Pass data between functions - El Forum - 07-31-2007

Can anybody tell me how I can pass data between controllers quickly and efficiently?
I have two controllers. Controller A displays a form and validates the data. I want controller A to redirect the page and pass the form data to controller B.
I dont really want to pass the data through the URI, but will if there is no other way.
Anybody got any suggestions?
Cheers.

store in db or session.

Why would you want to transfer data from Controller to Controller - the point of the Controller is so all of your work with a particular set of data is stored within one location.
For example, a controller named users. It would have everything to do with users: register, login, logout, profiles - that is it's purpose.
Regardless, if you really wanted to do it (and break the MVC model) - store it in a DB or session.

Oh that's easy then - to call a function from another function just call it as such:
Code:
function get_name() {
$a = 'bob';
$str = $this->say_hi($a);
return $str;
}
function say_hi($name) {
return 'Hello, ' . $name;
