CodeIgniter Step By Step Tutorial: As usually, we will create first application by build hello World application. But, before write code, we must know that we will build application use Model Controller View (MVC) pattern. We will talk about MVC in other post. MVC pattern in Joomla and It is same.
1. First, we make controller, create a file name “helloworld.php” within: C:\xampp\htdocs\CodeIgniter\system\application\controllers\.
Enter following code:
<?php
class HelloWorld extends Controller{
function HelloWorld(){
parent::Controller();
}
function index(){
$this->load->view('index_view');
}
}
?>
# Next step, make a view. Create index_view.php within C:\xampp\htdocs\CodeIgniter\system\application\views.
Enter just simple line code like:
Hello,World!
# Now, test your application. Point your browser to http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/HelloWorld/ You should get like this:
Here we do not write any function name in the url and it load that function because there is a index function in our controller. So it auto call the index function and load the index_view.php
Now we make one more function and call it.
Make a function like bellow
<?php
class HelloWorld extends Controller{
function HelloWorld(){
parent::Controller();
}
function index(){
$this->load->view('index_view');
}
function hello(){
$this->load->view('hello_view');
}
}
?>
Now make a new view file hello_view.php in C:\xampp\htdocs\CodeIgniter\system\application\views.
write this text in the view file
Hello,Nice to see you!
Now, test your application. Point your browser to http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/HelloWorld/hello
You should get like this:
See, this flow:
After making the helloworld.php and index_view.php files when i test it in the brower it gives the following error :
” Fatal error: Class ‘Controller’ not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\CodeIgniter\application\controllers\helloworld.php on line 2 ”

Hey,
Sorted out this issue.
Just prefix the Controller class as follows : “CI_Controller”
e.g. :
class Blog extends CI_Controller
The error persists if we write the constructor.
The following code will give error:
fname = “Ashish”;
$this->lname = “Picha”;
}
function index()
{
$data['fname'] = $this->fname;
$data['lname'] = $this->lname;
$this->load->view(‘try2_view’,$data);
}
}
?>
Error : Fatal error: Call to undefined method CI_Controller::Controller() in C:\xampp\htdocs\CodeIgniter\application\controllers\try2.php on line 10
only if u remove the constructor from the code and just prefix the class name by “CI” then it works.
Fatal error: Call to undefined method CI_Controller::Controller() in C:\xampp\htdocs\CodeIgniter\application\controllers\try2.php on line 10
Somebody help me
are you trying latest version of ci. as ci changes the controller naming.
