CakePHP 2.0 Determine which submit button has been clicked

Question

In CakePHP 1.3 you can create a form with multiple submit buttons:

echo $this->Form->submit(\'Submit 1\', array(\'name\'=>\'submit\');
echo $this->Fo         


        

Answer 1

in 2.0 there is no $this->params['form'] anymore all form helper posted fields end up in $this->data (which makes more sense anyway)

so

if (!empty($this->data['submit']) && $this->data['submit'] == "Submit 1") {}

note that !empty() is better here as well.

PS: you can use my enhanced upgrade shell to replace it in your code: https://github.com/dereuromark/upgrade

its the command

cake Upgrade.Upgrade request
