Codeigniter 4 Passing Array to view - codeigniter

Question

Fairly new to codeigniter and i just cant find the right way to load an array into a view.
for example lets say i have an array like
$data = [
'title' => 'my title,
'desc' => 'my desc,
];
i can pass that to my view like
return view('myview',$data);
then simply echo it out in my view like
<h1><?= $title ?></h1>
<p><?= $desc ?></p>
That works fine. but now lets say i have another array like :
$moredata =[
'more_data' => 'some more data',
'even_more_data' => 'even more data',
];
if i try to add that to my data array like
$data[] = $moredata
when i try to access 'more_data' or 'even_more_data' in my view like
<?= $more_data ?>
i get a undefined variable error for $moredata. So how do i access the variables within that new array? am i declaring them properly?
also if i wanted to loop through the secondary array how do i do that. trying
<?php foreach($moredata as $items){ ?>
<li><?php echo $items; ?></li>
<?php } ?>
also gives me an undefined variable error for $moredata
any help on how to do this correctly in codeigniter 4 appreciated.

Codeigniter uses the key of the array you're giving him to create variables name.
You should init it this way :
$moredata =[
'more_data' => 'some more data',
'even_more_data' => 'even more data',
];
// key of your array will be a variable name in your view
$data['my_var_name_in_view'] = $moredata
return view('myview',$data);
Then in your view you will be able to perform this :
<?php foreach($my_var_name_in_view as $items){ ?>
<li><?php echo $items; ?></li>
<?php } ?>
