controller without the controller?

[eluser]soprabaixar1[/eluser]
I can not make a "flag " between the view and controller. I did several tests, for example, declare a variable just below the class declaration and then increment in method index(); of the controller.

Sending this variable ($data['x'] = $this->x to the view but can not exceed the value 1. This is always 0 or 1. This shows that have no proper control. How can I make the increment value ever? I tried the command $this->x++; and gave a "print $this->x;" in both the controller and the view.

The problem I'm having is larger than this, then simplified and did some testing to understand where he was wandering.

Hard to understand your post, but I think you forgot to <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php">declare the external flag as global</a>.

How do I know if it's the first time that the controller executed??
There are several methods in the controller, but need to know when it is first executed.

It would be like to use the "static".
The problem I'm having is when I use the pagination and go to next page. This is restarting some variables that should not.
I have been using global variable.

Code:

class Users extends Controller {

  var $status = 0;

  function ...
}
