From the manual for $this->load->view() ...
Quote:The second optional parameter can take an associative array or an object as input, which it runs through the PHP extract function to convert to variables that can be used in your view files. Again, read the Views page to learn how this might be useful.
This means that you should have an associative array element for every standalone variable in your view.
So if you have a controller called Foo and it has a function (method because its a class) called bar, you might have code that looks like this:
Code:
class Foo extends Controller {
function bar()
{
//let's initialize an empty array called $data
$data = array();
//let's set a variable as an associative array element that we can get from our view.
$data['myvar'] = 'hello world';
$this->load->view('myview', $data); // the $data array to the view file.
}
}
Inside of my myview.php view file, I can echo out $myvar:
Code:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Title</h1>
<p><?=$myvar?></p>
Now here's the trick. You must add an array element with a corresponding associative array key for each variable you use in your view. So, to avoid the undeclared variable warning, you must have declared
Code:
$data['myvar'] = 'anything'
before passing $data to the view and trying to use $myvar in your view.
