Hey folks This is a very strange issue indeed, and at its root it is NOT related to this post that declares a similar symptom: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/840eaa08732904a1/6b214b69ad0980d4?lnk=gst&q=$_POST#6b214b69ad0980d4
I have a form in /users/view/. When I submit it and check $_POST and $this->data at the very beginning of AppController->beforeFilter(), the form data appears in the $_POST array but $this->data does not have any data. In fact, $this->data is not even set by Cake! The Auth component is removed from the $components list, so I know that Auth is not the culprit. I've also tried to test this form in different controllers/views, and I get the same problem. Pretty scary, huh? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the view code (I've also tried setting the form->create() first argument with a model of 'User' and used full Model.field dot notation for my inputs): --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?php echo $form->create(NULL, array( 'default' => true, 'inputDefaults' => array( 'label' => false, 'div' => false ) ) ); // default => onsubmit true/false ?> <?php echo $form->input('username', array('size'=> 20, 'maxlength' => 50)); ?> <?php echo $form->input('pw', array('type' => 'password', 'size'=> 20, 'maxlength' => 50)); ?> <?php echo $form->submit('Log In »', array('class' => 'submit', 'name' => 'submit', 'title' => 'Enter your username and password for access.', 'class' => 'button', 'escape' => false)); ?> <?php echo $form->end(); ?> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the app_controller: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- function beforeFilter() { pr(__CLASS__.'::'.__FUNCTION__.'()...'); pr('POST data: '); pr($_POST); if(isset($this->data)) { pr('this->data: '); pr($this->data); } else { pr('this->data not set!'); } // ... } --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the browser output: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AppController::beforeFilter()... POST data: Array ( [_method] => POST [data] => Array ( [User] => Array ( [username] => testuser [pw] => 12345 ) ) [submit] => Log In ยป ) this->data not set!
