Re: Saving session data from a view

Your view is there to produce HTML not manipulate data (other than to display them). The proper MVC way is to do it in the controller and just pass the required data to the view to render it.

I am using CakePHP 1.3.  I have a helper which prints out the navigation menus.  Depending on which top level menu is selected the appropriate sub menu is displayed.  I want to be able to know on the next page view which menu / sub menu was previously displayed.  I thought to accomplish this by writing a session variable from my helper.  However, I am getting the error that session data cannot be written from a view.  Can anyone suggest an alternative way of accomplishing this?

I don't really understand why, if I can read Session information in the view, am I not able to write Session information in a view.

Pointers to appropriate resources or hints and tricks would also be appreciated.

Thanks.
