Re: Controller function parameter is lost

Hi,

Sorry, but it didn't work.

This is what i did (following your example):
<?php echo $form->create('User', array('url' => array('action' => 'changePassword', $form->value('User.id')))); ?>

And this was the generated html:
<form id="UserEditForm" method="post" action="/users/changePassword/3/3"><fieldset style="display:none;"><input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT" />

Actually I had already tried something similar (hardcoding the parameter) and had seen that generated <form> tag (functionName/id/id).

The Form Helper is actually creating the <form> tag correctly. The problem is when submitting the generated form.

If I simply code echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'changePassword')); the Form Helper correctly generates the <form> tag (adding the parameter at the end).

The problem is when submitting the generated form.
