Re: [phpXperts] Cakephp Controller method

You can use $uses variable to your controller for getting another controller and it's functions.

the code will be like --

class ProfilesController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Profiles';
var $uses = array('Profile','Address');

function viewprofile(){

echo $this->Address->view();

}
}

On $uses variable you must have to define both the model names of current controller and another controller.

hi milan_018.

you can use Controller:: requestAction( ) method for this. take a look at the doc here http://book. cakephp.org/ view/434/ requestAction
but as the doc says if used without caching requestAction can lead to poor performance. it is rarely appropriate to use in a controller or model.

i would suggest you to create a component and reuse it across your controllers.

thanks.

Hello experts,
I am in need to get your helps.

Can you tell me "how to call a controller method/action from another controller in cakephp?"

For example i am in "viewprofile" action of the controller named "ProfilesController". Now from this controller i need to call "view" method of the controller "AddressesController".

How to do that ?
