I was ruminating over the code while having dinner just now and
remembered something. I realised that set() does provide a way to
avoid Inflector having its way with one's var names:
00640 foreach ($data as $name => $value) {
00641 if ($name === 'title') {
00642 $this->pageTitle = $value;
00643 } else {
00644 if ($two === null && is_array($one)) {
00645 $this->viewVars[Inflector::variable($name)] = $value;
00646 } else {
00647 $this->viewVars[$name] = $value;
00648 }
00649 }
00650 }
I just needed to pass false as the second param. 3 cheers for
undocumented features!
