Variable Scope

Hi,

Can someone confirm that variables passed to a top view are available to a lower-down view?

e.g.

PHP Code:

$this->load->view('view1', $view1array);
$this->load->view('view2', $view2array); 


If I have a variable $test1 in $view1array, it will be available in view2?

If this is the case, is there a way/method to isolate the variables in $view1array from view2?

The CI Loader handles the variables in the view:

PHP Code:

    /**
     * Set Variables
     *
     * Once variables are set they become available within
     * the controller class and its "view" files.
     *
     * @param    array|object|string    $vars
     *                    An associative array or object containing values
     *                    to be set, or a value's name if string
     * @param     string    $val    Value to set, only used if $vars is a string
     * @return    object
     */
    public function vars($vars, $val = '')

    /**
     * Clear Cached Variables
     *
     * Clears the cached variables.
     *
     * @return    CI_Loader
     */
    public function clear_vars()

    /**
     * Get Variable
     *
     * Check if a variable is set and retrieve it.
     *
     * @param    string    $key    Variable name
     * @return    mixed    The variable or NULL if not found
     */
    public function get_var($key)

    /**
     * Get Variables
     *
     * Retrieves all loaded variables.
     *
     * @return    array
     */
    public function get_vars() 


What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
