Question

I\'m a very newbie on CodeIgniter, and while I go on I run into problems that, in the procedural coding, were easy to fix

The current issue is: I have this controlle

Answer 1

Why not user a helper?

File:

/application/helpers/meta_helper.php

Content:

 null, "robots" => "noindex, nofollow" );
}

In your controller:

class Basic extends Controller {

    function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->helper('meta');
    }    

    function index(){
        $data['meta'] = meta_data(); //associate the array on it's own key;

        //if you want to assign specific value
        $data['meta']['title'] = 'My Specific Page Title';

        //all other values will be assigned from the helper automatically

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

And in your view template:

Will output:

Hope that makes sense :-)!
