What are some alternative approaches to accessing Helper methods in PHP Views?

When working with PHP Views, accessing Helper methods can sometimes be tricky. One alternative approach is to pass the Helper object as a parameter to the View when rendering it. This way, the View has direct access to the Helper methods without needing to call them statically. 

// Helper class
class Helper {
    public function someMethod() {
        return "Hello from Helper!";
    }
}

// View class
class View {
    private $helper;

    public function __construct(Helper $helper) {
        $this->helper = $helper;
    }

    public function render() {
        echo $this->helper->someMethod();
    }
}

// Instantiate Helper and View
$helper = new Helper();
$view = new View($helper);

// Render the View
$view->render();
