They are really easy: http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/helpers (Section 2, all the way at the bottom) Basically you create a file in the helpers directory called common.php and then inside it define your class: Now in your view you can call your function like myFunc($data); ?>. Just make sure you include the helper inside your controller or AppController. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Include PHP code in view
Thanks for the reply Joel. As usual just after I posted this tried
something else and got this working. I was placing the 'vendor();'
call at the bottom of the index.thtml file. As I replaced the original
function with it. I've found if I place the vendor() call before the
function is needed it works fine. Strange PHP.
As for the comment on the no business logic in the View I agree. But
then again I never actually stated what this function I'm including
does. It's not business logic. It's just code to help build the radio
buttons sets since each form (a Questionnaire) has 80+ questions. It's
similar to the built-in Cake function for building say an input field.
But for my case I need to wrap some HTML code around each question and
Yes/No radio button set. It's easier to place this into a function to
build the view output then manually for each of the questions.

Re: Include PHP code in view
You can paste some code into bootstrap.php, which then makes your
function available everywhere. You should never include business/
controller logic into a view; that's just bad practice.
Well, putting code in the bootstrap.php file is also not very MVC-
pattern compliant, but sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do.

Include PHP code in view
Hello all,
I'm having a but of an issue. I have two forms. But are simple and
submit to discrete backend controllers. Both have their own set of
views (add, edit, index). Each submit into respective tables in the
database. I'm running cake 1.1.xxx (The current stable release).
So here is my issue. I'm try to just include a common function that is
used in each of the index.thtml files. I've tried a traditional PHP
include. Placed the php file under the site root and tried including
the path and filename. Something I would do under a normal PHP
environment.
The included file will load without issues. Meaning if I use require()
no error is reported. The problem is the function that is inside the
included file is not loaded.
I've read through the other message and have tried the app/vendors and
calling the include file via vendor('filename'); without much luck.
What am I missing here? The function runs fine when I place it
directly into the index.thtml files(s). My problem is I really don't
want to have this in 2 different places. It's the same code. Also I
would put this in the controller but again it would need to be in both
controllers. Does not seem efficient to me.
