CodeIgniter Tutorial News section

(5) The 5th is difficult to understand. - The next thing to do is passing this data to the views. - I assume the code is to be pasted into News.php

You're right: the index() method is part of the News controller.
It collects the news items via the model.
It stores the data in an array called $data.

Then, it passes this array to the views that are loaded:

PHP Code:

$this->load->view('news/index', $data); 


The first parameter for loading the view is the view file itself. In this case application/views/news/index.php.
The second parameter is an array containing all the variables that you want to pass to the view. In this case $data.

The view will automatically extract the array. So, when your controller defines an array element $data['news'], the view can simply process a variable $news. Which - in this case - is an array itself, containing one or more records. That's why the view index.php has a foreach .... endforeach loop to display the text from all news items.

Thanks Wouter60, I'm grateful for your help. I'll need to study more to get the picture.
