Acts as an object wrapper for HTML pages with embedded PHP, called "views". Variables can be assigned with the view object and referenced locally within the view.
Class declared in SYSPATH/classes/view.php on line 3.
array(0) Sets the initial view filename and local data. Views should almost always only be created using View::factory.
$view = new View($file);

$this->_data = $data + $this->_data;
}
}Magic method, searches for the given variable and returns its value. Local variables will be returned before global variables.
$value = $view->foo;
If the variable has not yet been set, an exception will be thrown.

}

}Magic method, determines if a variable is set.
isset($view->foo);
NULL variables are not considered to be set by isset.

return (isset($this->_data[$key]) OR isset(View::$_global_data[$key]));
}Magic method, calls View::set with the same parameters.

}Magic method, unsets a given variable.

}Assigns a value by reference. The benefit of binding is that values can be altered without re-setting them. It is also possible to bind variables before they have values. Assigned values will be available as a variable within the view file:
// This reference can be accessed as $ref within the view
$view->bind('ref', $bar);
string

$value

{
$this->_data[$key] =& $value;
return $this;
}Assigns a global variable by reference, similar to View::bind, except that the variable will be accessible to all views.
View::bind_global($key, $value);

}Returns a new View object. If you do not define the "file" parameter, you must call View::set_filename.
$view = View::factory($file);
string
$file
= NULL - View filenamearray
$data
= NULL - Array of valuesViewpublic static function factory($file = NULL, array $data = NULL)
{
return new View($file, $data);
}Renders the view object to a string. Global and local data are merged and extracted to create local variables within the view file.
$output = $view->render();
Global variables with the same key name as local variables will be overwritten by the local variable.

$file

{
if ($file !== NULL)
{
$this->set_filename($file);
}
if (empty($this->_file))
{
throw new Kohana_View_Exception('You must set the file to use within your view before rendering');
}
// Combine local and global data and capture the output
return View::capture($this->_file, $this->_data);
}Assigns a variable by name. Assigned values will be available as a variable within the view file:
// This value can be accessed as $foo within the view
$view->set('foo', 'my value');
You can also use an array to set several values at once:
// Create the values $food and $beverage in the view
$view->set(array('food' => 'bread', 'beverage' => 'water'));

{
$this->_data[$name] = $value;
}
}

{
$this->_data[$key] = $value;
}
return $this;
}Sets the view filename.

{

':file' => $file,
));
}
// Store the file path locally
$this->_file = $path;
return $this;
}Sets a global variable, similar to View::set, except that the variable will be accessible to all views.
View::set_global($name, $value);

}

}Captures the output that is generated when a view is included. The view data will be extracted to make local variables. This method is static to prevent object scope resolution.
$output = View::capture($file, $data);
