Here's more from my site controller:

Code:
function index()

    {

          $data['user_id']    = $this->tank_auth->get_user_id();

          $data['username']    = $this->tank_auth->get_username();

          $data['page_title'] = 'OSM Projects';

          $data['page'] = 'welcome'; // pass the actual view to use as a parameter

          $this->load->view('container',$data);

    }

    function about()

    {

          $data['user_id']    = $this->tank_auth->get_user_id();

          $data['username']    = $this->tank_auth->get_username();

          $data['page_title'] = 'OSM Projects';

          $data['page'] = 'about'; // pass the actual view to use as a parameter

          $this->load->view('container',$data);

    }

function project_list()

    {

          if (!$this->tank_auth->is_logged_in()) {

            redirect('/auth/login/');

          } else {

            $this->load->model('Project_model');

            /*$data['query'] = $this->Project_model->getAll();*/

            $data['query'] = $this->Project_model->getByUserId();

            $data['user_id']    = $this->tank_auth->get_user_id();

            $data['username']    = $this->tank_auth->get_username();

            $data['page_title'] = 'OSM Projects';

            $data['page'] = 'project-list-view'; // pass the actual view to use as a parameter

            $this->load->view('container',$data);

        }

    }

$data[] is an array. i'm assigning the value 'about' or 'project-list-view' or 'welcome' to the key 'page' in the $data array.

when the container loads it now begins loading the the various values from the $data array. Now, in regards to the question why $page has a $ in front of it in the container view and it doesn't in the site controller? I'm not sure. I just know it needs to be done or it breaks. Hopefully, somebody reading this can weight in on that.

Here's my educated guess:

$data[] is an array and as such you have to have the $ at the beginning in the site controller however $data['page'] doesn't require it because in this context it's page is a key in the array. However, in the view $page is a variable (albeit a part of the $data array) and you have to write it as $page in the view in order to have it render correctly.

Thank you for asking the question, though. Like I said earlier, I'm learning, too, and this makes me think more about what I'm doing and helps me to learn as well.
