On that point, may what you want to do is declare $display as a class
member (just inside your controller class, not inside a method/action/
callback) like so:
var $_display;
and when you need to set it:
$this->_display = $this->Auth->user('display');
Take note I used the Auth component as it is more concise and fits the
purpose of the code.
Now, if you want to get or test its value:
if ($this->_display) {
// do something here
}
Cheers,
OJ
