Would like to condense some code.

Code:

function _populate_contact()
{
    if($this->userlib->logged_in())
    {
        $this->load->model('User_model', 'user_m');
        $userid = $this->session->userdata('userid');
        $result = $this->user_m->name_and_email($userid);
    }
}

Just a quick one.. if I set anything in my $data object here, I find it's unavailable when I pass it to my views back in my index() function (which is in my Contact controller). I've not come up against this before.. how do I get the variable which is set lower down to be accessible earlier in my script?[/quote]

You'll need to declare the $data variable as global at the start of the function, or my preference is to use such common variables as class properties, so I set var $data in the controller class and then access it anywhere in the controller with $this->data.
