Re: [fw-general] Can controller class have class variables?

[xing93111]

Thanks chinaski.  One more question is: once I set a class variable value in
init() method, can I change the value in a method such as indexAction() and
use it in another method such as listAction()? For example:

class ForumController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
        protected $_forumid;
        
        public function init() {
                $this->_forumid = 6;
        }

    public function indexAction() {  
        $this->_forumid = 7;
    }  
    
    public function lookAction() {
        echo $this->_forumid;  //suppose to be 7
    }

...

Thanks
