To read a JSON file inside a CodeIgniter controller, you can use the following steps:

  1. Load the file helper in your controller constructor
1
$this->load->helper('file');


  1. Use the file_get_contents function to read the JSON file and decode it into an associative array
1
2
$json_data = file_get_contents('path_to_your_json_file.json');
$data = json_decode($json_data, true);


  1. You can then access the data in the JSON file as needed
1
echo $data['key'];


Make sure to replace 'path_to_your_json_file.json' with the actual path to your JSON file.


Remember to handle any errors that may occur during the file reading and JSON decoding process. It's also a good practice to validate the JSON data before using it in your application.
