Why can't I pass the values initialized in the constructor of my Code Igniter controller?
I have this controller in a Code Igniter app. The value is initialized in the constructor.
class Cat extends CI_Controller {
private $data = array();
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->data['sound'] = "meow";
}
public function index() {
$this->load->view('myCatPage', $data);
}
}
The view "views / myCatPage.php" looks like this. It's simple.
<?= $sound ?>
Why is PHP flagging this error?
Message: Undefined variable: sound
I thought I sent this variable as a key in array ( $data
) which I sent to the view. I tried
$this->load->view('myCatPage', $this->data);
but this strangely fails too.
