Solution

  • Try this,

    class Welcome extends CI_Controller {


    public function index()
        {
            $test = "hello";
            $data['test'] = $test
            $this->load->view('welcome_message',$data);
        }
    }
}

    in view

    <html><body><h1><?php echo $test; ?></h1></body></html>
