How can I avoid using foreach in a view?

Helpers are available in the view so you can do:

Code:

<?php foreach ($received as $row): ?>
<span>&lt;?php echo $row['id']; ?&gt;</span><span>&lt;?php echo character_limiter($row['description'],60); ?&gt;</span><span>&lt;?php echo nice_time($row['time']); ?&gt;</span>
&lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;

If you don't want the foreach statements in the view you can build the html block in the controller, save it in a variable and pass it in the view:

Code:

$data = array();
$data['html_block'] = '';

foreach ($received as $row)
{
   $data['html_block'] .= '<span>'.$row['task_id'].'</span><span>'.character_limiter($row['description'], 60).'</span><span>'.nice_time($row['time']).'</span><br/>';
);
}

$this->load->view('view_name',$data);

In your view:

Code:

echo $html_block;

I prefer to use foreach in the view.
