I have a class which contains a method to load a view. This works perfect and the page is loaded correctly! The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to figure out a way to pass variables to the view that my method currently tries to load. How can I go by passing variables to the page? Is there a way I can manipulate my current code to make this work? Or am I going in the complete opposite direction?
Controller Class:
<?php
class Controller {
private $args = array();
public function view($page, $args = null) {
if ($args !== null) {
$this->args = $args;
extract($this->args);
}
$page = VIEWS . $page . '.php';
$template = $this->getTemplate($page);
echo $template;
}
private function getTemplate($file) {
ob_start();
include($file);
$template = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $template;
}
}
?>
Controller:
<?php
class Page extends Controller {
public function person($age) {
$data['age'] = $age;
$this->view('person', $data);
}
}
?>
View Contents:
</h1>My name is Dennis. My age is: <?php echo $age; ?></h1>
The end result is an undefined variable ($age).
