Although it’s more convenient, I’ve always used $this->set(’varname’=>’varvalue’); For me it’s more clear.

the approach proposed from taylor luk - ya, it could do the job, but it is so complicated :)

$this->set(’underscoredwords’, ‘ok’);

$this->set(array( ‘underscoredwords’ => ‘ok’, ‘cakestoprewritemyvars’ => ‘true ), false)

$this->set(compact(’underscoredwords’), false);

hope this help

@Jad: I think it would make more sense to make all vars have their names pimped by Inflector::variable();

For instance, if you create a controller called myController, and name your view myController.ctp, you'll get a file not found error. You have to name the view my_controller.ctp. It seems to be a convention in cake.</p> I think they intend for things to work that way (I’m not sure why).

@klevo: if that’s the case, then it should check if a model with that name exists first, no? would make more sense if you ask me.

@dave: i have a hard time changing my coding conventions to work around something that is not functioning correctly ;)

So your $foo_bar will be $fooBar. Camel cased variables are Cake's coding standart and this is probably done with the intention when putting a data array from the Model::find() operation to set().</p> If you feed the set function with an array, the underscored words get camelCased.
