partial() and render() parameters? (v1.7.2)

[nphilliy]

I am currently forced to use zend framework 1.7.2

I have a problem with the partial function

$this->partial('template.html', array('arg1' => 'value1'));

This kind of does what i want but the variables that are available to the parent template are not in the partial template

I know that $this->render('template.html'); allows the variables to be exposed to the template but it accepts no parameters

what about if i want the variables to be exposed to my partial template AND need parameters to be passed in? Did they actually not put something like this in?

yeap i know the partial() method is meant to give a clean variable scope and blah blah blah, so if thats the case, how do I do what im asking?

Two ways:

 * Use render(), and make sure the variables are already in the view
   script scope, or assigned to the view. In terms of having them in the
   view script scope:

   <?php
   $arg1 = 'value1';
   echo $this->render('template1.phtml'); // template can now refer to $arg1

 * Pass in all view variables + locally scoped variables:

   <?php
   $vars = $this->getVars();
   $vars['arg1'] = 'value1';
   echo $this->partial('template1', $vars);

Don't you mean:

<?php
$this->arg1 = 'value1';
$this->render('template1.phtml');
?>

Render is a bit faster than partial, so if the scope bleed isn't a problem, I'd use render().
