Sending post data? - El Forum - 02-13-2008

Hi!
I was trying to figure out which way is the best to send post data to a controller from a link?
For example, when I click in a "Search all post by user XXX" and it takes me to a search results page.
I've thought of Javascript, but it's somehow a "tricky" solution.
Cheers!

I don't think you want to send post data using a $_GET request
I think you want to build a link that gets the data: http://site.com/user/1/posts or http://site.com/posts/user/1. take a look at the forum links for inspiration (my forum posts).

xwero, as fast as always!
Yep, I want to do a search from a link. I've done a function...
Code:
class Search extends Controller {
function redirect($controller = 'of', $field = '', $value = '')
{
//"magic unexistent function"
redirect_to($controller, $field, $value);
}
}I could code some Javascript, but as I've said, it's not 'clean' enough.
The forum is a good example, as well.

I'm not sure why you want to redirect your search?
If you have input fields you want to send along with the link you are better of with a form than you can send whatever you want.

Save it to the session, then redirect.

Hey, that's a good idea... I'll have to modify some of the code, but it's ok.
Thanks!
