You can't. Zend_View does not pass any parameters to individual view
helpers. Typically, if you need to configure a view helper before using
it, the best way includes:
* Adding accessors to your view helper so that you can configure it
* Grabbing an instance of the view helper from the view object prior
to using it in a view script:
$foo = $view->getHelper('foo');
$foo->setSomething($bar)
->setOtherThings($baz);
Since the view object uses the same instance of a helper every time it
is requested, an approach like this will allow you to set default state
for it in all invocations.
