Re: Use function in controller AND view

That's why we refactored the whole thing into a lib class:

https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/master/lib/Cake/Utility/CakeNumber.php

App::uses('CakeNumber', 'Utility');

$formattedNumber = CakeNumber::currency($value, $currency);

It is documented quite thorougly, by the way:

http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-utility-libraries/number.html#CakeNumber::currency

Hi

Ive a function which converts a number to currency value (e.g. 10 -> 10,00 EUR).

So far I have a custom "TextHelper" with that method within (becuase its view related).

The problem is, now I need this (exactly same) method in a controller (for generating a flash message). Of course I could place this as a simple function in bootstrap.php (and use it in both, controller and view), but as far as I remember this is bad practice. Bad practice too is to clone this functionality in a component for DRY reasons.

So whats the best practice for such a case?

Thanks,

Frank
