Hi Bakers,

I think there's something I'm not getting about the mechanism for
passing data in to the view, because my attempts quickly become very
hard to read.

I'm frequently passing data from multiple Models and aggregate
functions into my views.
However, the format returned from Cake's query functions can't easily
be traversed to render the page, so needs its structure changed in the
Controller to be more usable by the View.

However, with more complex pages, converting these multi dimensional
arrays I get from queries into a usable form for a view, then iterating
through them in the views, makes for highly unreadable and hard to
maintain code.

What solutions have people come up with to avoid such tricky multi
dimensional arrays?

I'm considering passing Objects to my view, however that means I have
to create classes/interfaces to define the objects I'm going to pass to
the view, or create objects on the fly, including their members and
methods, which doesn't look fun.

Someone must have surely seen this as a problem before, and found a
nice way to deal with it?

Or is there just something I'm missing?

Help!!!!!!!
