Answer by thelastshadow for codeigniter : pass data to a view included in a view

castis's solution works

however if you want to do this on a more finely grained level you can use:

//in your controller$data['whatever'] = 'someValue';

.

//In your viewecho $whatever //outputs 'someValue';//pass $whatever on$this->load->view('some/view', Array('whatever' => $whatever));
