<h2>Loading this Helper</h2>
76
<p>This helper is loaded using the following code:</p>
77
<code>$this->load->helper('html');</code>
79
<p>The following functions are available:</p>
81
<h2><a name="br"></a>br()</h2>
82
<p>Generates line break tags (<br />) based on the number you submit. Example:</p>
83
<code>echo br(3);</code>
84
<p>The above would produce: <br /><br /><br /></p>
86
<h2><a name="heading"></a>heading()</h2>
87
<p>Lets you create HTML <h1> tags. The first parameter will contain the data, the
88
second the size of the heading. Example:</p>
89
<code>echo heading('Welcome!', 3);</code>
90
<p>The above would produce: <h3>Welcome!</h3></p>
92
<p>Additionally, in order to add attributes to the heading tag such as HTML classes, ids or inline styles, a third parameter is available.</p>
93
<code>echo heading('Welcome!', 3, 'class="pink"')</code>
94
<p>The above code produces: <h3 class="pink">Welcome!<<h3></p>
97
<h2><a name="img"></a>img()</h2>
98
<p>Lets you create HTML <img /> tags. The first parameter contains the image source. Example:</p>
99
<code>echo img('images/picture.jpg');<br />
100
// gives <img src="http://site.com/images/picture.jpg" /></code>
101
<p>There is an optional second parameter that is a TRUE/FALSE value that specifics if the src should have the page specified by $config['index_page'] added to the address it creates. Presumably, this would be if you were using a media controller.</p>
102
<p><code>echo img('images/picture.jpg', TRUE);<br />
103
// gives <img src="http://site.com/index.php/images/picture.jpg" alt="" /></code></p>
104
<p>Additionally, an associative array can be passed to the img() function for complete control over all attributes and values. If an alt attribute is not provided, CodeIgniter will generate an empty string.</p>
105
<p><code> $image_properties = array(<br />
106
'src' => 'images/picture.jpg',<br />
107
'alt' => 'Me, demonstrating how to eat 4 slices of pizza at one time',<br />
108
'class' => 'post_images',<br />
109
'width' => '200',<br />
110
'height' => '200',<br />
111
'title' => 'That was quite a night',<br />
112
'rel' => 'lightbox',<br />
115
img($image_properties);<br />
116
// <img src="http://site.com/index.php/images/picture.jpg" alt="Me, demonstrating how to eat 4 slices of pizza at one time" class="post_images" width="200" height="200" title="That was quite a night" rel="lightbox" /></code></p>
118
<h2><a name="link_tag"></a>link_tag()</h2>
119
<p>Lets you create HTML <link /> tags. This is useful for stylesheet links, as well as other links. The parameters are href, with optional rel, type, title, media and index_page. index_page is a TRUE/FALSE value that specifics if the href should have the page specified by $config['index_page'] added to the address it creates.<code>
120
echo link_tag('css/mystyles.css');<br />
121
// gives <link href="http://site.com/css/mystyles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /></code></p>
122
<p>Further examples:</p>
125
echo link_tag('favicon.ico', 'shortcut icon', 'image/ico');<br />
126
// <link href="http://site.com/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" />
129
echo link_tag('feed', 'alternate', 'application/rss+xml', 'My RSS Feed');<br />
130
// <link href="http://site.com/feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="My RSS Feed" /> </code>
131
<p>Additionally, an associative array can be passed to the link() function for complete control over all attributes and values.</p>
134
'href' => 'css/printer.css',<br />
135
'rel' => 'stylesheet',<br />
136
'type' => 'text/css',<br />
137
'media' => 'print'<br />
140
echo link_tag($link);<br />
141
// <link href="http://site.com/css/printer.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" /></code></p>
143
<h2><a name="nbs"></a>nbs()</h2>
144
<p>Generates non-breaking spaces (&nbsp;) based on the number you submit. Example:</p>
145
<code>echo nbs(3);</code>
146
<p>The above would produce: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
148
<h2><a name="ol_and_ul"></a>ol() and ul()</h2>
150
<p>Permits you to generate ordered or unordered HTML lists from simple or multi-dimensional arrays. Example:</p>
153
$this->load->helper('html');<br />
156
'red', <br />
157
'blue', <br />
158
'green',<br />
159
'yellow'<br />
160
);<br />
162
$attributes = array(<br />
163
'class' => 'boldlist',<br />
164
'id' => 'mylist'<br />
165
);<br />
167
echo ul($list, $attributes);<br />
170
<p>The above code will produce this:</p>
173
<ul class="boldlist" id="mylist"><br />
174
<li>red</li><br />
175
<li>blue</li><br />
176
<li>green</li><br />
177
<li>yellow</li><br />
181
<p>Here is a more complex example, using a multi-dimensional array:</p>
184
$this->load->helper('html');<br />
186
$attributes = array(<br />
187
'class' => 'boldlist',<br />
188
'id' => 'mylist'<br />
189
);<br />
192
'colors' => array(<br />
193
'red',<br />
194
'blue',<br />
195
'green'<br />
196
),<br />
197
'shapes' => array(<br />
198
'round', <br />
199
'square',<br />
200
'circles' => array(<br />
201
'ellipse', <br />
202
'oval', <br />
203
'sphere'<br />
204
)<br />
205
),<br />
206
'moods' => array(<br />
207
'happy', <br />
208
'upset' => array(<br />
209
'defeated' => array(<br />
210
'dejected',<br />
211
'disheartened',<br />
212
'depressed'<br />
213
),<br />
214
'annoyed',<br />
215
'cross',<br />
216
'angry'<br />
217
)<br />
218
)<br />
219
);<br />
222
echo ul($list, $attributes);</code>
224
<p>The above code will produce this:</p>
227
<ul class="boldlist" id="mylist"><br />
228
<li>colors<br />
229
<ul><br />
230

<h2><a name="meta"></a>meta()</h2>
274
<p>Helps you generate meta tags. You can pass strings to the function, or simple arrays, or multidimensional ones. Examples:</p>
277
echo meta('description', 'My Great site');<br />
278
// Generates: <meta name="description" content="My Great Site" /><br />
281
echo meta('Content-type', 'text/html; charset=utf-8', 'equiv'); // Note the third parameter. Can be "equiv" or "name"<br />
282
// Generates: <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><br />
286
echo meta(array('name' => 'robots', 'content' => 'no-cache'));<br />
287
// Generates: <meta name="robots" content="no-cache" /><br />
292
array('name' => 'robots', 'content' => 'no-cache'),<br />
293
array('name' => 'description', 'content' => 'My Great Site'),<br />
294
array('name' => 'keywords', 'content' => 'love, passion, intrigue, deception'),<br />
295
array('name' => 'robots', 'content' => 'no-cache'),<br />
296
array('name' => 'Content-type', 'content' => 'text/html; charset=utf-8', 'type' => 'equiv')<br />
297
);<br />
302
// <meta name="robots" content="no-cache" /><br />
303
// <meta name="description" content="My Great Site" /><br />
304
// <meta name="keywords" content="love, passion, intrigue, deception" /><br />
305
// <meta name="robots" content="no-cache" /><br />
306
// <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
310
<h2><a name="doctype"></a>doctype()</h2>
312
<p>Helps you generate document type declarations, or DTD's. XHTML 1.0 Strict is used by default, but many doctypes are available.</p>
315
echo doctype();<br />
316
// <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><br />
318
echo doctype('html4-trans');<br />
319
// <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
322
<p>The following is a list of doctype choices. These are configurable, and pulled from <samp>application/config/doctypes.php</samp></p>
