3Can't you just refactor the code that is in your view that you need to reuse and put it someplace else? Like in your controller for instance?Matthew J Morrison– Matthew J Morrison2010-06-08 12:41:07 +00:00Commented Jun 8, 2010 at 12:41

I need it because I have two views (contract view and invoice) and need the same output from a controllers (contract-invoice) variable in a loop. It seems more logic to have a function in the controller than in the utility helper which is global.Timo– Timo2013-10-14 10:05:48 +00:00Commented Oct 14, 2013 at 10:05

If you want to call a function of the current controller, you have to get the instance of the current controller this way:
<?php
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->your_method($param);
?>

You can just do:
$this->controller_method();
While this might answer your question, I personally agree with the comments of – Matthew J Morrison and DamienL.

Don't think this will work, doesn't $this refer to the Loader class inside a view?
In controller:
$this->method_call =& get_instance();
In view
$this->method_call->show();
Comments
in your controller put
$data['myClass'] = $this;
That way when you send the data to the view, it will load the controller :)
Then you can access the methods like
$myClass->method();
