Question

When I try to run the following application in CodeIgniter, I get the following error:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined variable: data
Filename: views/blog.php
Line Number: 1

I’ve been trying to figure it out for almost an hour and I can’t get it to work. My view looks like this:

<?php foreach($data->result() as $row): ?>
<h1><?php echo $row->title; ?></h1>
<p><?php echo $row->post; ?></p>
<?php endforeach; ?>

My controller looks like this:

<?php
    class Blog extends CI_Controller {  
    public function index()
    {
        $this->load->database();
        $data = $this->db->get('posts');

        $this->load->helper('url');
        $this->load->view('header');
        $this->load->view('blog', $data);
        $this->load->view('footer');
    }
}

Anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

You have to change your controller and view

the array you send throught data should be like this:

$data['post'] = $this->db->get('posts');

and in your view:

<?php foreach($post->result() as $row): ?>
<h1><?php echo $row->title; ?></h1>
<p><?php echo $row->post; ?></p>
<?php endforeach; ?>

codeiginter sends variables to view using $data array. If you want to send something to a view, put inside to $data as $data[‘key’] = $val;
