yii2 framework: Controller/Action url & without parameters

Question

In my application , I have AdminController with actionupdate, So in YII the path becomes admin/update . Now in order to get certain users info , I use the following path admin/update?id=10 where 10 is the empID .

Is there any way to do the same thing without id part of the path, ie I want my path to look like admin/update? instead of ( admin/update?id=10 ). i don't need the user want to see the id values.

Thank you!

Answer 1

You can send data using POST method instead of GET

With the help of javascript Use an hidden form with post method and a input field. onclick of update button set id to input field and submit form. you will get id in controller's action without showing it in url

Answer 2

use in actionUpdata Yii::$app->user->id;

public function actionUpdate() {
  $empID = Yii::$app->user->id;
}
