Question

I have some data that I have to display as a table.

I think I should pass the data from the controller as $data[‘events’] = array(…..

and then load the view to display them.

        <?php
    $this->load->library('table');

    echo $this->table->generate($events);
    ?>

this doesn’t work though – it gives a Fatal error: Call to a member function generate() on a non-object

If I paste the same code in the controller, obviously using ->generate($data[‘events’] the table gets displayed correctly.

Should I get that views can’t load libraries, or I am doing something wrong?
Or maybe should I capture the output of the library in the controller and send that to the view?

Answer 1

You should run below code in the controller:

<?php
$this->load->library('table');

echo $this->table->generate($events);
?>

and store the data in variable and then send to the view.
