Will this user be logged in? Can you set the variable from a session variable?

Code:

$data['name'] = $this->session->userdata('name');

If not, then you will have to pull it from the database in another query.

Do you have a users model? Put a

Code:

get_user_fullname($user_id)

function in there and call that from your function to get the user's name.

What I've done before is keep my emails out of the database. I created an email library with all my pre-written emails, and passed the dynamic data needed to the library. That way, I didn't have to worry about eval()ing anything from the database or writing my own parser, just so I could pass dynamic data into it.
