How to include ControllerAction in a View Script?

Hello,

I'm stuck to this problem quite a while now. How to include a complete Controller Action and the associated view script into another view script?

controllers/TestController.php:

PHP Code:


			

class TestController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
 [...]
 public function selectAction()
    {
         $this->view->title = "Yes.";
    }

views/scripts/test/select.phtml:

PHP Code:


			

Does it work? <?php echo $this->title; ?><br>

views/scripts/index/index.phtml:

PHP Code:


			

This is the normal index output.<br>
And now the output from TestController.selectAction:
<?php 
  ? how to include the TestController::selectAction output ?
?>

I don't want to include just the rendering of the view (which could be done via $this->view->render('Test/select.phtml') ) - but first the assignment via the TestController.selectAction.

The output should look like this (assumed above example is working):

HTML Code:

This is the normal index output.
And now the output from TestController.selectAction: Does it work? Yes.

Is this possible?

Regards,
Dennis

The 'dirty' solution could be to do a http-request to /test/select in the index controller. Put the response in a variable ($this->view->selectOutput) and use this in your index.phtml.

That is wat I was thinking. It seems to be easy to do, but maybe not so 'nice'.

Do a forum search for Zend_View_Enhanced. It contains a helper that lets you do what you are asking for.
