Re: post form data from URL

Sorry, I'm still up in the air with this...

<?php echo Router::url($this->here, true); ?> echos
localhost/links/add/cakephp.org if I type
"localhost/links/add/cakephp.org" as the URL. How do I pass just
'cakephp.org' to the form?

To confuse things I got looking more at
http://book.cakephp.org/view/945/Routes-Configuration#Passing-parameters-to-action-949...

Perhaps this is good?:
function add() {
Router::url('links/add/:url',array('controller' => 'links',
'action' => 'add'), array('pass' => array('url')));
}

I'm still confused on how 'pass' 'url' to the form.

Thanks for the help so far.
Steve
