How to pass variables to layout.phtml globally in ZF2?

Question

I want to pass a series of variables to my layout.phtml throughout the whole application(globally). And by that I mean I don\'t wanna use

$this->layout()-         


        

Answer 1

Why not use inheritance to abstract repeatable configuration via a base controller that sets the layout variables. Since reuse is the main concern here, basic OOP should suffice. Zend doesn't have to do everything :).
