Hi everybody I have 2 models (User,Comp) and 2 Controllers (users_controller,comps_controller).Users & Comps table have no relationship.They are independent of one another.Now i have a login View where there are four things {1} Input box for Username, {2} Input box for Password , {3} Select box for installed Company Names and {4} a submit button.
Now, Login View is generated from login action in the users_controllers.php::::>> var $name='Users'; var $helpers = array('Html','Form'); var $uses = array('User','Comp'); /*--Name of the Model this Controller uses--*/ function index() { $this->layout='default_admin'; } function login() { /*--------Name of the layout it uses----------------------------------bgn*/ $this->layout = 'default'; /*--Name of the layout it uses from the directory app/views/layouts--*/ / *-------------------------------------------------------------------- end*/ /*--------*/ //Call Comp Model using loadModel() $this->loadModel('Comp'); $cNames = $this->Comp->find('list',array('fields'=> array('Comp.comp_name'))); //$cNames = $this->Comp->query("SELECT comps.comp_name FROM comps"); $this->set('compNames',$cNames); //redirect user if already logged in if ($this->Session->check('User')) { $this->redirect(array('action'=>'index')); } if (empty($this->data) == false) { //set the form data to enable Input data validation $this->User->set($this->data); //see if the input data validates if($this->User->validates()) { //check the user is valid $result = $this->User->check_user_data($this->data); if($result !== false) { //save to session $this->Session->write('User',$result); /*--'User' name of the session--*/ //show message //$this->Session->setFlash('You have successfully logged in'); //redirect to appropriate page $this->redirect(array('action'=>'index')); } else { $this->Session->setFlash('Either your Username or Password is incorrect'); } } } } Username and Password are from User model but Company name is from Comp model.Now i want to create a session variable and in there i want to store the Company name selectd from the select box.Now, my problem is how do i access the value of Select box in the controller so that i could put it in a session variable under the following given circumstances.Please advise Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
