pass variable into view from controller?

[eluser]Brad K Morse[/eluser]
Possible to accomplish what I am trying to do here:

part of controller function

Code:

$alert = "did not work";
$this->load->view('email-sent-view', $data, $alert);

then outputting it in the email-sent-view

Code:

<p>&lt;?=$alert;?&gt;</p>

I know this can't be done the way I have it currently, but any guidance as to how to accomplish will be appreciated.
