Is there a way to pass every variable in a controller action, to the view automatical

Is there a way to pass every variable in a controller action, to the view automatical

So instead of 

PHP Code:

<?php
class News extends CI_Controller {
        public function index()
        {
                $data['test'] = "hello";
        }
} 


I can have

PHP Code:

<?php
class News extends CI_Controller {
       public function index()
       {
               $test = "hello";
       }
} 


And I can echo $test in the view and the word "hello" appears as the variable is passed automatically to the view without me having to manually pass it myself.

this isn't quite how i do it but you could do something like:

PHP Code:

<?php
class News extends CI_Controller {
        
        private $data = array();

        public function index()
        {
                $this->data['stories'] = $this->News_story->get_list();
                $this->load->view('common/wrapper',$this->data);
        }

        public function story($news_story_id)
        {
                $this->data['story'] = $this->News_story->get($news_story_id);
                $this->load->view('common/wrapper',$this->data);
        }
} 


PHP Code:

$data['test'] = 'test';

$this->load->vars($data)

// Notice you do not need to pass it now in the view
// It makes it global to all views.

$this->load->view('common/wrapper'); 


What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

Automatically? No.

Is this what you want to do:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-defined-vars.php
This function returns a multidimensional array containing a list of all defined variables, be them environment, server or user-defined variables, within the scope that get_defined_vars() is called.

Then you can pass that to the view (or, I dunno, make it a global variable and access it that way)

I don't recommend any of this, setting up a $data variable doesn't seem like a burden worth working around...
