CodeIgniter - accessing $config variable in view

Question

Pretty often I need to access $config variables in views. I know I can pass them from controller to load->view(). But it seems excessive to do i

Answer 1

You can do something like that:

$ci = get_instance(); // CI_Loader instance
$ci->load->config('email');
echo $ci->config->item('name');

Answer 2

$config['cricket'] = 'bat'; in config.php file

$this->config->item('cricket') use this in view

Answer 3

$this->config->item() works fine.

For example, if the config file contains $config['foo'] = 'bar'; then $this->config->item('foo') == 'bar'

Answer 4

$this->config->item('config_var') did not work for my case.

I could only use the config_item('config_var'); to echo variables in the view

Answer 5

This is how I did it. In config.php

$config['HTML_TITLE'] = "SO TITLE test";

In applications/view/header.php (assuming html code)

<title><?=$this->config->item("HTML_TITLE");?> </title>

Answer 6

Whenever I need to access config variables I tend to use: $this->config->config['variable_name'];
