Why does it have to happen in the controller like that? Is there a reason that you haven't explained yet?

If not it seems like you'd be putting an aweful lot of time into this, when you could just as easily do a foreach on the db result.

example:

Controller+Model

Code:
$this->data['items'] = $this->items_model->get_items()->result();

$this->data['item-1'] = $this->items_model->get_item_by_id(1)->row();

View

Code:
&lt;?foreach($items as $item):?&gt;

The item &lt;?=$item->item_name?&gt; costs &lt;?=$item->item_price?&gt;

&lt;?endforeach;?&gt;

OR

The item &lt;?=$item-1->item_name .... etc

I guess I'm just not seeing how what you propose would benefit you at all, and it would be a doosy of a function having to look for your {} tags, and then pass the data inside them into a library function which would need to call the model function and then rewrite the string (ie, lots of work and processing time)
