To generate a barcode in CodeIgniter, you will need to use a barcode generation library. One option is to use the "Barcode Generator" library, which can be found at this link: https://github.com/bramp/php-barcode.


To use this library, you will need to download the files and place them in your CodeIgniter project. Then, you can use the following steps to generate a barcode:

  1. Load the library in your controller:
1
$this->load->library('barcode');


  1. Generate the barcode using the render() method of the library, passing in the barcode text and any options you want to set:
1
$barcode = $this->barcode->render('1234567890', 'code128', array('text' => true));


  1. Display the barcode in your view by outputting the $barcode variable.
1
echo $barcode;


You can also specify the width and height of the barcode, and set other options such as the font size and margin size. You can refer to the library's documentation for more information on the available options.
