Templates

No, I can assure you I'm starting with a clean install of CI and following a tutorial by Jeffrey Way of Nettuts Plus -

- if you're interested.

It's very simple. I have a controller called site.php with a function:

Code:

function contact_us()
    {
        $data['content']='contact_us';
        $this->load->view('template',$data);
    }

I also have views called template.php and contact_us.php.The template view includes the statement:

Code:

$this->load->view($content);

if I go to the url http;//localhost/sitefolder/index.php/site/contact_us I load the template view as you would expect and the data from $content is displayed as you would expect, the data having been passed to the template view.

What's puzzling me is how CI knows that the value 'contact_us' refers to the contents of the Contact_us view. It works in Jeffrey Way's tutorial and it works on my computer but why?
