Codeigniter include files

I am trying to include a header in my application.I created a controllers site and defined a function header in it, which renders the data variables to views/header.php

However, when i try to access myUrl/site/header all varialble work fine but when i create another function in site controller index and include views/header in that, and i run site/index then i get Undefined variable notices in the header.

Any Idea??

class site extends CI_Controller { function header() {

$data =array('name'=>'foo');

$this->load->view('includes/header',$data); }

function index() {

$this->load->view('includes/index'); } }

INDEX.PHP

$this->load->view('includes/header');

Got it Solved!!!!

Wrote a new helper and returned the data from there, then passed the data to view using load->view('includes/header',$data);

This is not the correct way of doing it. Basically i do it like Rafiqunnabi except i don't load views within views.

For e.g:

 public function index()
{
  $this->load->view('include/header');
  $this->load->view('home');
  $this->load->view('include/footer');
}

If you want to keep separate segments(e.g header, footer, navigation bar etc) of your Html pages to separate view files, I think it's better to do this in the following way

keep the contents you want to be header to a file name header.php(or anything else you like) to views folder. Suppose, the contents of the header.php is

<html>
    <head>
        <title>This is title</title>
    </head>
    <body>

Another file named footer.php contains the following

</body>
</html>

Another file my_view.php in view folder that will hold the contents of that page. Sample contents are 

<?php $this->load->view('header');?>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>Main contents here</p>
<?php $this->load->view('footer');?>

Now, if you load the my_view from your controller function, the entire HTML page will be rendered.

function my_controller_function(){
    $this->load->view('my_view');
}
