I'm completely new to CI and I have recently hit a road block. I'm very unsure how I would go about passing a function argument from the view file to the controller so I could use it on a function?

I have a foreach loop on the view going through the all the items passed by function get_latest_bookmarks. That function returns a ID for each item and I am wanting to use this with another function called get_bookmark_tags which will get the tags of the bookmark from another table. I have provided the code I have done so far below.

Model:

Code:
class Bookmarks extends CI_Model {

    function __construct()

    {

        parent::__construct();

    }

    // GET LATEST BOOKMARKS

    function get_latest_bookmarks($limit)

    {

        $this->load->database();

        $this->db->order_by("id", "desc");

        $query = $this->db->get('site', $limit);

        return $query;

    }

    // GET HOTTEST BOOKMARKS

    function get_hottest_bookmarks($limit)

    {

        $this->load->database();

    }

    // GET BOOKMARK TAGS

    function get_bookmark_tags($id)

    {

        $this->load->database();

    }

}

Controller:

Code:
&lt;?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Welcome extends CI_Controller {

    public function index()

    {

        // Load Model

        $this->load->model('Bookmarks');

        // Get Latest Bookmarks

        $data['query'] = $this->Bookmarks->get_latest_bookmarks(4);

        // Load and Pass Data into View

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

    }

}

View:

Code:
&lt;body&gt;

<h1>Hot Bookmarks</h1>

<p>The most popular bookmarks will appear here.</p>

<h1>Latest Bookmarks</h1>

&lt;?php foreach ($query->result() as $row): ?&gt;

<div class="bookmark">

    <b><a >url;?&gt;">&lt;?=$row->title;?&gt;</a></b>

    <p>Source: &lt;?=$row->source;?&gt;</p>

</div>

&lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;
