Variable from Controller not working in Views - El Forum - 08-16-2012

Why is the variable test_var not working in the view like the guide shows? Variable is created at the end.
Controller:
Code:
class Members_area extends CI_Controller {
function index()
{
$is_logged_in = $this->loggedin->loggedin();
if(!$is_logged_in)
{
$data['main_content'] = 'home';
$this->load->view('includes/template2', $data);
}
else
{
$data['main_content'] = 'members_area';
$this->load->view('includes/template2', $data);
}
// Grabbing all the files associated with the current user
$this->load->model("upload_model");
$q = $this->upload_model->get_files();
$data['test_var'] = 'Test'; // Trying to use this variable in the views file
}
}The View File:
Code:
<li><?php echo $test_var;?></li>I get undefined variable as an error

That's because you have to define the data array key before you send the data array to the view file. So what I would suggest is sense both the key values are the same that are inside the if and else statements I suggest you take it out of it and move it to the bottom that way you only have to have that line once that way those bottom three lines will all work for you.

Try this:
Code:
class Members_area extends CI_Controller {
function index()
{
$is_logged_in = $this->loggedin->loggedin();
if(!$is_logged_in)
{
$data['main_content'] = 'home';
}
else
{
$data['main_content'] = 'members_area';
}
// Grabbing all the files associated with the current user
$this->load->model("upload_model");
$q = $this->upload_model->get_files();
$data['test_var'] = 'Test'; // Trying to use this variable in the views file
$this->load->view('includes/template2', $data);
}
