Can I set a variable in view file?

$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('main');
$this->load->view('footer');

I need set a variable on file main.php and get on footer.php

Its possible?

You can pass a variable from one view to another just like you would from a controller to a view. You just have to load the view file that sets that variable before the view that uses that variable:

$this->load->view('main'); //load before
$this->load->view('footer'); //load after

Inside of main.php do $this->load->vars(array('your_variable'=>'it's value')); and you will be able to call it in the footer like you would any other variable. The only requirement is that main.php be loaded before footer.php.
