New Controller::set() behavior - Changeset 5231

[Felix Geisendörfer]

Hey folks,

ok, this change has been made a long time ago (6 months ...), but for some reason I just noticed it now (and the impact it had on my app).

If you use Controller->set('a', 'b') you're fine.

If you use Controller->set($data); you might be in trouble.

Since: https://trac.cakephp.org/changeset/5231 underscored variables passed in the set($one) format will be caramelized. This means:

Controller->set(array('my_var' => 'my val'));

Will not set your variable as $my_var in the view, but as $myVar! Not sure why this is the case, but keep it in mind when you use the 1 parameter syntax : ).

HTH,
-- Felix

Mmmm, caramelized variables :)

You can avoid this by passing anything as the second parameter, so:

$this->set( array('my_var'=>'my val'), false );

will come through to your view as $my_var, not $myVar.

Hey,

Mmmm, caramelized variables :)

I should open a ticket to call the function 'caramelize'. Its <Cake>PHP after all, isn't it? : )

You can avoid this by passing anything as the second parameter, so:

True. I just said I didn't expect the new default behavior ; ).
