Codeigniter - Avoid repeated code

Question

I have a database table with some information about the website such as the site title, phone numbers etc... This information is needed on every page. Is there a way i could get those database values into variables on every page without having to write the same code in every page controllers?

Thanks, Marais

put the logic getData() into the model that handles the database table; then call the method from any controller you need; If you're making the same call from different controllers during a single request just use caching to avoid querying the database again for the same data — scibuff

But this will still require me to have repeated code in each controller... — Codecube

yes but that will be just two lines such as $data = $this->some_model->get_data(); $view['data'] = $data; — scibuff

well you can't not repeat some code if you want the same data/functionality in different places; the point is to keep the duplication to minimum; there is definitely nothing wrong with calling the same function from different places — scibuff

How about using autoloading of codeigniter AutoLoader

Create your custom helper and the method to get the data you needed from your database, then just call the method on every view file that you need it to be shown.
