Question

I want to define global array constant

code in bootstrap.php

$adv_types = array('top' => 'Верх', 'left' => 'Левое', 'right' => 'Правое', 'bottom' => 'Нижнее');


code in view file


echo $form->input('Adv.type', array('type' => 'select', 'option' => $adv_types, 'label' => 'Место рекламы'));


but cakephp gives error:

“Undefined variable: adv_types”

Answer 1

These need to set in your app_controller.php, and then passed to your views

// app_controller.php
class AppController extends Controller {
        var $adv_types = array('top' => 'Верх', 'left' => 'Левое', 'right' => 'Правое', 'bottom' => 'Нижнее');
        function beforeFilter() {
            $this->set('adv_types', $this->adv_types);
        }
}

To me, bootstrap.php is not the correct file for this constant
