How to output from a variable instead of a file?

[eluser]sceleski[/eluser]
I have HTML chunks concatenated into a variable.

How to output this without breaking order?

Using load->view doesn't work because it looks up for a file. If I just echo it, then other load-view calls will not be rendered in same order (echoing will go first), and header will break.

My first thought would be to create a "direct_output" view that looks something like this;

views/direct_output.php

Code:

<?php
echo $html;
?>

You would then, in your controller have the following:

Code:

$data['html'] = "<div><div>Something</div></div>";
$this->load->view('direct_output',$data);

I hope this helps.

EDIT Disregard this suggestion, use Aken's (Output class' append_output() method). Silly me, I forget CodeIgniter has all these cool features already.

Unnecessary. Use the Output class's append_output() method.

Great, that was it, thanks!

But that trick that Kyle said was interesting :-)
