My CodeIgniter website’s controller is set up like this:

$this->load->view('head', $data); // Contains <head> stuff
$this->load->view('header', $data); // Nav and sidebars
$this->load->view($this->uri->segment(1), $data); // Main page content

    I have thought of a way to solve my issue, and I got the idea from http://joshhighland.com/blog/2008/11/09/how-i-do-layouts-and-views-in-codeigniter/. If you look on that page you can see a line like this near the bottom of the first code extract:

    $layout_data['content_body'] = $this->load->view('home/homePage', $body_data, true);

    This loads the view as a string into that variable. I will then run a function on that string to extract what I want the title to be (I will store it in an HTML comment) and put it into $layout_data['pageTitle']. Then, by following the rest of the layout method on the link, I will be able to solve my issue.
