Needing a little assistance with setting up multiple view references from within on controller function.

Maybe I am setting this up wrong and if so please let me know.

Question is how do I carry stored variable data like the $seo array listed below from the controller into the view if the view is loaded from the controller.

Views:

View1: header

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;meta name="keywords" content="&lt;?PHP echo $seo-&gt;keywords ?&gt;" /&gt;

&lt;meta name="description" content="&lt;?PHP echo $seo-&gt;description ?&gt;" /&gt;

&lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt;

&lt;title&gt;&lt;/title>

&lt;link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" /&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

View2: navi

Code:
<div id="menu">

  <ul>

   &lt;?PHP echo $menu->list ?&gt;

  </ul>

 </div>

View3: footer

Code:
<div id="footer">

  <p>Footer</p>

 </div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Controller:

Code:
class User extends CI_Controller {

    public function addUser(){

        $this->load->view('header');

        $this->load->view('wrapper');

        $this->load->view('navi');

        $this->load->view('add_user');

        $this->load->view('footer');

    }

Thank you. Had looked at that document but was having problems understanding it. Looked it over again now knowing it does contain what I wanted and ran tests until I successfully got this to work.

Passing dynamic data to views is an incredibly important and common feature with CI apps. Definitely learn how to do it properly.

Hi Creator

In your controller you create an array of values and pass it to the view as the 2nd parameter

Code:
$data = array();

$data['menu'] = $menu->list;

$data['seo_keywords'] = $seo->keywords;

$this->load->view('header', $data);

$this->load->view('navi', $data);

then in you view you reference the array element as a variable

Code:
&lt;meta name="keywords" content="&lt;?PHP echo $seo_keywords ?&gt;" /&gt;

and

Code:
&lt;?PHP echo $menu ?&gt;
