Re: How to pass id through a form to another controller and view form

Thanks for the reply but thats not what Im looking for really. 

Perhaps you don't understand what I'm trying to achieve. I want to add a gallery, so I have three fields in this table as follows: 

Gallery Table

ID | Gallery_name | Caption

I then have an images table which is related to the gallery table this is the structure :

Images Table

ID | gallery_id | gallery_name | caption 

What I want to do is get the galleryid to be inserted into the images table, through a form, which you can see above once a gallery is added it redirects to images/add, I want to get the last inserted id into the form in the images/add form so that I am able to call on the related ones 

Any help would be appreciated greatly 

Thanks

Hi Im trying to create an image gallery with CakePHP 2.1, I'm having a little bit of trouble with the complexity of the task. 

I have two tables, Galleries and the other Images. My galleries controller is like this...

<?php

class GalleriesController extends AppController {

public $name = 'Galleries';

function add() {

if($this->request->is('post')) {

if($this->Gallery->save($this->request->data)) {

$this->Session->setFlash('Your gallery has been saved. You may upload pictures to this gallery');

$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'images','action' => 'add'));

} else {

$this->Session->setFlash('Unable to add your gallery.');

}}}}?>

Once I get redirect to the images/add I want the form to have the id of the gallery as well as the name of the gallery within this form. 

How do I go about achieving this?? Anyone have any ideas?

This is what I have for my view in images/add, however this is not working 

<div class="maincontent">

<?php echo $this->Form->create('Image', array('controller'=>'Images','action'=>'add','type' => 'file', 'class'=>'uploadfrm'));?>

<fieldset class='registerf'>

  <legend class='registerf2'>Upload a Picture for gallery</legend>

<?php

echo '<br/>';

echo '<br/>';

echo $this->Form->input('galleryid', array('between'=>'<br />', 'class' => 'input', 'value' => $this->Gallery->id));

echo $this->Form->input('gallery_name', array('between'=>'<br />', 'class'=>'input', 'value' => $galleries['galleryname']));

echo $this->Form->input('caption', array('between'=>'<br />', 'rows'=> '7', 'cols'=> '60', 'class'=>'input'));

echo $this->Form->input('team_relating', array('between'=>'<br />', 'class'=>'input'));

echo $this->Form->input('team_relating_two', array('between'=>'<br />', 'class'=>'input'));

echo $this->Form->input('league', array(

    'options' => array('premiership', 'laliga','seriea','championsleague'),

    'empty' => '(choose one)'

));

echo $this->Form->input('file', array('type' => 'file'));

echo "<br/>";

?>

<?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Upload Photo', true));?>

</fieldset>

</div>

This is also my controller for the Images

<?php

class ImagesController extends AppController {

function add() {

if($this->request->is('post')){

$file = $this->request->data['Image']['file'];

if($this->Image->save($this->data) && move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'],APP.'webroot/files/galleries'.DS.$this->Image->id.'.jpeg'))

{

$this->Session->setFlash('<p class="uploadflash">The upload has been saved</p>', true);

$this->redirect(array('controller'=>'Images', 'action' => 'add'));

} else {

$this->Session->setFlash('<p class="loginerror">The upload could not be saved, jpeg files can be processed only.</p>', true);

}}

$galleries = $this->Image->Gallery->find('list');

$this->set(compact('galleries'));

}}

?>

Would appreciate any help!!

Thanks!
