Re: Accessing things in $this->request->data

It was indeed $this->request->data['Item']['category_id']

Thanks, just had a bit of a mind block!

Throw in a debug($this->request->data) to see what data you have.

Though it's likely:

$this->request->data['Item']['category_id']

or

$this->request->data('Item.category_id')

In my ItemsController I'm editing an item and then want to redirect back to the category that the item is in but I'm not sure how to access the category_id that is in $this->request->data

My controller function (edited down to the relevant lines only) is...


        public function admin_edit($id = null) {
                if ($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put')) {
                        if ($this-> Item->save($this->request->data)) {
                                $this->Session->setFlash(__('The Item has been saved'));
                                $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'categories', 'action' => 'view', *********));
                        }
                }
        }


Where I have ******* I need something like…

$this->request-> Item->category_id

...to pull the category_id out but I can't get the correct syntax to use

The category_id is in there as it is being saved with all the other item data.

I'm on CakePHP 2.3.x if that is relevant.
