I looked at routing, but I did not see a way to solve my problem.
I am looking for a way to create links to controller/actions and pass "large"
or 'hidden' parameters.
I could use a from and post, but seems like a lot of work for 1 or 2 links in a
view.
I understand the simple link call with 1 parameter.
echo $html->link('View Post', array('controller' => 'posts', 'action' =>
'view', 5));
But, how can I pass large strings like
$largestring = "This is a large string that could be over 255 characters
long and might contain html special characters";
echo $html->link('Update Post', array('controller' => 'posts', 'action'
=> 'update', $largestring));
or
$hidden = "password"; // or a variable I don't want to show in URL.
echo $html->link('Unlock Safe', array('controller' => 'safes', 'action'
=> 'unlock', $hidden));
Is the only option to make these views forms and make these buttons, so I can
parse passed in variables using request->data?
Thanks,
Bill
