So, I would say that I am pretty new to CI. Been using it for a couple of months and only have been coding for 2 years. Since I am still so new and have mainly worked on really small “local” projects and ideas I am starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with the amount of comments I have placed within my first large project. So, to see what I mean, let me give you an small example of a method from a controller…
public function mileage_submit(){
/* Load any helpers for this page */
$this->load->helper('form');
/* Load any models need for this page */
$this->load->model('user'); //used for retrieving user name using CI_SESSION Data
$this->load->model('mileage'); // Holds the queries for mileage log entries
//Load data variables for this page
$data['title'] = "Rayco Mileage Log";
$data['css'] = base_url('/css/style.css'); // Loads the correct stylesheet for the page
$submit = $this->input->post('submit'); //used to check if submit button was pressed.
$date = $this->input->post('start'); //used to check if a starting od was entered.
$end = $this->input->post('end'); // used to check if a ending od was entered.
$name = $this->user->getName(); // gets the logged in users full name
/* When clicking the submit button, pass the $_POST data to the model */
if($submit == TRUE && $end == FALSE){
$q = $this->mileage->full(
$this->user->getName(),
$this->input->post('date', TRUE),
$this->input->post('start', TRUE),
$this->input->post('end', TRUE),
$this->input->post('notes', TRUE)
);
}else{
$q = $this->mileage->update(
$this->user->getName(),
$this->input->post('date', TRUE),
$this->input->post('end', TRUE),
$this->input->post('notes', TRUE)
);
}
/* Load the files needed for the view */
$this->load->view('includes/head', $data);
$this->load->view('includes/header');
$this->load->view('mileage_submit');
$this->load->view('includes/footer');
}
I’m sure there is a way I can improve this or neaten it up. What are your suggestions?
