Passing the data array

[eluser]wowdezign[/eluser]
If I understood you correctly, you only want to take action if the variable exists in the view.

I that is correct, depending on the rest of the code, I normally use something like:

Code:

if(isset($varFromController)){
    echo $varFromController;
}

In my view file.

This way, it only gets written if the variable is set, that wat I don't have to pass the variable in from every controller.
