Hi, Can I actually echo or print a variable in Controller? I noticed that I need to put it first in the View in order to print the variable. This is for testing purposes only such that I know what data/value is the variable contains.
below is the code that is not working class PollController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller {
public function indexAction()
{
echo "HELLO";
}You need to tell Phalcon\Mvc\View where to place the output generated in the controller on the current view:
<?php echo $this->view->getContent(); ?>Volt:
{{ content() }}@Phalcon what i mean is I don't want to use the Volt or the View for the printing... i want it to be printed directly in Controller is this possible?
die(var_dump($var));
class PollController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
$this->view->disable();
echo "HELLO";
}
}thank you guys :D
define yourself a helper function and conditionally disable output buffering:
/**
* Functional replacement for "echo $var" without the need to disable something or to die.
*/
function echof($var) {
echo $var;
ob_get_level() && ob_flush(); // flush output buffer if active
}
