Controller is not passing data to a view. Any Ideas? - El Forum - 04-04-2009

I am having the same issue as the poster, and I can't seem to resolve it.
I can echo out the data in the $data variable in the controller, but it is not getting passed into the view.
My Controller:
Code:
function retrieve_customer()
{
$this->auth->restrict();
$data = NULL;
$message = NULL;
if($this->input->post('retrieve_customer'))
{
$this->load->model('dashboard/customer');
$data = $this->customer->retrieve_customer();
if($data) {
$this->load->view('dashboard/edit_customer', $data);
} else {
$message = "Customer Not Found";
$this->load->view('dashboard/retrieve_customer', $message);
}
} else {
$this->load->view('dashboard/retrieve_customer', $data);
}
}and my edit_customer view:
Code:
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo $data;
?></body>And my model:
Code:
function retrieve_customer()
{
$phone_number = $this->input->post('phone_number');
$this->db->select('*')->from('customers')->where('phone_number', $phone_number)->limit(1);
$query = $this->db->get();
if($query->num_rows() > 0)
{
return $query->row_array();
} else {
return NULL;
}
}This is driving me crazy, and I'm sure it's something I'm just overlooking. Thanks.

You don't use the $data variable directly, you use what it contains. e.g.
$data['name'] = 'John';
$data['age'] = 42;
and in the view:
echo $name;
echo $age;

Hi,
$data should be an array, have a look in the user guide http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/views.html , paragraph "Adding Dynamic Data to the View"
the example is
Code:
$data = array(
'title' => 'My Title',
'heading' => 'My Heading',
'message' => 'My Message'
);
$this->load->view('blogview', $data);and it's passing three variables to the view: $title, $heading and $message

Thanks, I'm just an idiot.
