controller is working fine me. how to call controller variable to phtml file

Answer 1

you can pass variable from controller like

$this->getLayout()->getBlock('block.name')->assign('somestring', $variable)

and in phtml you can simply use like

<?php echo $variable ?>

Answer 2

You can do it by Mage registry :

Mage::register('custom_value', $monthly_budget);

and then get it in phtml :

$monthly_budget = Mage::registry('custom_value');

Another way using session :

In controller set value:

Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->setYourDataVal($data);

In phtml get Value:

$data = Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getYourDataVal(); 

Answer 3

You can set variable to block and use that block to phtml file and get attribute value

Use below code in controller file:

$this->getLayout()->createBlock("modulename/blockname")->setYourattribute($value);

Use below code in template file:

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock("modulename/blockname")->getYourattribute();
