actually its the other way around it used to be $html and NOW is $this->Html (cake >=1.3) and yes, there are plenty reasons why this is now a view object (and not just an object variable)
it is a bad idea to want to go back to the old syntax and your argument is bad: For the sake of simplicity $this->Html makes more sense (no collisions in the view anymore) hope that clears things up On 12 Nov., 11:42, psybear83 <psybea...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi everybody > > For the sake of simplicity I'd like to make my helpers available in my > views not as $this->Helper but as $helper using the set(...) method in > the controller. > > Is there any reason why this could be a bad idea?
