How to pass variable value to another view?

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi Everyone,

I m stuck somewhere passing values between different view.
Let me explain my problem.

I have a controller: category.php

Code:

<?php
class Category extends Controller{
  function Category(){
    parent::Controller();
  }
  function index(){
    $data['catname'] = 'Development';
    $data['page'] = 'home';
    $this->load->view('include/template',$data);
  }
}

In this controller I am passing two value first is category name and second is page name which I will use in my template.
Here is my template code include/template.php

Code:

<?php
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view($page);?>

In my header view I am changing the value of catname variable.
header.php

Code:

<?php
$catname = "New Development";
?>

home.php

Code:

<?php
echo $catname;// Printing old value...
?>

Now problem is that when I am trying to print catname using my second view its showing me old value not updated one. So can anyone please suggest me how can I accomplish this.
I have tried GLOBAL varibale too but unable to solve this problem.

I am new to php and codeigniter so please suggest me.

Many thanks in advance.

If you are changing the variable in another then you would have to pass it to the sub view.

Code:

$this->load->view($page, $catname); ?>

Although more than likely this would best done in the controller.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for reply.

But I am using only one template for whole website and this requirement is only for 3-4 pages and every page have different-2 variable..

Is there any other way to get this.

Alok Rawat,
I would suggest setting a config value at runtime with the original 'catname', and when you load your second view call the config value.

It would look something like this.

controller: category.php

Code:

<?php
class Category extends Controller{
  function Category(){
    parent::Controller();
  }
  function index(){
    $data['catname'] = 'Development';
    $this->config->set_item('originalcatname', 'Development');
    $data['page'] = 'home';
    $this->load->view('include/template',$data);
  }
}

header.php

Code:

<?PHP
$catname = "New Development";

home.php

Code:

<?php
echo $this->config->item('originalcatname'); // Print Stored Value
?>

[/code]

Try

Code:

$this->load->vars($array)
