Question

I have recently decided to adopted Codeigniter as a PHP framework.

I would like to set some variables that should be available to all my controllers/models/views.

How would I go about this?

Answer 1

See CodeIgniter’s documentation on $this->load->vars().

The documentation states:

This function takes an associative array as input and generates
variables using the PHP extract function. This function produces the
same result as using the second parameter of the $this->load->view()
function. The reason you might want to use this function
independently is if you would like to set some global variables in the
constructor of your controller and have them become available in any
view file loaded from any function. You can have multiple calls to
this function. The data get cached and merged into one array for
conversion to variables.
