Question

If I have a view and want to see all the set variables for the particular view, how would I do it?

Answer 1

Variables assigned to a Zend_View object simply become public properties of the view object.

Here are a couple of ways to get all variables set in a particular view object.

From within a view script:

$viewVars = array();

foreach($this as $name => $value) {
    if (substr($name, 0, 1) == '_') continue; // protected or private

    $viewVars[$name] = $value;
}

// $viewVars now contains all view script variables

From a Zend_View object in a controller:

$this->view->foo = 'test';
$this->view->bar = '1234';

$viewVars = get_object_vars($this->view);
// $viewVars now contains all public properties (view variables)

The last example would work just as well for a view object created manually using $view = new Zend_View();
