+<h2>Loading multiple views</h2>

+<p>CodeIgniter will intelligently handle  multiple calls to $this-&gt;load-&gt;view from within a controller.  If more then one call happens they will be appended together. For example, you may wish to have a header view, a menu view, a content view, and a footer view. That might look something like this:</p>

+<p><code>&lt;?php<br />

+<br />

+class Page extends Controller {<br /><br />

+

+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;function index()<br />

+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{<br />

+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$data['page_title'] =  'Your title';<br />

+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$this-&gt;load-&gt;view('header');<br />

+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$this-&gt;load-&gt;view('menu');<br />

+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$this-&gt;load-&gt;view('content', $data);<br />

+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$this-&gt;load-&gt;view('footer');<br />

+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br />

+<br />

+}<br />

+    ?&gt;</code></p>
