Cannot Access Global Variable in Loop - spider58 - 02-08-2016

Hello.

Im passed an array and some global variables array to view file.

Code:
$website_lang_array = array (

 'LANG1' => 'Main',

'LANG2' => 'Blog',

'LANG3' => 'Templates',

'LANG4' => 'About',

'LANG5' => 'Contact',

'LANG6' => 'Login',

'LANG7' => 'Facebook Login',

'LANG8' => 'SignIn',

'LANG9' => 'Search...',

'LANG10' => 'Latest Contents',

'LANG11' => 'Show All',

'LANG12' => 'From BLOG',

'LANG13' => 'Visit Blog',

'LANG14' => '&copy 2016 All rights reserved',

'LANG15' => 'Category:',

);

if i use this variable a outside of lop such as

Code:
{LANG15}

{content}

   {content_id} - {content_title}

{/content}

this is working good.

But when i try to access in loop such as

Code:
{content}

   {LANG15}

   {content_id} - {content_title}

{/content}

This is not working. i think its search {LANG15} in content array.

i must acces {LANG15} in loop. but how? Thanks inadvance.

You are right: it's trying to load LANG15 from "content" array rather than main array. I don't think build-in Parser library has a solution for you. But you can use another parser library (I use Mustache myself https://github.com/bobthecow/mustache.php), but it will require additional work of setting it up.

P.S. I can send you link to my drop-in version of the library that requires no changes in your code to use it (e.g. $this->parser->parse).

thanks for reply. so, all other users using another parser libraries? this is weird. in a looop i can't access a variable :S this is enough for leave codeignitier.

You can use variable in a loop. You have to put it inside a specific sub-array ("content" in your case). Most people tend to pass to view/parser variables that are needed for that particular template rather then throw everything at it and let template decide if it needs it.

What I suggest you do is use language helper: lang - https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/helpers/language_helper.html

Then you just load a language file in CI and you don't need to pass anything to a view or parser in this case.
