Is it possible to access the controller variable from layout in yii2

Consider under my cpp\controllers\ I've 5 files like (AController.php, BController.php etc..)

Each controller has its own public variable like this.. 

AController.php   --- public $variable='Testing';
BController.php   --- public $variable='Bhuvanesh';

From my app\views\main.php

If A controller is called I need the value Testing. If B controller is called I need Bhuvanesh.

Its possible in yii2? Thanks in advance.

You should read Yii2 Views Guide :

within the view you can get the controller object by the expression $this->context

So, you should simply use this in your view :

$this->context->variable

You could use the __construct() magic method? this function gets executed right when the class is used. If you make something like 

public function __construct(){
    echo $this->var; //echo out whatever you want here.
}

That's how i would do it.

Why don't you create a getter method with same name?

class AController {
     public function getVariable() { return 'A'; }
}

class BController {
     public function getVariable() { return 'B'; }
}

class CController {
     public function getVariable() { return 'C'; }
}

Then you can call with

$controller->variable
