@pippuccio76,
All you have to do is set the $data value prior to sending it the the view...
PHP Code:
$data['user_name'] = 'pippuccio76';
$this->load->view('templates/header_user',$data);
$this->load->view('templates/menu_user',$data);
$this->load->view('controller/view', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer_user',$data);
Within the view you would reference the variable as... $user_name

You can send a variable to the view at any time using:
PHP Code:
$data['menu'] = 'Something';
// makes them global to all views
$this->load->vars($data);

in which place must i set this variable to make her global ?
because menu are for many controller and i cannot set it in every controller...

Set it once, and store the value in a session variable.
E.g.
PHP Code:
$this->session->user_name = 'pippuccio76';
In the menu view:
PHP Code:
<p>Your user name is: <?= $this->session->user_name;?>.</p>

in my menu i must change value dinamically , set a session on login is not ok .
i must set variable directly on view by call a model function that return a value .
Can i do this ?

Even global variables only exist until the next url request.
So, if you switch from one controller to another, or even from one method to another, by calling a different url, all variables go back to their initial values. If you want to preserve variable values across url requests, use session.
Another possibility is to use a library that gets the value from a model.
Autoload the library. That makes all functions in it available for every controller and even views. Authentication libraries like Ion_auth work that way. Even in a view, I can call $this->ion_auth->is_logged_in() to check if the current user is logged in. There's no need to pass values from controller to view that way.

You could use a BaseController that all of those controllers extend from. Then you can have a method that grabs the value, or set default $data array in the constructor, etc.
