I had already done the google search and read cake's documentation. Thanks for search link though.
Perhaps its how I interpret what the routes do. I think I understand how the routes work. Correct me if I'm wrong. The default routing is using the htaccess mod_rewrite. Using the blog tutuorial example. If I wanted to go to the controller posts->add($id) I would use this as my url www.example.net/posts/add/5 (for $id=5). If I wanted to do something different, such as whenever I get www.example.net/posts/5. I could write some route connection code to translate it to posts/add/5. This is how I understand the cake's routes. However, this is where I have the disconnect. The external website that calls my cake code will alway just call www.example.net/posts. It will never call www.example.net/posts/add/5, www.example.net/posts/add, or www.example.net/posts/5. It would store the action & id in the $_POST array. I believe the only way that I can do this is to have the posts->index() (default controller action) and parse the $_POSTS and then recall the dispatcher with a posts/add/5 as url. Being new with this framework. I just wanted to know if I'm missing something basic that handles this workaround.
