Some help with a view, controller question?

[eluser]adultnapper[/eluser]
Hi i'm just new to CI, in fact, new to the MVC frameworks and MVC architecture.
Although i read the full user guide of CI, i have a big question that i can't find the answer. Sorry if this has been asked before and my search thought the forums failed.

Ok so i have my controller, with my index function that loads my view, and a custom private function that i made, and it starts with the _ so i'm sure it's private and can't be accesed thru the URI segments. My problems is, i don't know how to call it in my view, how to use output from it, etc, this sounds silly and simple but i can't get it to work, guess i must have a square head!

Thanks for your time.

You don't call it in your view. You call it in your controller and pass the results to your view. capiche?

Try checking out the video tutorials on the CI homepage. There are 2 video's that will help you a lot !

Thanks, i will look at the videos, i missed those.

And bretticus, is there any other way to pass it on except to load a view with the $data array ?

Apparently you can just set data that is accessible to all views.

Code:

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

I haven't used it but here's the loader documentation
