Pass additional data with Code Igniter Core Controller

I have this core controller in my code igniter app and I want to pass a view variable to all my views.

My view is loaded in my normal controllers, so I can't load the view again in my Core controller.

So, how am I gonna do that? I tried using $data['fromCoreVar'] and I tried $fromCoreVar. Neither of both does work which is incredibly well understandable. But, I want it to work.

What is the solution?

Solution

  • In your core controller, declare a variable:

    protected $data;

    Then in your core controller, assign data to the variable like:

    $this->data['some_index'] = 'some value';

    In your child controller you use $data in the same way:

    $this->data['other_index'] = 'other value';

    and pass it all to your view:

    $this->load->view('my_view', $this->data);
