How to loop the $data in a view/template? - El Forum - 01-21-2008

Hi there! I've just discovered CI and I think it's amazing!

I need to loop inside a template all along the array. The structure is as shown:

Code:
$data[0][id] = 1

$data[0][name] = John Doe

$data[0][details][address] = Fake Str. 123

$data[0][details][phone] = 555-123456

$data[0][last] = 2801002101

$data[1][id] = 1

$data[1][name] = Martin Perry

$data[1][details][address] = Lied Str. 321

$data[1][details][phone] = 555-1654862

$data[1][last] = 28023323421

And so on...

The problem would be solved if I could iterate the array, but CI gives me the keys instead of the array itself, which is not very useful for me.

I've thought I might add a key...

Code:
$this->load->view('body', array('main_data' => $data));

...but I don't think it's a proper way to solve it.

Is there a way to access the $data itself?

Thanks! Keep it on!

You are on the good path. In your view you do something like this

Code:
&lt;?php foreach(main_data as $member){ ?&gt;

<p>Name : &lt;?php echo $member[name]; ?&gt;</p>

and so on ...

&lt;?php } ?&gt;

I don't think I have it...

main_data isn't defined, neither as variable nor as constant.

Another hint? Can I access it without using it another array?

there is a mistake in my previous snippet

Code:
&lt;?php foreach($main_data as $member){ ?&gt;

<p>Name : &lt;?php echo $member[name]; ?&gt;</p>

and so on ...

&lt;?php } ?&gt;

I forgot the dollar sign before main_data

Thanks, but it's not what I'm looking for.

I gotta make the

Code:
$this->load->view('body', array('main_data' => $data));

in order to loop throught the $data or there's some other way to do it?

Thanks!

You are right. Do it that way and it should work like a charm.

you can use

Code:
$body['main_data'] = $data;

$this->load->view('body', $body);

if you find that more convenient.
