Hi Arnold

I don't recall exactly how forward works in JSP but I think the closest
thing we have in PHP is 'include'. I know it sounds different but I
think the end result is more or less the same.

Perhaps the ActionView class does something something like:

include "$path_to_views/$required_view" . '.php';

Maybe JSP's forward does something tidy in terms of variable scope. I
don't know.

Your understanding is correct.
