Passing data from CakePHP component to a helper

Question

I need to share data between a component and helper. I\'m converting my self-made payment service formdata generator to a CakePHP plugin and I\'d like to be able to fill in

In addition to what @Vanja, you can also do this just prior to instantiating a new view in your controller:

// In your controller method
// must be set prior to instantiating view
$this->helpers['YourHelperName']['paramsOrAnyName'] = ['var' => $passed_var];

$_newView = new View($this);
$return_result = $_newView->render($element_to_view, $layout);
