Accessing controller variables in the viewer - El Forum - 08-21-2007

[eluser]dedavai[/eluser]
I'm having trouble accessing variables created inside the controller from within the viewer. For example, inside the controller (home.php) I have the following:

Code:
function view() {

...

$sub = false;

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

}

and inside the view file (home_view.php) I have

Code:
&lt;input type="text" name="cp" value="&lt;?=($sub ? "CP value" : "");?&gt;"&gt;

However, the $sub never makes it from the controller to the viewer. Is there a special way to reference the variables ?

Variables must be passed within an array to the view from the controller.

Controller:

Code:
function view() {

  $data['sub'] = FALSE;

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

}

View:

Code:
&lt;input type="text" name="cp" value="&lt;?= $sub ? "CP Value" : ""); ?&gt;"&gt;

Please read the View documentation and the Loader documentation.
