Where is my mistake? I am getting empty window.
I want to display variable "theTime" from controller.php in the view.php:
protected\controllers\SomeController.php
class SomeController extends Controller
{
public function actionHelloWorld()
{
$theTime = date("D M j G:i:s T Y");
$this->render('helloWorld');
}
... }
protected\views\some\helloWorld.php
...
<?php echo $this->actionHelloWorld()->theTime; ?>
...
Any controller property can be accessed by $this, so in Your case u need: $this->theTime;.
But U should set this var in controller and just populate it in your action:
class SomeController extends Controller
{
$theTime;
public function actionHelloWorld()
{
$this->theTime = date("D M j G:i:s T Y");
$this->render('helloWorld');
}
… }
Then in veiew file U can do : $this->theTime;
or U can leave controller action as it is, just change this:
$this->render(‘helloWorld’, [‘theTime’=>$theTime]);
Than in view file U can do $theTime
Looks like a endless loop: actionHelloWorld -> view helloWorld.php -> actionHelloWorld -> view helloWorld.php …
IN controller ::
$this->render(‘helloWorld’,array(“theTime”=>$theTime));
In View
echo $theTime;
Thanks.

If i use in protected\controllers\SomeController.php
class SomeController extends Controller
{
public function actionHelloWorld()
{
$this->theTime = date("D M j G:i:s T Y");
$this->render('helloWorld');
}
...
and in protected\views\some\helloWorld.php
<?php echo $this->theTime; ?>
i am getting the CException:
Property "MessageController.theTime" is not defined.

you have to declare a public property in your controller
<?php
class MessageController extends Controller
{
// like so
public $theTime;
... // rest of the code
}
Thanks for dragan.zivkovic and alirz23. Resuming the solution is:
protected\controllers\SomeController.php
class SomeController extends Controller
{
public $theTime;
public function actionHelloWorld()
{
$this->theTime= date("D M j G:i:s T Y");
$this->render('helloWorld');
}
....
protected\views\some\helloWorld.php
<?php echo $this->theTime; ?>
