Data from controller not going to view (PHP Codeigniter) - php

Question

I'm trying to get the $data from my controller to go into my view but it does not seem to be working. I keep getting a "variable does not exist" error. Here's the Controller code (view is loaded in a different part).
$affiliate_id = $this->input->get_post('affiliate_id');
$product_id = $this->input->get_post('product_id');
$data = array();
if (empty($affiliate_id)
&& empty($product_id))
{
$this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'Please enter an affiliate ID, a product ID, or both.');
redirect('admin/affiliate_relationship');
}
if (empty($affiliate_id))
{
$data['affiliate_relationship'] = $this->AffiliateRelationship->search_for_affiliate_by_product_id($product_id);
}
elseif (empty($product_id))
{
$data['affiliate_relationship'] = $this->AffiliateRelationship->search_for_affiliate_by_affiliate_id($affiliate_id);
$affiliate = $affiliate_id;
}
elseif (!empty($affiliate_id)
&& !empty($product_id))
{
$data['affiliate_relationship'] = $this->AffiliateRelationship->search_for_affiliate($affiliate_id, $product_id);
$affiliate = $affiliate_id . '/';
}
$data['affiliate_id'] = $affiliate_id;
$data['product_id'] = $product_id;
redirect_and_continue_processing('admin/affiliate_relationship/' . $affiliate . $product_id, $data);
When I pr($data) I get the array correctly, so I know the data is all there. It's just when it is used in the view it does not even exist.
Am I doing something wrong? I've done other controller and views more-or-less the same way and never got problem this before.
EDIT: View code.
<?php
$affiliateRelationshipRows = NULL;
if (!empty($affiliate_relationship))
{
$class = NULL;
$i = 0;
foreach ($affiliate_relationship->result_array() as $affiliate)
{
if (++$i%2 == 0)
{
$class= ' class="odd"';
}
else
{
$class = NULL;
}
$affiliateRelationshipRows .= <<<END
<tr $class>
<td class="text-left">{$affiliate['id']}</td>
<td class="text-left">{$affiliate['product_id']}</td>
<td class="text-left">{$affiliate['user_id']}</td>
<td class="text-left">{$affiliate['affiliate_status_id']}</td>
<td class="text-left">{$affiliate['created']}</tD>
<td class="text-left">{$affiliate['custom_payout']}</td>
<td class="text-left">{$affiliate['delayed']}</td>
<td class="text-left">{$affiliate['sales_page_url']}</td>

</tr>
END;
}
}
?>
<?php echo form_open($this->uri->uri_string()); ?>

The array:
Array
(
[affiliate_relationship] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 11615304
[created] => 2015-09-17 00:00:00
[product_id] => 175538

[comments] =>
[affiliate_status_id] => 2

[delayed] => 0
[sales_page_url] =>
)
)
[affiliate_id] => 11615304
[product_id] => 175538

Answer 1

I don't think you can send data like that in redirect_and_continue_processing() or redirect() in codeigniter. The only way to do that is by sending the data as an argument to the function that you are trying to redirect to. Then in that function, use the data to generate the view.
LIke :
redirect_and_continue_processing('admin/affiliate_relationship/' . $affiliate . $product_id/$data);
And in the method "affiliate_relationship" , accept the argument
Redirect method does not take an argument as the variable to send to view.

Answer 2

instead of using
redirect_and_continue_processing('admin/affiliate_relationship/' . $affiliate . $product_id, $data);
you can use simple way to do this
$this->load->view('your_view_name','your data in array');
