如何使用特定文本呈现视图？

Question

I have a class like this:

class myData {
  function render(){
    $str = 'This is string.';
    // have to code here
  }
}

and a myview.phtml file:

<div id='someid'></div>

Q: Now I want to do something like this in another phtml file:

<?php
$obj = new myData ();
echo $obj->render(); // it should be <div id='someid'>This is string.</div>
?>

So how can I change my render function in myData class that it should get myview.phtml and place string between DIV tag(<div id='someid'></div>) and print.

Thanks

One possible solution could be to use Partial view helper. This helper can be used to " render a specified template within its own variable scope".

Specifically in myview.phtml you can add the following:

  <div id='someid'><?php echo $this->myText; ?></div>

Then, in the another phtml you could have:

<?php
$obj = new myData ();
echo $this->partial('path/to/myview.phtml',array('myText' => $obj->render()));
?>
