POHow to save JSON data in cakephp
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm using CakePHP v2.2.1 stable. I have a <code>UsersController</code> with the action <code>add()</code>. I'm trying to send the user info via ajax (from the home page to <code>/users/add</code>) and save the data. My code is something like this:</p> <pre><code>// /app/View/Pages/home.ctp <?php $data = array('User' => array('username' => 'vegeta_super_sayajin', 'password' => 'over9000!', 'email' => 'vegeta@supersayajin.com', 'profile_pic' => '/home/pics/scouter.jpg', 'firstname' => 'Vegeta', 'lastname' => 'Vegeta', 'level_id' => '9001')); ?> <script type="text/javascript"> var data = <?php echo json_encode($data); ?> //convert $data into json format $.ajax({url: '/users/add', data: "data="+data, type: 'post'}); </script> </code></pre> <p>How do I receive this data in the <code>UsersController</code>, so that I can process and save it?</p> <p>Currently, I'm trying:</p> <pre><code>// /app/Controller/UsersController.php function add() { if($this->request->is('post') { //returns "Error: [object Object] in logfile $this->log($this->request->data); } else { $this->Session->setFlash(__("The user could not be saved :(")); } $this->autoRender = false; } </code></pre> <p><code>$this->log($this->request->data)</code> returns <code>Error: [object Object]</code> in the <code>/app/tmp/logs/error.log</code> file, and this user info does not exist in any of <code>$this->request->params</code>'s indexes. All my googling so far has returned only complicated cakephp v1.3 techniques. How is this done in cakephp v2.2.1?</p>
