Thanks for the reply Joel. As usual just after I posted this tried
something else and got this working. I was placing the 'vendor();'
call at the bottom of the index.thtml file. As I replaced the original
function with it. I've found if I place the vendor() call before the
function is needed it works fine. Strange PHP.
As for the comment on the no business logic in the View I agree. But
then again I never actually stated what this function I'm including
does. It's not business logic. It's just code to help build the radio
buttons sets since each form (a Questionnaire) has 80+ questions. It's
similar to the built-in Cake function for building say an input field.
But for my case I need to wrap some HTML code around each question and
Yes/No radio button set. It's easier to place this into a function to
build the view output then manually for each of the questions.
