As far as I know, you cannot send information to the Controller from your view script, since the view(s) are rendered after all the controller->actions are called.

Advice from me would be to not do any logic in your view scripts especially if it would alter the execution of the controller. This would mean that you can place this logic in the controller itself.

The example with the session will not work, because as explained above, the view script executes after the controller, therefore if you set something in the session from the view script, the controller wouldn't "know" about it.

Hope this helps
