It should work, you have to set requestaction equal to a variable if
you want the returned output, this is how I use it:
$results = $this->requestAction('/controller/method');
Also, make sure that your method ends with:
return($datayouwanttoreturn);
You can also define the function in your method and setup a relation
in your model (or at least a Uses relation). This is probably the
better solution if you don't want the user to have direct access to
the method your are calling (with request action, the user could put
the path directly in the address bar and use it). When you have this
relation setup you call the method like this:
$results = $this->WhateverYourModelIs->WhateverTheModelYourCallingIs-
>thefunctionyouwanttocall($passeddata);
