Hi guys! I can't seem to get the variable in the view file. in controller

    $this->template->title = "Users";
        $this->template->content = View::factory('users/create')
                ->set('countries', Helper::countries(),false);

If I dump the Helper::countries() in the controller it shows the array contents so i know the array has values. view
<?php echo Form::select('country_id','', $countries); ?> I get this error message:
ErrorException [ 4096 ]: Argument 3 passed to Fuel\Core\Form::select() must be an array, null given, called in c:\\fuel\app\views\users\_form.php on line 68 and defined what am i doing wrong? Thanks.

$this->template->content = View::factory('users/create')->set('countries', Helper::countries(),false);

Here you request the view "users/create", but that doesn't match the error:

ErrorException [ 4096 ]: Argument 3 passed to Fuel\Core\Form::select() must be an array, null given, called in c:\\fuel\app\views\users\_form.php on line 68 and defined

That talks about the view "users/_form". As the error and the requested view don't match it looks like this isn't the full picture yet...

you're right I was calling the wrong view

thanks for pointing that out.

Am not front of the pc now .. I thinking I have a nested view ... create view is calling _form view. When calling the _form view from create view do I need to pass the variables to the _form view again?

Stephen Cozart

you either have to pas the variables to your _form view from the render function in your users/create file or use set_global instead of set.

I can get the variable if i use $this->template->set_global('data', $data); but not using the method below:

$this->template->content = View::factory('users/create')
                ->set('var','xxxxxxx',FALSE);

Just wondering why the above code doesn't work and also what's the best way of passing variables to the view when using the template_controller?
