Question

Is it possible to add the following code to multiple functions without retyping the code individually?

$user_id = $this->tank_auth->get_user_id();
$data['row'] = $this->Profile_model->profile_read($user_id);

I tried putting the variables in the constructor but I get undefined variables for both.

Answer 1

you could turn it in to a private function of the controller, i.e.

private function get_user_id()
{
    $user_id = $this->tank_auth->get_user_id();
    return $this->Profile_model->profile_read($user_id);
}

And then in every function in your controller do:

$data['row'] = $this->get_user_id();
