Can I have data['miVariable'] available in all methods in class?

Hello

Can I have data['miVariable'] available in all methods in class?

Let say I have the index class, how can I make data['miVariable'] reachable for all the methods in the class. I tried putting it in the construct function but nope...

Code:

class Index extends MY_Controller {

   function __construct(){
      parent::__construct();

   }

   function method1(){
        
     $this->load->view('myView1', $data); // $data contains data['miVariable']
   }
   function method2(){
        
     $this->load->view('myView2', $data); // $data contains data['miVariable']
   }
   function method3(){
        
     $this->load->view('myView3', $data); // $data contains data['miVariable']
   }
}

Code:

class Index extends MY_Controller {

   function __construct(){
      parent::__construct();
      $this->data = array('miVariable' => 'some_value');
   }

   function method1(){
        
     $this->load->view('myView1', $this->data);
   }
   function method2(){
        
     $this->load->view('myView2', $this->data);
   }
   function method3(){
        
     $this->load->view('myView3', $this->data);
   }
}

You can also load the data in the constructor

Code:

class Index extends MY_Controller {

   function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();

       $common_data = array('miVariable' => 'some_value');

       $this->load->vars($common_data);
   }
   function method3(){
        
     $this->load->view('myView3');
   }
}
