How to send multiple variables to codeigniter's view?

I am trying to the array variable $popular_data in Codeigniter’s view, it is installed with Modesty script.

I tried to append this variable to the one already passed to view by array_merge, $data + $variable

in Model:

public function get_popular_products(){
    $popular_data = $this->db->query(‘SELECT... ’)->result_array();
    return $popular_data;
}

in Controller:

$this->load->model("Popularproduct_model");
$popularproducts = $this->Popularproduct_model->get_popular_products();

var_dump($popularproducts) here(in controller) shows the queried popular products on top of view as 

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  array(34) {
    ["id"]=>
    string(1) "3"
    ["title"]=>
    string(13) "Patchouli Oil"
    ["slug"]=>
    string(15) "patchouli-oil-3"
...

other variable passed to view as: 

$this->load->view('index', $data);

So how to send the $popularproducts to the view and use the values?

Thanks.

store it in $data

$data['popularproducts'] = $this->Popularproduct_model->get_popular_products();

then make foreach inside your view.

foreach($popularproducts as $data){
  echo $data['title'].'<br>'.
       $data['slug'];

}

To Pass multiple values from controller to view you should use an array as below given example

Each variable are as examples, you can convert it as per your requirement

Controller:

$data['variable'] =  $variable;//from db or hardcoded

$data['arrayofObject'] =  $arrayofObject;//from db or hardcoded

$data['arrayofArray'] =  $arrayofArray;//from db or hardcoded

$this->load->view('index',$data) // add data array here in 2nd parameter

View:

i.e:
<div>
     <span><?php echo $variable; ?></span>
</div>
<div>
     <ul>
     <?php if(!empty($arrayofObject)) { ?>
          <?php for($arrayofObject as $obj) { ?>
              <li><?php echo $obj->key; ?></li>
          <?php } ?>
     <?php } ?>
     </ul>
</div>
<div>
     <ul>
     <?php if(!empty($arrayofArray)) { ?>
          <?php for($arrayofArray as $ary) { ?>
              <li><?php echo $ary['key']; ?></li>
          <?php } ?>
     <?php } ?>
     </ul>
</div>

In CodeIgniter, we can send data from Controller to view as an associative array.

The function call $this->load->view() has two parameters:

1) View (template) file (path if its not in the default /application/views folder.

2) The associative data array to be passed.

$data['popularproducts'] = $popularproducts;
$this->load->view('index', $data);

If you pass $data in above scenario, your template index.php has a variable $popularproducts.

$popularproducts in the template/view is same as you passed from Controller.

Make an array with each of variables:

$data['variable1'] =  $variable1;

$data['variable2'] =  $variable2;

$data['variable3'] =  $variable3;

$this->load->view('template_name',$data) // add data array here in 2nd parameter

at first your can add the data in $data['popularproducts'] and then pass it into the view.

$data['popularproducts'] = $popularproducts;

$this->load->view('index', $data);
