Passing array to requestAction in CakePHP

Question

I have function

public myfunction($myArray) {
}

I need to pass array("cat", "dog") To action.

$output = $this->requestAction(
    array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'),
    array("cat","dog")
);

But this passes only cat to my controller action, dog wasn't passed.

I tried this:

$output = $this->requestAction(
    array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'),
    array("myArray" => array("cat","dog"))
);

But it didn't help. I checked cookbook but couldn't find relevant example. How can I fix this? Thank you

Solution 1

Try this code

$this->requestAction(
    array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'),
        array('pass' => array('dog','cat'))
            );

in Myfunction :

public myfunction() {
    pr($this->params->params['pass']);
}

Tell me if not working...

I need to pass an array to action. "return" is not an array?

[Abid Hussain]

try this echo $this->requestAction(array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'), array('return', 'param' => array("cat","dog"))));

cakephp which ver you have to use

[Abid Hussain]

requestAction(string $url, array $options) try this $option = array("cat","dog"); $this->requestAction(array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'), array(return),$option);

Last line didn't work. Also array("return"),$option didn't work

[Abid Hussain]

try this $option = array("cat","dog"); $this->requestAction(array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'), array(),$option);

[trante]

Nope :( Errors are: Warning (2): Missing argument Notice (8): Undefined variable: myArray

[Abid Hussain]

try this $option = array("cat","dog"); $this->requestAction(array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'), $option);

This was my first option. cat is passed but dog didn't passed.

[Abid Hussain]

try this $option = array("cat_dog"); $this->requestAction(array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'), $option); after then get $option array and explode it. $myArray = explode('_', your get variable); pr($myArray);
