Question

On CakePHP we can get ALL POST/GET using

$this->params

On Yii, I am not sure if it has a equivalent. Only saw if I want to get one field value regardless if (POST/GET), but I need to specify it.

Yii::app()->request->getParam('email')

In Yii it’s perfectly fine to use $_REQUEST , $_POST , $_GET directly.

What getParam really does is use those arrays directly anyway, but with the difference that if the param doesn’t exist it returns null by default, or a value that you specify as the second argument to the getParam call:

Source:

public function getParam($name,$defaultValue=null)
{
    return isset($_GET[$name]) ? $_GET[$name] : (isset($_POST[$name]) ? $_POST[$name] : $defaultValue);
}
