I've been searching for the best way to do this for a while and I
agree with Martin now. I really wish cake had a more elegant solution,
but this one is definitely the cleanest and fastest.
Just so it's out there, I extended this idea to take care of the
entire query string (what cake calls params['pass']). I don't know if
my code is the best since this is my first cake project ever but it
definitely works well.
function searchParse() {
$paramString ='';
// Cycle through each param
foreach($this->params['url'] as $arg => $val) {
// Make sure we skip url
if($arg !== 'url')
$paramString .= '/'.$arg.':'.$val;
}
// Redirect to the search action with all the named params
$this->redirect('search'.$paramString);
}
