passing data from controller to view in CodeIgniter results in Undefined variable

Question

I have this function in my controller:

public function checkout(){
        $data['items'] = $this->cart_model->get_items();

        $this->load->view("templates/header");
        $this->load->view("cart/checkout", $data['items']);
    }

Inside the checkout view I try to use this variable:

<?php foreach($items as $k => $item){?>

But this results in an error:

Message: Undefined variable: items

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Are you sure data['items'] is populated with the expected results. In your checkout try var_dump(data['items']) — jgetner

Hi Sebastian, don't inject $data['items'], just use $this->load->view("cart/checkout", $data);, then on your view file, use $items, or as you would do normally, foreach ($items as $item) { // code here } — Kevin

change this

$this->load->view("cart/checkout", $data['items']);

to this

$this->load->view("cart/checkout", $data);
