Hi Cory, how you do this depends on details.
You can call one action from another action from within the same controller without problems. In this case you cannot pass parameters but they will see the same global variables (request, response, etc). You can define any function in a model or controller and call it from any action in that controller. In this case you can pass parameters. If you want to call an action from one controller from an action in another controller there are three ways: 1) make a separate http request 2) use exec_environment which "fakes" a separate http request but it is faster because does not go over network 3) don't. put the function in a module and import the module from both controllers. In many cases 3) is the most appropriate thing to do. but there is nothing wrong wth 2.
