Calling controller methods from inside view

[eluser]gtech[/eluser]
I think it bad practice to load a controller method in a view, what you should do is call the method within the controller method (or create a library) and then pass the data to the view.

I think its bad practice as you could end up calling the same method you loaded the view from, and don't think it really conforms with the MVC design approach. Also if you loaded the view from a different controller you would end up calling a method that isn't available.

So to answer your question, its deliberate that you can't call a controllers method using $this-> in a view.
