In your controller say method is index()
<?php
class Site extends CI_Controller{
function index()
{
// this you can also put in __construct
// if you want to share same model across other methods
$this->load->model('report_model');
// And call your model function like below
$data = $this->report_model->request_report('2015-12-10', '2016-03-10', 'some_user');
// load view
$this->load->view('bootstrap_view',array('model_output' => $data));
}
}
and in your view, say bootstrap_view.php
<div class="col-sm-12">
<?php echo $model_output;>
</div>
Also note you can make use of table class in codeigniter, where you can set template of your interest, for more details follow below link
