Topic: Class Variables With Models?

[Hybrid Kill3r]

I want to pass a class variable from a model to a controller.  Basically something like this:

Code: [Select]

$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10");
foreach($query->result() as $news){
     $this->news->getInfo($news->id);
     $data = array(
                            'ID' => $id,
                            'TITLE' => $title,  //All of these variables would be set by the news->getInfo function
                            'BODY' => $body,
                           'DATE' => $date
                           );
}

Your description of your problem leaves allot to be desired.

make sure you are setting a variable on the controller like so.

$data = $this->model->method($id);

and on your model, use the return function to pass the data back. Like so..

return $data;

If you can post more core, we can prob help you better.

I have a list of news articles that I want to be able to parse with database queries.  I read the guide on the template parser class and the variable pairs example that they used is pretty much what I want to do.  The only thing is that I really can't figure out how to make it database powered.

Code: [Select]

$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10");
foreach($query->result() as $news){
  $this->news->article($news->id);
   $data = array(
                 'ID' => $news->id,
                 'TITLE' => $this->news->title,
                 'BODY' => $this->news->body
                 );
}

$this->parser->parse('index_body.tpl', $data);
The reason I want to do this is because it makes templating easier and it also makes it easier to execute more complicated scripts in the model without having to do it in the controller.

Your description really is still pretty vague.

Post your model controller and view.
