I have tried to pass a value from controller to layout using this but it does not work:

foreach ($user_info_details as $details):
    $first_name = $details['first_name'];
endforeach;
Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->assign('first_name',$first_name);

and retrieve it using 

<?php echo $this->layout()->first_name; ?>

but it shows blank in every case

To output values to your view easily, in your controller use:

$this->view->first_name = $first_name;

And in your view, access it like this:

echo $this->first_name;
