Best way to avoid duplicating html in views

[eluser]Polarity[/eluser]
ok, one step after another
your code:

Code:

<?php
class Modulename extends Controller {
    

    function Modulename()
    {
        parent::Controller();    
    }
    
    function index()
    {    
        $data['page_title'] = 'Site Name - Module Name';
        $data['template'] = 'default';
        $data['masthead'] = $this->load->view("templates/$data['template']/masthead");
        $data['nav'] = $this->load->view("templates/$data['template']/nav");
        $data['content'] = $this->result_of_some_number_crunching_maybe;
        $data['content'] .= $this->load->view('an_extra_view');
        $data['content'] .= $this->load->view('another_view_perhaps');
        $data['footer'] = $this->load->view("templates/$data['template']/footer");
        $this->load->view("templates/$data['template']/index", $data);
    }
} ?>

your code with corrected syntax

Code:

<?php
class Modulename extends Controller {
    

    function Modulename()
    {
        parent::Controller();    
    }
    
    function index()
    {    
        $data['page_title'] = 'Site Name - Module Name';
        $data['template'] = 'default';
        $data['masthead'] = $this->load->view("templates/".$data['template']."/masthead");
        $data['nav'] = $this->load->view("templates/".$data['template']."/nav");
        $data['content'] = $this->result_of_some_number_crunching_maybe;
        $data['content'] .= $this->load->view('an_extra_view');
        $data['content'] .= $this->load->view('another_view_perhaps');
        $data['footer'] = $this->load->view("templates/".$data['template']."/footer");
        $this->load->view("templates/".$data['template']."/index", $data);
    }
} ?>
