After the Event info has been submitted, if your models are set up
correctly, you should get the Event id included in your User form if
it's in $this->data['Event']['id']
User form:
$form->hidden('Event.id')
However, wouldn't it make more sense to submit the User info before
the Event info? I assume that a User hasMany Event. In which case,
you'd have the User submit their info and ensure that
$this->data['User']['id'] was set before rendering (not redirect to)
the Event form view, which would have:
echo $form->hidden('User.id');
>From your description, I'd think this would be a better way to handle it.
