$data is undefined - example followed from video tutorial - El Forum - 06-05-2009

So I suppose I must have done something in terms of configuration to cause this because it doesn't any sense otherwise.

$data is undefined when I go to the prod page. index.php/prod
The home page loads just fine.

this is in my prod_view.php file (in views, obviously)

Code:
&lt;title&gt;&lt;?=$data['title']?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

this is my controller:

Code:
class Home extends Controller {

    function Home()

    {

        parent::Controller();

    $this->load->helper('url');

    $this->load->helper('html');    

    }

    function prod()

    {

        $data['title'] = "Auto - Product Line";

        $this->load->view('prod_view', $data);

    }

    function index()

    {

        $data['title'] = "Auto - Home";

        $this->load->view('home_view', $data);

    }

}

The $data array is extract()'ed into the view output buffer.

Simply use the array element names in the view. ie: $title

Shame on me, I knew that, I remember hearing that specifically in the tutorial.
Thanks,

Next question then, what if its a multi dimensional array?

In the views guide it shows about using a foreach loop, which is pretty obvious, but I don't want a foreach loop.

in my controller:

$data['lines']= array();
$data['lines']['first'] = "first el";
$data['lines']['second'] = "second el";

So in my view I use this by:
echo $lines['first'];

Which doesn't work. How do I access the information in $data['lines'] while in my view?

That should work, what do you get if you do a var dump on $lines in the view?

This is the output. I'm probably doing something stupid

A PHP Error was encountered

Newbie error. I had a controller that I didn't need and the name confused me. Sorry for the trouble. Thank you for your continued patience.
