Ok, this setup will give you a post-redirect-get mechanism.
You could also forgo the requirement for the id to be passed as a
parameter, and just use the posted data[] - this would avoid the
redirect.
Some kind of validation would be good to add, too.
View:
<?php
echo $form->create('Lead', array('action' => 'filter'));
echo $form->input(...);
echo $form->end('Go');
?>
Controller:
function filter($filter_id = null) {
if (empty($filter_id) && !empty($this->data['Lead']['employee'])) {
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'filter', $this->data['Lead']
['employee']));
}
// Rest of code here
}
