Passing variables to views

[eluser]Mike Ryan[/eluser]
Seconding jedd's post... if you only ever pass a single simple data type to a view I can see how this would be inconvenient. However, I think the flexibility added by this approach is worth such a trivial annoyance.

If it really bugs you, open system/libraries/loader.php and change line 307 to:

Code:

return $this->_ci_load(array('_ci_view' => $view, '_ci_vars' => $vars, '_ci_return' => $return)); //untested

ironlung's example could be even shorter:

Code:

$data['colors'] = array('red','green','blue');
//... which isn't much longer than:
$colors = array('red','green','blue');
