How to pass a multi dimensional array to a view in CodeIgniter

Question

this is really doing my nut in. I\'m passing a multidimensional array to a view like this:

$res = $this->deliciouslib->getRecentPosts();

In CodeIgniter, when you pass an array to the view every key is set a simple variable:

 $data = array('foo' => 'bar');
 $this->load->view('myview', $data)

 // In your view
 echo $foo; // Will output "bar"

So if you want to pass an array, just set a value as an array:

 $data = array('foo' => array('bar1', 'bar2') );
 $this->load->view('myview', $data)

 // In your view
 foreach($foo as $bar) {
   echo $bar . " "; // Will output "bar1 bar2 "
 }
