Creating foreach loops using Code Igniter controller and view

Question

This is a situation I have found myself in a few times and I just want clear it up once and for all.

Best just to show you what I need to do in some example code.

Answer 1

As far as I know, there's not really a way to pass data back to the controller from the view. I myself have not ever felt the need to. Your controller should be gathering the data and then passing it to the view. If you have additional data to get from your database results, do that first and then pass it to your view along with the original data.

Maybe I'm not understanding your question though...
