Question

In cakePHP 1.3 , when I try to get the variables GET sent on the url, I can use this :

$this->params['url'];

Example: url = www.mySite.com/messages/get/?var1=1&var2=2

the result of $this->params['url']; is :

Array => ( [url] => Array
    (
    [url] => messages/get
    [var1] => 1
    [var2] => 2
    )
)

But when I try to get those params from the same URL using cakePHP2.0, the result is in json format:

{"params":{"controller":"messages","named":[],"pass":[],"action":"index","plugin":null}}

There is no index ‘url’ in the array, so do you have any idea how to get those variables sent on the url that I posted using the attribute $params or something else?

EDIT :

i have tried this from the cookbook cakePHP2.0 :

<?php
// url is /posts/index?page=1&sort=title
$this->request->query['page'];

// You can also access it via array access
$this->request['url']['page'];

But i got the same Error :

Notice (8): Undefined index: page [APP\Controller\MessagesController.php, line 23]

Notice (8): Undefined index: page [APP\Controller\MessagesController.php, line 24]

Any ideas ??? how can i get the Variables sent on an url like this :

/posts/index?page=1&sort=title

Answer 1

There’s a new Request object in 2.0 that handles the query string among other things:

<?php
// url is /posts/index?page=1&sort=title
$this->request->query['page'];

// You can also access it via array access
$this->request['url']['page'];

From the 2.0 Request object docs.
