scopes within a view

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
A function is a stand alone entity it has nothing to do with the view file. If you do

Code:

function echoConfigItem(){
$IC=& get_instance();
$item = $CI->config->item('some_array_key');
echo $item;

}

You will get the desired result.

As a side note it's better not to add functions to your view files. They should be display only.
