Question

I’m making jQuery Mobile app with Cake 2.0 but having trouble submitting a form to the controller actions.

It seems like form is submitting but I’m not getting any results when I do debug($this->request->data).

Is this because it’s submitting as AJAX? If so, how can I solve it so that I can receive form inputs to my controller and return them?

Answer 1

debug should show the data and its not dependent on request type, you need to have appropriate value in your Config/Core.php like:

Configure::write('debug', 2); // in your Core.php file

//then in your Controller's some function
$this->layout = "ajax";
if($this->request->is("ajax")) {
   debug($this->request->data); // should display all your request data
}

Hope it helps
