Question

I’m create a model view controller framework and im kind of new to this. I want to pass variables from controllers to views. My View.php constructor looks like this:

    function __construct($file, $args) {
        $this->view = $file;
         foreach($args as $key => $arg) {
            $this->view->$key = 'awda';
         }
    }

it gives me error cause

 $this->view->$key is not a valid statement. 

If i do it from Controller something like

 $this->view->hello = 'hello world' 

and i do echo

 $this->hello 

in view it works fine, but i want to be able to have multiple vars passed in. Does anyone know a better way of doing this? thank you

You are attempting to assign properties to what I suspect is a string ($file). Since you are inside your view’s constructor, you can simply use $this to refer to the view:

function __construct($file, $args) {
    $this->view = $file;
     foreach($args as $key => $arg) {
        $this->view->$key = 'awda'; // HERE is the issue.. isn't $this->view a string?
     }
}


function __construct($file, $args) {
    $this->view = $file;
     foreach($args as $key => $arg) {
        $this->$key = 'awda'; // assign $key as property of $this instead...
     }
}
