Generally you'd have a specific function or class that is told which view template to load, and it loads it. $view->loadTemplate('userHome.html'); or the like. This limits the scope of the variables accessible in the view to variables you specifically assign to it ($view->userName = 'fred';). So you'll need to make that function/class.

For example if you have a user profile view, it could look like this:

<div class='profile'>
   <img src='<?php echo $avatar; ?>'>
   <h1><?php echo $username; ?></h1>
   <table>
      <tr><th>Registration date:</th><td><?php echo $regdate; ?></td></tr>
      <tr><th>Lastlogin:</th><td><?php echo $logindate; ?></td></tr>
      <tr><th>Topics created:</th><td><?php echo $topics; ?></td></tr>
   </table>
</div>

and your controller could declare the variables and then include this view in the output.

Basic idea to initialize your understanding :) if you want the view class to be more powerful, you need to develop it further.

view.php

<?php
class View {    
    function __construct($tpl) {
        include $tpl;
    }
}
?>

handler.php

<?php
class Handler {
    function __construct() {}
    function process($post) {
        echo $post;
    }
}
?>

bootstrap.php

<?php
require('view.php');
require('handle.php');

$view = new View('form.html');
$handler = new Handler();

if (isset($_POST['login'])) {
    $handler->process($_POST['username']);
}
?>

i think first understand the MVC in detail, then play with some existing frameworks, may be start with codeigniter, its simple to understand one get the details then create your own(if required!)

Views should not be classes, views should be pieces of PHP and HTML or any other format that you'd like to output, which can than be invoked by a controller.
