Question

I have a trouble with CodeIgniter.
I would like to get (recoup) data from a helper that I call in a view.
I will explain with the code

Here’s my view :

// CALL THE FUNCTION FROM THE HELPER
    <?php recup_email(); ?>

// DATA RECOUP FROM THE HELPER
    <?php foreach($em as $e): ?>
       <?php echo $e->email_membre; ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

As you can see, I call the function and just after I would like to use data that I had recoup.

Here’s my helper :

function recup_email()
{
    $CI =& get_instance();
    $CI->load->model('unite_model');

    $data['em'] = $CI->unite_model->email_membre_model();        
}

But I don’t know how to recoup data without using

    $layout_network['contenu'] = $this->load->view('list_vote_friend', $data, TRUE);
    $this->load->view('layout_network',$layout_network); 

because the view is already loaded.

I hope you understand, sorry for my bad english.
Many thanks.

Answer 1

In the example you have given, why not just return the data from the helper function?

function recup_email()
{
    $CI =& get_instance();
    $CI->load->model('unite_model');

    $membres = $CI->unite_model->email_membre_model();  
    return $membres;      
}

So that is you view;

// CALL THE FUNCTION FROM THE HELPER
    <?php $em = recup_email(); ?>

// DATA RECOUP FROM THE HELPER
    <?php foreach($em as $e): ?>
       <?php echo $e->email_membre; ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
