Way to define $data array for all functions inside a class

pistolPete sounds right on. I was doing the same data preparation for certain header data across multiple classes, and I ended up writing a helper function for it called header_prep(). When I call the header, I simply use array_merge:

Code:

$this->load->view('header', array_merge(header_prep(), 'page_title' => 'My Page'));

This wouldn't apply to static data in a single class, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
