Codeigniter - Passing data from MY_Controller to Main_controller to view - codeigniter

Question

This is the complete code (I want to select the view through a variable set on the MY_Controller):
I would like to pass that variable but it doesn't "reach" the view it gives me
$ses_group = "not_logged_in" with a test echo and I'm not setting anything on the MY_Controller
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
protected $special_data = array();
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
function index() {
if (logged_in() == TRUE)
{
if (in_group('users'))
{
$this->special_data['ses_group'] = 'users';
}elseif (in_group('empresas'))
{
$this->special_data['ses_group'] = 'empresas';
}elseif (in_group('admin'))
{
$this->special_data['ses_group'] = 'admin';
}else{
// $this->special_data['ses_group'] = 'not_logged_in';
}
}
return $this->special_data;
}
The Main_Controller:
function index(
$data = array(
'ses_group' => $this->special_data
);
$this->load->view('auth/descricao_anuncio', $data);
)
The view:
<?php if($ses_group="not_logged_in"){ ?>
<li>Login</li>
<?php }elseif($ses_group="users"){ ?>
<li>Your Area</li>
<li>Logout</li>
<?php }elseif($ses_group="empresas"){ ?>
<li>Empresa</li>
<li>Logout</li>
<?php }?>
echo $ses_group;
Thanks againg!

Controller
<?php
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
protected $special_data = array();
function MY_Controller () {
parent::Controller();
}
function special_data($val)
{
if(a){
$this->special_data['ses_group'] = 'users';
}elseif(b){
$this->special_data['ses_group'] = 'companies';
}else{
$this->special_data['ses_group'] = 'admin';
}
return $this->special_data;// return value of the function
}
}
You can send your value from controller to views by using $this-> in your MY_Controller
Controller
class Main_controller extends MY_Controller {
function __construct() {
parent::MY_Controller();
}
$this->data['group']= $this->special_data['ses_group'];// call function and pass parameter
$this->load->view('view_x', $this->data);
}
Views
<?php echo $group; ?>

Is this what you need
controller
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
protected $special_data = array();
function special_data($val)
{
if($val=="a"){
$this->special_data = 'users';
}elseif($val=="b"){
$this->special_data = 'companies';
}else{
$this->special_data = 'admin';
}
return $this->special_data;// return value of the function
}
}
class Main_controller extends MY_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function index()
{
$data = array(
'group' => $this->special_data('a')
);
$this->load->view('view_x', $data);
}
}
view
<?php echo $group; ?>
