Is it necessary to have a view file with every controller action

Question

Whenever I create a new action in the zend framework controller using the zf CLI tool it creates the corresponding view file. However, I don\'t need the view file for every acti

Answer 1

No you don't need to.

Been a while since i worked with Zend Framework. But if memory serves me well, you have two options here.

1 - $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true); Which will stop the view being rendered

2- You can simply do what you need to do and call exit() in the end of the of your action.

Hope it helps.
