CodeIgniter, pass data from model to controller to use in view


I want to pass data queried in my model to the controller, to do so I am using return $data. Then in the controller I use $this->load->view('my_view', $data);

From my understanding var_dump($data); in the view should show me the results from the query... This is not the case. I am getting "undefined variable data" and NULL from the var_dump($data);.

Here is my model:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Manage_accounts_model extends CI_Model {


    public function index() {

        //

    }

    public function get_users(){

        $data = array();

        $data['query'] = $this->db->get('users');

        return $data['query'];

     }

}

Here is my controller

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Manage_accounts extends CI_Controller {

    public function index() {

        $this->load->view('template/header');

        $this->load->model('manage_accounts_model');

        $this->load->view('template/footer');

        $this->load->model('manage_accounts_model');

        $res = $this->manage_accounts_model->get_users();

        if($res){

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

        } else {

            echo "Fail";

        }

  }

}

And finally my view:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
?>
<div class="container">

    <h1><?php if($title){ echo $title; } ?></h1>

    <?php var_dump($data['query']); ?>

</div>

Solution

  • I think you made 2 mistakes

    1. forget to fetch the result to an array
    2. forget to pass the data to view

    change in your model class.

    public function get_users(): array
    {
        return $this->db->get('users')->result();
    }
    

    change in your controller class

    public function index()
    {
        $this->load->model('manage_accounts_model');
        $data['result'] = $this->manage_accounts_model->get_users();
    
        $this->load->view('template/header');
        $this->load->view('manage_accounts_view', $data);
        $this->load->view('template/footer');
    }
    

    in your view

      print_r($result);
