passing data from __construct to functions - El Forum - 02-17-2011

So this code used to work for me in CI 1.7.* but now it is causing issues in CI 2
Worked in CI 1.7.x
Code:
class Error404 extends Controller {
function __construct(){
parent::Controller();
$this->data = array('page_title','Page not found 404');
}
function index(){
echo $this->data['page_title'];
}
}Doesn't work in CI 2
Code:
class Error404 extends CI_Controller {
function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
$this->data = array('page_title','Page not found 404');
}
function index(){
echo $this->data['page_title'];
}
}I am not sure what is happening that is different. I have tried changing parent::__construct(); to parent::Controller(); and parent::CI_Controller(); and every other combination I can think of.
I just want to be able to pass data from the construct to the other functions and I can't get the syntax right.

So deleting the above post wouldn't help my post count at all...
I am going to go walk around the office and kick myself repeatedly. I figured out my obvious mistake.

Your array is structured incorrectly. You set 2 values for the array rather than a key->value pair.
Code:
//from
$this->data = array('page_title','Page not found 404');
//to
$this->data = array('page_title' => 'Page not found 404');passing data from __construct to functions - El Forum - 02-17-2011

I had noticed that in my second post but thank you for the response regardless.
