Preventing google(search engines) to indexing specific view of my codeigniter website

Question

I'm using following text in robots.text which resides in root of my website currently to hiding view.php from google.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /application/views/view.php

Am i doing it correct or i have to write controller path like following

User-agent: *
Disallow: /index.php/mycontroller/function

Answer 1

You will need to reference the URL rather than the path to the file. So in your case the correct way is

User-agent: *
Disallow: /index.php/mycontroller/function

Answer 2

Yes, Pattle is right about the URL referencing as the folders are usually not indexed directly, they get indexed when they are found in a page, whereas the application folder shouldn't even be accessible via browser/internet. So thumbs up to:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /index.php/mycontroller/function
Disallow: /mycontroller/function

in case you remove "index.php" from config.php file.
