i am very much new to cakephp. I have created a simple form with input controls on it as follows:
<?php
echo $this->Form->create();
echo $this->Form->input('name');
echo $this->Form->input('address', array('rows' => '3'));
echo $this->Form->input('aaa', array(
'type' => 'date',
'label' => 'select',
'before' => '--before--',
'after' => '--after--',
'between' => 'Date',
'separator' => '****',
'empty' => '--select--'
));
echo $this->Form->checkbox('subjects', array('value' => 'Java'));
?>
java
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('gen', array(
'type' => 'radio',
'options' => array('m', 'f')
));
echo $this->Form->input('file', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('listbox', array('options' => array(1,2,3,4,5), 'multiple' => 'multiple'));
echo $this->Form->end('Submit');
?>
i wish to print the values entered in these components on another page. how do i do that? i tried to do it with the help of session(which seems to be inappropriate) as follows:
public function contactus() {
if ($this->request->data!=null) {
$var=$this->request->data;
$this -> Session -> write('myvar', $this->request->data);
//$this->set($var, $this->request->data);
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'contactview'));
}
}
but it outputs array and i cant use session to store each component's value. how do i solve this?
Rather than using the session, I used this->data
and it was able to resolve my problem.
According to cakephp book (Form: http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/view/1384/Creating-Forms)
<?php
echo $this->Form->create(null,
array('url' => array('controller' => 'recipes', 'action' => 'add')));
?>
//Output:
<form method="post" action="/recipes/add">
Therefore , just change your create
function and add the url
option.
