I have to agree $this->Helper. It makes more sense when reading your code that you're referencing a Helper Class and not a local variable you have set somewhere else in your code. Also i quite often have for loops where i'm building up a html string for output and $html would be the logical variable name but then you get the clash.
So i hope Cake Devs intend to remove $html etc in 2.0, On Jan 21, 3:20 pm, euromark <dereurom...@googlemail.com> wrote: > of course 100% > $this->Helper > > a) cleaner > b) fit for 2.0 > > :) > > On 21 Jan., 15:53, connrs <shu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi guys > > > I suppose this is my first ever post on any CakePHP related forum/group so > > get the unicorns and badger porn out.
