variables in views

I don't quite see the case where you'd be calling the same view with and without data...

But if there is the case and you implement your patch - what you have forgotten to mention is the need to use something like this in your view

Code:

<?php echo isset($x)?$x:'';  // '' or whatever the default is meant to be?>

If you don't you'll be generating an error message asking you what $x is meant to be!
