How to call model function in view file?

[eluser]makkal[/eluser]
Hi all,

I am new to CI. I like to know the way to access the model function in view file.

While processing the FOR loop in view file, i should call database to fetch some more values for the particular value executing in the LOOP.

Code:

foreach($navlist as $parent => $menuid) {
  
   [with this $menuid, i need to call its relevant values from the database]  

}

Please advise me on this. Thanks a lot.
