Question

onto the next question about cakePHP 🙂

In php, I am able to simulate a form submit by for example browsing to a url like

<a href="index.php?click=yes&ip=127.0.0.1">submit youre ip</a>

this would submit the form on index.php with the values of click being yes and ip being 127.0.0.1 without having to click a submit form.

How would I achieve the same thing in CakePHP?

Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Answer 1

You would need to setup an index action in a controller.

An example:

If you want to add an user with the above data, you can do the following:

class UsersController extends AppController {

    function add($click, $ip) {

    $this->User->set(array('click' => $click, 'ipaddress' => $ip);
    $this->User->save();

     }

}

Now if you go to http://localhost/users/add/yes/127.0.0.1 it should save the data…
