CakePHP Ajax drop with multiple parameters

Hi all, I've searched the google group and unfortunately cant find any
info on this (or anywhere for that matter)..

I'm trying to send PHP variables over an ajax dropRemote request but
the action thats meant to be recieving the parameters is not picking
it up.

Basically I am trying to drag people that are trying to book a seat at
a dinner dance, you have a pool of names of your guests and you drop
them onto the table position, in turn i'm trying to get a hidden field
using a mix of id's from the given table position and the guest id.

The guest id is the same as the element.id from the dragged element.
The hidden field id is the id of the hidden form element that will
store the guests table position data.
Div Id is the div that will show the guests name

I'm trying to send the hidden field along with the dragged element id
in the ajax request but it wont work.. i've tried the following:

//First try:
echo $ajax->dropRemote($divId,null,array('url' => '/purchases/
addGuestToTable/',
'with'=>'{draggedid:element.id, hiddenField:'.$hiddenFieldId.'}',
'update'=>$divId));

//Second try:
echo $ajax->dropRemote($divId,null,array('url' => '/purchases/
addGuestToTable/'.$hiddenFieldId,
'with'=>'{draggedid:element.id}',
'update'=>$divId));

//Third try:
echo $ajax->dropRemote($divId,null,array('url' => '/purchases/
addGuestToTable/'?var1='.$hiddenFieldId,
'with'=>'{draggedid:element.id}',
'update'=>$divId));

I've tried a mix of combinations but it just doesnt want to send a php
variable over my parameters.. i'm using print_r($this->params) to see
what the methods getting as well but the only one it finds is
draggedid...

Can anyone help on this?

Kind regards,
Bailey
