access array in views - El Forum - 10-30-2012

[eluser]newbie110[/eluser]
I am trying to pass an array to the view of the very same controller. Here is my function

Code:
function show_menu(){

     $data['to_do_list']= array('Browse Jobs'=>'browse-jobs',

           'Browse companies'=>'browse-companies',

           'Categories'=>'categories',

           'Job Types'=>'job-types',

           'Salary Range'=>'salary-range',

           'Locations'=>'locations',

           'Packages'=>'packages',

           'Orders'=>'categories',

           'Contacts'=>'contacts');

   echo "Show Menu";

   $this->load->view('recruitment/admin_menu');

How can I access this $data in recruitment/admin_menu.php

First, you need to pass it to your view.

Code:
$this->load->view('recruitment/admin_menu', $data);

Then, CI runs extract() on $data, so in your view, you would access it by using $to_do_list, which is your array. So in your view, if you did

Code:
&lt;?php print_r($to_do_list); ?&gt;

You should see it.
