I have just started using CodeIgninter and have been looking at the documentation. My problem is with the following code from the tutorial. When I call it as is, I only get the 404 page. If I remove the ! the correct page displays. So obviously the page exists and can be found by the code.

What am I missing?

Jeff

public function view($page = ‘home’)
{
 
if ( ! file_exists(‘application/views/pages/’.$page.’.php’))
{
  // Whoops, we don’t have a page for that!
  show_404();
}

$data[‘title’] = ucfirst($page); // Capitalize the first letter

$this->load->view(‘templates/header’, $data);
$this->load->view(‘pages/’.$page, $data);
$this->load->view(‘templates/footer’, $data);

}

Did you create the application/views/pages/home.php

Did you rename and/or move your application or views folder? You’ll notice that the if() check has a hardcoded path - if that path is changed, you’ll need to update it appropriately.

or use the APPPATH constant instead of ‘application’
