Question

I have a header.php I’m loading in my controllers for every page. However I want to have dynamic titles for each page. My idea was to pass a $title variable into the view as I’m loading it:

//Home Controller
function index()
{

    $data['title'] = "Dynamic Title";

    $this->load->view('header', $data);
    $this->load->view('layouts/home');
    $this->load->view('footer');

}

and then check for the $title variable in my header.php

<title>
    <?php if ($title)
        { 
            echo $title; 
        }
    else
        { 
            echo 'Default Title'; 
        }
    endif; ?>       
</title>

However this doesn’t work and I get a blank page. I think it is my syntax for the header.php but I can’t figure out why.

Answer 1

Well I would try doing a var dump of $title in the view, just to see if it’s getting passed at all.

Also, you don’t need “endif;” since you’re ending the if statement with the last curly brace.
