Before I even go on, here is what I have:
View:
http://bin.cakephp.org/view/404159005
Controller:
http://bin.cakephp.org/view/21698870
The idea that I'm trying to do is have a row of buttons spanning the
alphabet. The user clicks on the button and then it lists all of the
people with their last name starting with the specific letter. This is a
requirement, yes, I know, you can just type in 'R' and hit Enter and the
same thing will be done, no, this did not please powers-that-be. Moving
on...
I didn't want to create a function for _every_ button. That seemed painful
and just bad coding. I would like to call that method and then pass in a
value (in this case, a string of one length) and the method will perform a
specific function based on the input. I tried this line of code:
echo $this->Form->button($letter, array('action' => 'view_admit_lookup'));
I did some digging online:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1415/button
http://api.cakephp.org/file/cake/libs/view/helpers/form.php#method-FormHelperbutton
I couldn't find anything that would do this for me easily. Am I missing
something? Did I look into the wrong docs?
