Re: retrieve value of a "select" in the controller

Easiest way to check is load the page, view the source and see what
the element uses

ak form name="data[site][site_id] then use that to figure out what is
sent to $this->data

The other solution is throw

debug($this->data); in your controller to see whats in it.

Good luck
