I am having the same issue as the poster, and I can't seem to resolve it.
I can echo out the data in the $data variable in the controller, but it is not getting passed into the view.

My Controller:

Code:
function retrieve_customer()

    {

        $this->auth->restrict();

        $data = NULL;

        $message = NULL;

        if($this->input->post('retrieve_customer'))

        {

            $this->load->model('dashboard/customer');

            $data = $this->customer->retrieve_customer();

            if($data) {

                $this->load->view('dashboard/edit_customer', $data);

            } else {

                $message = "Customer Not Found";

                $this->load->view('dashboard/retrieve_customer', $message);

            }

        } else {

            $this->load->view('dashboard/retrieve_customer', $data);

        }

    }

and my edit_customer view:

Code:
&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;?php

echo $data;

?&gt;&lt;/body&gt;

And my model:

Code:
function retrieve_customer()

    {

        $phone_number = $this->input->post('phone_number');

        $this->db->select('*')->from('customers')->where('phone_number', $phone_number)->limit(1);

        $query = $this->db->get();

        if($query->num_rows() > 0)

        {

            return $query->row_array();

        } else {

            return NULL;

        }

    }

This is driving me crazy, and I'm sure it's something I'm just overlooking. Thanks.

You don't use the $data variable directly, you use what it contains. e.g.

$data['name'] = 'John';
$data['age'] = 42;

and in the view:

echo $name;
echo $age;

Hi,

$data should be an array, have a look in the user guide http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...views.html , paragraph "Adding Dynamic Data to the View"

the example is

Code:
$data = array(

               'title' => 'My Title',

               'heading' => 'My Heading',

               'message' => 'My Message'

          );

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

and it's passing three variables to the view: $title, $heading and $message

Thanks, I'm just an idiot.
