Suppose i have a controller called home like this
class Home extends CI_Controller{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
//load the settings model
$this->load->Model('settings_model');
//get the all settings and store it into a variable
$siteSettings = $this->settings_model->SiteSettings();
//how to pass the data to view
$data['site'] = $siteSettings;
}
public function index()
{
//some code and pass the value to view
$data["some_item"] = "some value";
//Load the view
$this->load->view("home",$data);
}
public function SomeMethod1()
{
//some code and pass the value to view
$data["some_item"] = "some value";
//Load the view
$this->load->view("home",$data);
}
public function SomeMethod2()
{
//some code and pass the value to view
$data["some_item"] = "some value";
//Load the view
$this->load->view("home",$data);
}
}
But my problem is i want to pass $siteSettings to my each method. I don't want to fetch the data every time from settings_model for my different method of home controller. I just want to get the data from database on __construct() and pass the value to each method when i call the different method.
How can i achieve this? Should I use a public variable and store the fetched data to this variable and call the variable from different method?

Set that in session. and can access all over the project.
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->session->unset_userdata('site'); # unset on each and every time
$this->load->Model('settings_model');
$siteSettings = $this->settings_model->SiteSettings();
$this->session->set_userdata('site', $siteSettings); # Set after end of __construct
}
Or do like this
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->Model('settings_model');
$this->data['site'] = $this->settings_model->SiteSettings();
}
In function
$this->load->view("name",$this->data);
