Data available for all views in codeigniter

Question

I have a variable, contaning data that should be present in the entire site. Instead of passing this data to each view of each controller, I was wondering if there is a way

Answer 1

Create a MY_Controller.php file and save it inside the application/core folder. In it, something like:

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {

   public $site_data;

   function __construct() {
       parent::__construct();
       $this->site_data = array('key' => 'value');
   }
}

Throughout your controllers, views, $this->site_datais now available. Note that for this to work, all your other controllers need to extend MY_Controllerinstead of CI_Controller.

Answer 2

you can use $this->load->vars('varname', $data);[ or load data at 1st view only] onse and use in any loaded views after this
