A custom view helper should get you what you want in this case.

Start here:

Writing Custom Helpers
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.helpers.html#zend.view.helpers.custom

In order to access your view helper, you'll need to register it. You can do
this by:

1 - Use application.ini with the view resource
resources.view.helperPath.My_Namespace_Prefix =
"path/to/my/namespace/prefix"

or

2 - Register the helper path via the Bootstrap:
$view->addHelperPath(...);

or

3 - $view->registerHelper(new classNameOfHelper(), 'nameOfHelper');

Those are in order of preference (#3 being the least preferable). #1 and #2
benefit from lazy loading.
