requestAction

top

Calls a controller's method from any location. Can be used to connect controllers together or tie plugins into a main application. requestAction can be used to return rendered views or fetch the return value from controller actions.

Under the hood this method uses Router::reverse() to convert the $url parameter into a string URL. You should use URL formats that are compatible with Router::reverse()

Passing POST and GET data

POST and GET data can be simulated in requestAction. Use $extra['url'] for GET data. The $extra['data'] parameter allows POST data simulation.

Parameters:
  • mixed $url required

    String or array-based url. Unlike other url arrays in CakePHP, this url will not automatically handle passed and named arguments in the $url parameter.

  • array $extra optional array ( )

    if array includes the key "return" it sets the AutoRender to true. Can also be used to submit GET/POST data, and named/passed arguments.

Method defined in:
Cake/Core/Object.php on line 66
Return

mixed Boolean true or false on success/failure, or contents of rendered action if 'return' is set in $extra.

_set
