Call a constructor value in my view

[eluser]breaddes[/eluser]
I set the following in my controller constructor:

Code:

$this->countries = array('Deutschland'=>'de', 'Belgien'=>'be', 'Lichtenstein'=>'li', 'Luxemburg'=>'lu', 'Österreich'=>'at', 'Schweiz'=>'ch');

Now I would like to use $this->countries in my view. Normally I would send it with my $data-parameter, but I need that in each function of my controller and I think there must be a better way to do it so. Otherwise I would have to write 10 times $data['countries'] = $this->countries.

You can call

Code:

$this->load->vars(array('country' => $this->countries));

on you constructor, so the data will be on all controllers methods views

great. works out!

I've done it in a model which autoloads. There's still one thing ... I can use country in my views, but how can I use it in my controller then?

Edit:
I've got it. Just call $this->language_model->countries
