Code:

$this->_ci_cached_vars; //array used by $this->load->vars() referenced from within a view.

[/quote]

I've tried the obvious but it seems I'm missing something..

Controller:

Code:

$edit = array('name' =>'john', 'id'=>'5');
$data['edit'] = $edit;
$this->load->vars($data);

Helper Function:

Code:

$CI =& get_instances();
$foo = $CI->_ci_cached_vars;
echo $foo['edit']['name'] // Does not produce 'John'.
