Unable to pass data from controller to view in codeigniter

I'm having issues passing data from my controller to my view. I have a contenteditable div that I am saving the contents of to my database; I want to then display that in the view.

My controller

    {
    function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->database();
        $this->load->model('view_data');
        $data = array();
    }

    public function index(){
        $data['contactMe'] = $this->input->post('data');

        $this->db->update('content', $data); 

        $results = $this->view_data->loadData();

        $data['contactMeData'] = $results;

        $this->load->view('pages/home', $data);
    }

}

My model

<?php

class View_data extends CI_Model{

    function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function loadData(){
         $this->db->where('contactMe');
         $query = $this->db->get('content');
         return $query->result_array();
    }
}

My view

<div class="w-100" ondblclick="makeEditable(this)" onblur="makeReadOnly(this)" contenteditable="true" id="contactMe">

        <?php 
          foreach($contactMeData as $contact){
              echo $contact;
          }
        ?>
      </div>
    <button id="editBtn" type="submit" value="">Save changes
    </button>

Every time I reload the page it replaces the data already in the database and I just get a blank div. I'm unable to view the data that was in the database to begin with.

This might be because every time you open the URL it updates the table, so you need a condition to check if POST request was made or not and then update the column

public function index(){

    if($this->input->post()){  // check for post request

        $data['contactMe'] = $this->input->post('data');

        $this->db->update('content', $data); // try writing db queries in model
    }

    $results = $this->view_data->loadData();

    $data['contactMeData'] = $results;

    $this->load->view('pages/home', $data);
}

See, if it helps you.

try to add parameter on where

 $this->db->where('contactMe',$parameter);

try to add field name on your view

echo $contact['field_name'];
