Get and post in cakephp

Question

In Codeigniter I do this

$p=$this->input->post();

to get all objects posted but I don't know if there is something similar in cakephp to get all posted variables from a form ? I am writing a function to get posted password and save it into database in place of the old password recorded there.

I use native php to get 'posted' variables from a form, (I am not familiar with cakephp form usage) that is why, so instead of using $_POST['sssss'] what should I do now ?

Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

$value = $this->request->data('key');

Please for further reference, read the manual. It's so much easier and better for yourself to figure it out by yourself.

This is wrong, data is an array. $value = $this->request->data['key']; would be right. – Dependable

Please read the manual, it states: You can either directly access the data property, or you can use CakeRequest::data() to read the data array in an error free manner. Any keys that do not exist will return null: – Perceptual

Answer 2

 for the GET method 
 $this->request->query['category-name'];

 and POST method 
 $this->request->data

You can check if posted a form by using

if (!empty($this->data)) {
  print_r($this->data);
}

Answer 4

The Post data must be in data to show up in $this->request->data.

Example:

// input field
<input type="text" name="data[foo]" value="bar" />

// in your controller
debug($this->request->data);

If you want to get a specific field of the table can move so:

if($this->data["Objetorastreavel"]["id"]){
}

It checks only the ID Objetorestraeval if you want to pick only one field and not post the whole page.
