pass date as paramater in view

Hi,

How do I pass the date field below entered as a parameter so I can search the date?

echo $this->Form->input(
    'custom date',
    array(
        'type' => 'date',
        'selected' => array(
            'year'=>date('Y')
        ),
        'minYear' => date('Y') ,
        'maxYear' => date('Y') +1
    )
);

          echo  $this->Html->link($this->Html->tag('i', '', array('class' => 'icon-book','title'=>'Report')).'Custom Range', array(
         'controller' => 'lessons',  'action' => 'dashboard4'     ),array('escape'=>false,'class' => 'btn btn-small'));
