This should be an easy problem to resolve but I have been completely unable to pass a variable from my controller to my view. There was already a line of code that says:
$this->view->assign(compact('items', 'totalItems', 'locations'));
I originally tried adding a fourth variable to the list but I couldn't get that to work, so I eventually tried to just modify totalItems.
$totalItems = "82";
Now I would expect that I could get the value "82" in the corresponding view by using:
echo $this->totalItems;
Any ideas why this doesn't work? I've been working on this simple part of the project for two days :(
Thanks!
