CakePHP: best way to call an action of another controller with array as parameter?

Submitted by Derick Ng on 2 October 2009 - 10:56am

In a controller, what is the most appropriate way to call the action of another controller and also pass an array as parameter?

I know that you can use requestAction to call actions within other controllers. But is it possible to pass arrays as parameters using request action?

And no, I do not want to put the action in the App Controller. So that is not a solution for me.

The only other way I know is to load the other controller as explained in:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/531/Importing-Controllers-Models-Components-Behaviors-

But is there an easier way to just call the other controllers action while passing an array as parameter?

I am new to cakePHP so any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.
