Question

Hello, my code is not working in CakePHP framework and it is showing an error message.

URL:

http://domainname.com/About/param1/param2

Code:

class AboutController extends AppController {

    public $name = 'About';
    public $helpers = array('Html');

    public function index($arg1, $arg2)
    {
        print_r($this->request->params['pass']);
        $this->set('title_for_layout','Sarasavi Bookshop - About Sarasavi Bookshop');
        $this->set('nameforfiles','about');
    }
}

Error message:

Missing Method in AboutController    
Error: The action param1 is not defined in controller AboutController
Error: Create AboutController::param1() in file: app\Controller\AboutController.php.

<?php
class AboutController extends AppController {


    public function param1() {

    }

}

Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app\View\Errors\missing_action.ctp

After creating the function param1 I can get param2, But I need to get param1 and param2 both, in index function without create another action.

Please help me,
Thanks

Your original code would work if you went to http://domainname.com/About/index/param1/param2

If you don’t want the index in the url, as I assume you don’t, then you need to define a route.

Add this to your routes:

Router::connect(
    '/About/*',
    array('controller' => 'About', 'action' => 'index')
);

to automatically route requests that don’t specify an action but do have params to go to your index action. You will need to add a route for any new About actions to stop requests for them from going to index by default though.
