Using redirect to call another controller function

[eluser]Lane[/eluser]
I've been searching and so far I'm not sure if there is a way, but here's my situation:

I have a function that loads a view in one controller. When the view submits, I need to call a function in another controller and pass 2 variables to that function.

If I do something like this:

Code:

redirect("patients/details/".$ptype."/".$pid."/", "refresh");

The receiving function accepts 2 variables like this:

Code:

public function Details($type, $id)

My question is this: Will the receiving function associate the encoded URI with the variables in the function call?

If not, is there a better way to do this?


Thanks much in advance.

use a library and call the function from both controllers is another way.

you can do a redirect if you want to, that code should also work. really depends a lot more on your overall app structure

EDIT: just reread. "When the view submits, I need to call a function in another controller and pass 2 variables to that function."

Why don't you just submit the form to the second controller function?
