I think you are getting a little confused between controller and
components. Your simplemail function could be placed inside the
'Email' component. And you could use the simplemail function in other
controllers by importing the component (and not the controller)
App::import('Component','Email')You could treat components as controller helper classes (although they do more than than that). _k10_ On Jan 20, 1:25 am, gerhardsletten <[email protected]> wrote: > Writing an app where I was planing to move all email delivering in one > controller.
