Define $dynamic_header as an array in the view object. When you first
initialize the view object, do something like this:
$view = new Zend_View();
$view->dynamic_header = array();
Then, whenever you want to add to it, just add a new element to the
array:
$view->dynamic_header[] = '<meta name="keywords" value="zend framework
zend_view" /> ';
Then, in the view script, iterate over the array:
<?php foreach ($this->dynamic_header as $header):
echo $header, "\n";
endforeach; ?>
Finally, use a Two Step View as I've outlined previously in this thread
-- use a dispatchLoopShutdown() plugin to throw the response body into a
sitewide template (which it looks like you're doing here).
