Function to send controller variable to view - php

Question

For the setting up of a small home framework, I want to send variables to the view, but I have to date find no solutions that works.
The code in question:
src/Controller/Controller.php
<?php
namespace App\Controller;
use App\Network\Request;
class Controller {
protected $viewPath = ROOT . VIEW;
protected $template = ROOT . TEMPLATE;
protected $layout = "default";
public function __construct()
{
$request = new Request();
$this->render($request->controller().'/'. $request->action());
}
public function layout($template) {
if($template != $this->layout) {
require $this->template . $template . '.php';
}
}
public function render($view) {
ob_start();
require $this->viewPath . '/' . str_replace('.', '/', $view). '.php';
$content = ob_get_clean();
require $this->template .$this->layout . '.php';
}
public function set($varname) {
extract($varname);
return $varname;
}
}
?>
app/Controller/PostsController.php
<?php
namespace App\Controller;
class PostsController extends Controller {
public function index() {
$posts = [
"id" => "1",
"ids" => "2"
];
$this->set(compact('posts'));
}
}
?>
Using the $this->set function in PostsController returns me Undefined variable: posts after an echo.
I also try to put ob_start and ob_get_clean in the set function but do not work either.
Namely, I do not want to include the function set in render, since I handle the view of the view dynamically (see __construct ()).
Another question:
How do I associate a View class with my views and thus use $this->method ().
Thank you

Your variables are only limited to function set scope. So you cannot see it in render function
Why won't you send array of values into the render function like that
public function render($view, array $params = []){
extract($params, EXTR_OVERWRITE);
ob_start();
require $this->viewPath . '/' . str_replace('.', '/', $view). '.php';
$content = ob_get_clean();
require $this->template .$this->layout . '.php';
}
then you call it like this
$this->render('hello', [
'name' => 'Mikołaj',
'surname' => 'Woźniak'
]);
