title: CakePHP: best way to call an action of another controller with array as parameter?
body: <p>In a controller, what is the most appropriate way to call the action of another controller and also pass an array as parameter?</p>
  
  <p>I know that you can use requestAction to call actions within other controllers. But is it possible to pass arrays as parameters using request action?</p>
  
  <p>And no, I do not want to put the action in the App Controller. So that is not a solution for me.</p>
  
  <p>The only other way I know is to load the other controller as explained in:

  <p>But is there an easier way to just call the other controllers action while passing an array as parameter?</p>
  
  <p>I am new to cakePHP so any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.</p>
