here this code displays date from datepicker , it works fine but i have to pass the date variable value to profiles controller, index action with this one id and the date cariable

Answer 1

// javascript redirect
window.location = '/profiles/index?id=123&date=2014-05-03'
// ProfilesController
public function index() {
$id = $this->request->query['id'];
$date = $this->request->query['date'];
}
OR if you want to stay on the same page use ajax
$.ajax({
url:'/profiles/index',
data:{id:123, date:'2014-05-03'},
type:'POST',
success:function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
// do something
}
})
// ProfilesController
public function index() {
if($this->request->is('ajax')) {
$id = $this->request->data['id'];
$date = $this->request->data['date'];
// do something
}
}
