DB Query issues

[eluser]stevefink[/eluser]
Can anyone tell me why $photos in my view is not being seen by my view? I keep getting a notice that it is an undefined variable. I've made sure $photos is being populated properly in the model/controller:

Here's my controller:

Code:

function get_photos()
    {
        // get all photo filesystem locations.
        $photos = $this->autodb->get_photos();
        $this->load->view('console/vehicle_photos_view', $photos);
    }

My model:

Code:

function get_photos()
    {
        // return all available photos for vehicle
        $sql = "select photoloc from photos";
        $all_photos = $this->db->query($sql);
        
        $photos = array();
        
        if ($all_photos->num_rows() > 0)
        {
            foreach ($all_photos->result_array() as $photo)
            {
                $photos[] = $photo;
            }
        }
        
        return $photos;
    }

$photos is still undefined after $this->load->view('console/vehicle_photos_view', $photos);

Any idea?
