I guess this could work. I just don't think of session variables as
    a way to pass parameters from one routine to another. 
    
    seems like there may be way for session info to get messed up
    between calls?

        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
