I was trying to stick some header data into MY_Controller class then access it from all the other pages. I keep getting the error 'Undefined Variable' when I try to access the variable ['mytitle'] in the view.

This is my controller placed in Application/library/ folder.

Code:
&lt;?php

class MY_Controller extends Controller {

    function __contruct()

    {

        parent::Controller();

    }

}

class Arc_Controller extends MY_Controller {

    var $data = array();

    function __contruct()

    {

        parent::MY_Controller();

        $this->data['mytitle'] = 'My Title';

    }

}

 ?&gt;

This is my test controller.

Code:
&lt;?php

class Test extends Arc_Controller {

    function __contruct()

    {

        parent::Arc_Controller();

    }

    function index()

    {

        $data['heading'] = 'My heading';

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

    }

}

?&gt;

Here's my test view.

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;&lt;?$mytitle?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<h1>&lt;?=$mytitle?&gt;</h1>

<h1>&lt;?=$heading?&gt;</h1>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

I have been looking at it for the last hour and just can't see why its wrong. I see a number of threads making reference to this method of coding e.g.
