Function from MY_Controller to view - codeigniter

Question

I have a public function in MY_Controller is_logged, I want to use this in my view file like so:

<?php if( $this->is_logged() ): ?>
    Hey user.
<?php else: ?>
    Please login first.
<?php endif; ?>

but I got an error:

Call to undefined method CI_Loader::is_logged()

How can I use this in my view file?

Regards.

You should not call a controller function in a view file. Consider creating a helper and using $CI =& get_instance(); in the helper to get the $CI object if you need it. — Technoh

@Technoh so I can't call controller function in view? So how to check is_logged in view? — mateuszji

You can only access this property in your controller class not in the view. In your controller's method, access it, then define it in an array so it can then be passed to your view as a variable:

public function test(){
    $this->load->view('test', array('logged'=> $this->is_logged()) )
}

then in your view:

if($logged){
  ...
}

if you have that error, then you are not passing the variable correctly. That, or the result of $this->is_logged() is NULL. Can you update your original question and include more information on your code?
