Re: Undefined variable in view

You have to understand that the Pages controller is special! The Pages
controller uses the display method to show your "showscore" view,
which means that your "showscore" method in the Pages controller will
never be invoked.

You can see why the Pages controller uses the display method, as that
is the default route defined for the Pages controller in the CakePHP
book at:
http://book.cakephp.org/#Defining-Routes-948

So you have to move your method into another controller or make
another solution.
Enjoy,
John
