What are some potential pitfalls to be aware of when using View Helper in PHP?
One potential pitfall when using View Helper in PHP is the risk of code duplication if the same helper function is used in multiple views. To avoid this, consider creating a centralized helper class or file that can be included in all views to prevent redundancy.
// Centralized View Helper Class
class ViewHelper {
public static function formatCurrency($amount) {
return '$' . number_format($amount, 2);
}
}
// Include the helper class in your views
require_once 'ViewHelper.php';
// Usage in view
echo ViewHelper::formatCurrency(100);
