Arrays - El Forum - 12-24-2010

Hi, all.
I am doing video tutorials, and I can't find any info about strange uses of arrays here.
I can give you an example:
// this is the code from controller:
$data['name'] = "Milos";
// i transfer the $data to the view
$this->load->view('home', $data);
// this is the code from the view
<?php echo $name; ?>
So this is the thing that I do not understand.
We have an array $data and 'name' is just a string index for that array.
How can I access it like $name - normally it should be $data('name');
I didn't find any example like it in PHP manual so I don't know what is this.
Thanks,
Milos

Thanks for answering.
So you want to say that this function is implemented here already, when passing values from controller to the view?

Yes, in the _ci_load() method of the Loader library, used when you call $this->load->view().
