Is it possible to forward data from one controller action to other before the render? Basically, I want to now if we have something that Zend _forward does?
Here is my scenario. I have a payment gateway that returns data back to my controller action, what I want is to handle data on separate controller/action but render the home page (without redirection). Is it possible to forward control from one controller/action to other ?
Can anybody suggest me can I go for ?
As far as I know Yii 1 had forward method in controller that allowed you to forward to different controller/action with simply:
$this->forward("new_controller/new_action");
I'm sure something similar could be working in Yii2 too.
In Yii 2, you can use this which yields the same result of forward():
Yii::$app->runAction('new_controller/new_action', ['param1'=>'value1', 'param2'=>'value2']);
