I want to pass $data from the controller named poll to the results_view however I am getting an undefined variable error.
The view wouldn't call the data 'data'
The controller would include an associative index (not sure if that's correct nomenclature) for data e.g 'stuff' looking thus $data['stuff']
You'd echo in the view so: echo $stuff; not echo $data;
I am a v lowly code fiddler but do really like CodeIgniter so excuse me if i've got this arse about tit.
One more thing - surely your constructor function is a bit of a waste. All that loading of libraries and helpers is done with the autoload file.
