populating a dropdown dynamically

[eluser]Delvin[/eluser]
Thanks Similie, I have followed through your code, I didnt copy the $names array to $data, instead I passed the same array $names to the view file, but I am unable to view any data passed from controller in view file.

In controller I tried to print the data and it was successful. code below;

Code:

//copying the data into an array

foreach ($query->result_array() as $row){
        $temp = $row['Class_ID'];
        $temp1 = $row['First_Name'].$row['Middle_Name'].$row['Last_Name'];

        $names[] = array([code]

'Class_name' => $temp,
'Std_name' => $temp1
);
}

foreach ($names as $class){
echo $class['Std_name'];
}
$this->load->view('m_student/classlist_stdview.php',$names);
[/code]

In view file I tried to print the values with below code:

Code:

foreach ($Class_name as $class){
    echo $Class;
}

Not sure where I have gone wrong.

PS: Thank you for correcting me on the coding structure.
