I think you might need to use: array_push($data,json_decode(file_get_contents('http://localhost:8888/api/colleges'))

or you need to specify an index for $data e.g. $data[0]

You need to use:

Controller:
$data['colleges']= json_decode(file_get_contents('http://localhost:8888/api/colleges'));

View:
foreach($colleges as $college)

CodeIgniter translates the $data array into variables based on their key to be used in your view.

So, if (in your controller) you had:

$data['poop'] = "Poop is stinky."

Then, in your view, you won't be using $data, you'll be using

echo $poop;
// Poop is stinky.
