What is a View?
A View in CodeIgniter is a PHP file that contains HTML and minimal PHP to display data to the user.
It’s part of the MVC architecture:
- Controller sends data
- View renders it as HTML
- Browser displays it
View File Structure
Views are stored in:
app/ └── Views/ └── controller-name/ └── file-name.php
Example: About Page View
About.php
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
class About extends BaseController
{
public function index()
{
return view('about/index', [
'title' => 'About Us',
'year' => 2025
]);
}
}
View (app/Views/about/index.php)
Example
<h1><?= esc($title) ?></h1>
<p>Copyright © <?= esc($year) ?></p>
