Question

I am trying to import contact list using google API. One of this example provide by google is

print "<a class=login href='$auth'>Connect Me!</a>";

Here

$auth = $client->createAuthUrl();

In this $auth gives an url which will be called onclick of Connect Me. This is a simple php example example which I want to implement in CodeIgniter. So I have moved this example logic to a model class. Here I want to save url response to DB and then send to a view.
How would to hit the url provided by $client->createAuthUrl() from model class.

Answer 1

Call the model from your controller, and then pass the data to the view as defined in the official documentation here and here like this:

Class YourController Extends CI_Controller
{

.
.
.

function yourFunction()
{
  $this->load->model('Model_yourModel');
  $data['auth'] = $this->Model_yourModel->createAuthUrl();

  $this->load->view('yourView', $data);
}

and in yourView.php you can use it like this

print "<a class=login href='$auth'>Connect Me!</a>";
