CodeIgniter global variable

Question

I am using $data in all my views $this->load->view(\'my_view\', $data);

I have also autoload a Controller following this guide Exten

Answer 1

I used a helper function to call a global function!

eg.

function get_user($userid){
    $CI =& get_instance();

    $query = $CI->db->get_where('users', array('id' => $userid), 1, 0);
    foreach ($query->result() as $row){
        // Return a object with userdata!
        return $row;
    }
}

Now I have access to my userdata everywhere..
