Passing a function

This is how I do it also.

So yes, create a helper that can access your database.

Code:

//for example.
function get_images($id) {
$CI =& get_instance();
return $CI->db->where('image_id', $id)->get('images')->row();
}

Or better yet, grab the information from a Model and just pass it in the second param of your load view call.
