Re: accessing formdata in controller?

Did you read the link about redirect?

step 4 should be decide what controller to send it to based on the
data posted to your controller and use the redirect method to show
what controller/view you want to show, while passing any data you need
to to it.

if($action == "TimeReport")
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'user', 'action' =>
'timereport'), $data);
