So I need to pass some data thru an variable but I cant get it to work.
I have a view file where I want to define a value, and I have a controller file where I need this value.
When I define the value in the config file it will work, but as this value is dynamic I cannot set it in the config file.
main.php
Yii::$app->params['somevalue'] = 'hello world';
sitecontroller.php
echo Yii::$app->params['somevalue']; //not outputing any value
i think, your value replaced by configuration, like this
// main.php
$params = array_merge(
require(__DIR__ . '/../../common/config/params.php'),
require(__DIR__ . '/../../common/config/params-local.php'),
require(__DIR__ . '/params.php'),
require(__DIR__ . '/params-local.php')
);
return [
.
.
.
'params' => $params,
.
.
.
];
You can set params value on params.php file
Because controller code executes earlier than view code.
Use <form> inputs.
