Instead of function showresult($yahoosearch = null)
use
function showresult(){
if(!empty($this->data) && isset($this->data['Yahoo']['yahoosearch]))
{
$yahoosearch = $this->data['Yahoo']['yahoosearch];
// do rest of searching code
} else {
// show input form
}
}
Basically anything POSTed to your controller will be in the $this-
>data array if you use the standard helper functions to create the
input fields.
