Question

OK, I went through a database tutorial and eventually ended up with the following:

function index() {
    $this->load->model('dataModel');

    $data['rows'] = $this->dataModel->getAll();     
    $data = array('title' => 'NKADD Calendar of Events', 'main_content' => 'pages/contact');
    $this->load->view('template/main', $data);

}

I am getting errors and I believe it has something to do with the $data array/variable getting confused, but I’m not sure how to fix it!

This is the view page, btw

foreach ($rows as $r) {
    echo '<h1>' . $r->title . '</h1>';
}

An error is reached when viewing the page

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined variable: rows
Filename: pages/contact.php

Any Assitance?

Well, you need not add to $data array, array of variables, but to do something like this:

$data = array(
    'rows'    => $this->dataModel->getAll(),
    'title'   => 'Your title',
    'main_content'    => 'your main content value',
);

Or adding elements to array, as:

$data['title'] = 'Your title';
// so on

This way you can access $title and $rows, and other vars in template.
