Help: How i show variables from different functions on the same view?

You could do it this way:

Code:

class Site extends Controller {   // Fixed case of class name

    function __construct()  {
       parent::Controller();

       $this->data = array(
                      'common_item' => 'common string here',
                      );
    }

// In your other methods you could merge_array() with a new construct, overwriting common bits,
// adding other bits, etc.  Obviously you would then pass $this->data to your views.

Note that menu_name does exist in both functions, but has a different value in both functions, so I'm not sure how you can cut down on the number of times you define that variable.


You might also want to hit the [url="/wiki/FAQ"]FAQ[/url], hit the commonly asked question 'I'm repeating lots of bits of code, is there anyway around that?' and then follow the link to my rant. Also accessible from the [url="/wiki"]main wiki[/url] front page if you follow the Approaches yellow brick path. It sounds like what you're trying to do is covered, at least in part, by that.
