CakePhp2 : How to get variables in an url like foo:bar/foo2:bar2/...?

Question

I'm using CakePhp2 and trying to get values of variables from a url.

My url looks like controller/action/foo:bar/foo2:bar2/foo3:bar3 ?

When I use $this->request['foo'] CakePhp says "Undefined index".

Any idea to find values of foo, foo2 and foo3?

try to make a var_dump($this->request) and see what print – Alessandro Minoccheri Sep 13 '12 at 15:10 — Alessandro Minoccheri, Sep 13 '12 at 15:10

check the documentation on named params. it will most likely be in

$this->request->params['named']

or even easier/cleaner for 2.x:

$this->request->named

so debug($this->request->named) for details.

You're working with named parameters: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/controllers/request-response.html#cakerequest – b. e. hollenbeck Sep 13 '12 at 15:24

Try

$this->passedArgs
OR
$this->request->params['pass']

You want to access the passed arguments.
