Question

Im wondering how I can set some variables in my controller, and then be able to access them in my model and a behaviour for that model.

I have tried the below, but with no luck:
in controller: $this->Model->data[‘foo’]=”bar”;
in behaviour: $Model->data[‘foo’];

Grateful for any help!

One way to pass data is through user-defined functions in your model.

For example,

$flag = $this->Model->checkIntegrity($this->data);

In the Model,

function checkIntegrity($data) {
    ...
}

You could also pass them in as a reference if you wish to make direct changes to the data:

function checkIntegrity(&$data) {
    ...
}
