Hi, Yes you can simply use "echo" inside your controller action, and end it with "exit". I do this for example in data maintenance actions (for site admins only).
This is actually one of the reasons why I abandoned Ruby on Rails for Cake; I once asked on a Rails forum why the Ruby equivalent of "echo" wasn't working inside a controller action, and was told that they had deliberately disabled it to force you to follow the Rails method. (to the other repliers) Imo a framework is a toolbox and you should just use the tools you want and not be forced to use the whole package. For example, I recently got frustrated with making select queries with CakePHP's find methods - for complex queries they're just a hindrance imo - and decided to make all my select queries with SQL statements again. I also use my own authing and pagination. Still, I love many of CakePHP's other features and the fact that it doesn't force me to use everything is imo its best feature. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
