Fetching content from file into variable?

[eluser]solid9[/eluser]
Hi guys

I'm trying to fetch the content of a file in view folder
and insert it into variable.

Because my header, footer etc... is in external view file.

Example:

Code:

function login()
{
   $this->$data['header'] = '/views/header.php';
  
   $this->load->view('front_page', $this->data);
}

Please help me correct the code above.

Thanks in advanced.
