Re: Simple question about $this->set

[Larry E. Masters aka PhpNut]

Bert,

Logical reason is it is not awkward but correct to use the view var that was set in the controller, they are not even variables until the view "gets" them. If you need to check that your code set them, then the logical place to check is in the var itself, or like I said, since they are output variables check that the variables have been set for the view in the view.

Another suggestion create __checkVars($viewVariable); in your controller.

Something like this:

    function __checkVar($viewVariable) {
        if(in_array($viewVariable, $this->_viewVars)){
            // add your code
        } else {
            // do something else
        }
    }

And use it to check your variables.
