Action View Helper

Action View Helper The Action view helper enables view scripts to dispatch a given controller action; the result of the response object following the dispatch is then returned. These can be used when a particular action could generate re-usable content or "widget-ized" content. Actions that result in a _forward() or redirect are considered invalid, and will return an empty string. The API for the Action view helper follows that of most MVC components that invoke controller actions:

action($action,
            $controller, $module = null, array $params = array())

. $action and $controller are required; if no module is specified, the default module is assumed. Basic Usage of Action View Helper As an example, you may have a CommentController with a listAction() method you wish to invoke in order to pull a list of comments for the current request:

action('list', 'comment', null, array('count' => 10)); ?>
