Question

I have been trying to communicate between two CodeIgniter projects.

I have 2 projects, say A and B. Whenever a view is called from A and it should hit the controller of project B instead of A.

I want to allow database access to only project B and not A. SO all database quires should be performed my B, and all displays should be done by A

Is there a way to do it.

You need to extend the class CI_Loader like this :

class ClassNameYouWant extends CI_Loader {
    public function construct(){ 
            parent::__construct(); 
    }

    public  function ExtendedView($view, $vars = array(), $return = FALSE){
        parent::view($view, $vars, $return);

        // run your code here
        // call projet B using cURL or whatever you want
    }
}

If you want to run your code BEFORE the view is loaded, call the line parent::view($view, $vars, $return); at the end of the function.

You will have to load the class inside your controller and then use something like

$this->ClassNameYouWant->ExtendedView();
