我如何在cakephp 2中编写会话变量？

Question

I read the cakephp documentation but there example is given how to write session vairable in controller like following.

$this->Session->write('Name', 'Value');

In a situation, I need to write session variable in view. How can i achieve that.

Answer 1

The question is old but the answer may help someone. To write SESSION in view use.

<?php SessionComponent::write('Name', 'Value'); ?>

And to read it use

$this->Session->read('Name');

Answer 2

You cannot write to the Session in views, only read. All Session writing is done in the Controller.

But if you really need, and I highly do not recommend doing this, write to the Session in the view you can use AJAX to call a method that writes whatever you need into the Session.
