index.php doesn't show content on loading codeigniter php

Question

I have a controller to send data to a index page of php in my codeigniter application as shown

this is the snippet of code from the controller

I have added an echo which I can see from the console

EDITTED

this is the beginning of the index controller

<?php  if(! defined("BASEPATH")) exit("no direct acces to script");

//this is the index 

class Index extends CI_Controller
{


   }

function index()
   {
        echo("Am here");

       if($this->session->userdata("user_public_id"))
       {
       $user_id = $this->session->userdata("user_public_id");
       }
       else
       {
       $user_id = "0";
       }


            </div>     
            <?php endforeach; ?>

I cannot figure out why is my page showing no content. Kindly assist me in debugging this

Blank screen is the "Error of Death". Look into the error log or enable error reporting in CodeIgniter. — Bikram Pahi, Apr 03 '17 at 16:32
Please show the code at the very start of the controller where the above index method is found. Also, what is the the exact file name of the controller? (exact === including the case of all characters) Also, check the controller file for an extraneous BOM at the very beginning of the file.

Is this file located in the root directory of your CI installation? Or maybe I should ask it this way: Where is this file located - what folder relative to the root of your website? — DFriend, Apr 03 '17 at 19:52
I would not name controller Index rename it to some thing else like Home because there is already a index.php in main directory — , Apr 03 '17 at 21:13
@DFriend it is located here >>>> mywebsite/global_app\controllers — parker, Apr 03 '17 at 21:48
Try changing the file name from index.php to Index.php - note the first letter is uppercase. But @wolfgang1983 is correct, you should use some other name for the class besides Index. — DFriend, Apr 03 '17 at 21:59
ok did that and applied background color and it effected the color but it not rendering the content of the loop — parker, Apr 03 '17 at 22:02
my problem has been resolved thanks to you all. what I did was to check the files calling the database — parker, Apr 03 '17 at 22:35

@parker As per your code, the index() function is placed at outside of the controller, it should be inside in the Index Class, like this

<?php  if(! defined("BASEPATH")) exit("no direct acces to script");

//this is the index 

class Index extends CI_Controller
{    


function index()
   {
        echo("Am here");

       if($this->session->userdata("user_public_id"))
       {
       $user_id = $this->session->userdata("user_public_id");
       }
       else
       {
       $user_id = "0";
       }
       .
       .
       .
       .
}
 ?>

If the problem still exist, please do change the name of the controllerIndex to Something else!

This may helps you..thanks!
