Dash_control extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->database();
$this->load->model('dash_model');
}
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('dashboard');
}
public function anotherfunction()
{
$data['cashtotal']=$this->dash_model->totalCash();
$data['approvedtocash']=$this->dash_model->cashapproved();
$data['rejectedtocash']=$this->dash_model->cashrejected();
$this->load->view('dashboard',$data);
}
}
After that I got this error on my browser:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined variable: cashtotal
Filename: views/dashboard.php
Line Number: 147
Backtrace:

File: C:\xampp\htdocs\application\controllers\dash_control.php
Line: 18
Function: view
File: C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php
Line: 292

What did I do wrong? Is there something I'm missing? So I can't create multiple function inside my controller? Thank you before.
UPDATE
I followed Saty's guide and it worked. Thanks a lot! Since this is a table, I would like to add another function, so I add it up like this:
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Dash_control extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->database();
$this->load->model('dash_model');
}
public function index()
{
$this->CashTransSum();
$this->PayTransSum();
}
public function CashTransSum()
{
$data['cashtotal']=$this->dash_model->totalCash();
$data['approvedcash']=$this->dash_model->cashapproved();
$data['rejectedcash']=$this->dash_model->cashrejected();
$this->load->view('dashboard',$data);
}
public function PayTransSum()
{
$data['paytotal']=$this->dash_model->totalPay();
$data['approvedpay']=$this->dash_model->payapproved();
$data['acqrejectedpay']=$this->dash_model->payrejected();
$this->load->view('dashboard',$data);
}
}
And then I got the same error:
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined variable: paytotal
Filename: views/dashboard.php
Line Number: 156
Backtrace:
File: C:\xampp\htdocs\application\views\dashboard.php
Line: 156

File: C:\xampp\htdocs\application\controllers\dash_control.php
Line: 17
Function: CashTransSum
File: C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php
Line: 292
Function: require_once
It says here that I need to call it ONCE... Which one? Did I put the code wrong?
