Question

Like we can do $this->partial(); or $this->render() with Zend Framework. How can i make my own $this->myOwnStuff(); ?

Example:
Before:
<tr>
 <td>label</td>
 <td>value1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>label2</td>
 <td>value2</td>
</tr>

After:
$this->tr(
  array(
    "label"=>"value1", "value"=> "value1"
    "label"=>"value2", "value"=> "value2"
  )
);

It’s pretty easy. If you want to create a helper, just create a new helper class and plot it in /application/views/helpers. Of if you’re structuring it so that you have your own library putting it in library/My_Library/View/Helper will also work.

Make sure to extend from the base helper abstract. Something along the lines of

class My_View_Helper_Stuff extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract {
}
