Passing CActiveForm data to another action in the controller

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

this action renders the form sell.php. I want to know how can I pass data received by this action to another action in the same controller


public function actionSell()

	{	

	    $model=new LandlordRent;

		

		$countries = Allcountries::model()->findAll(array('order' => 'country ASC'));


		if(isset($_POST['LandlordRent']))

		{

			$model->attributes=$_POST['LandlordRent'];

		}

		

		$countries = Allcountries::model()->findAll(array('order' => 'country ASC'));

		

		$user = Userregistration::model()->findAll();		

		

		$this->render('sell',array('model'=>$model, 'countries'=>$countries, 'user'=>$user));

	}

this is the start of form in sell.php view file


<?php $country=CHtml::listData($countries,'country','country');


	$form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(

		'id'=>'landlordrent-form',

		'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,

		'enableClientValidation'=>true,

		'htmlOptions'=>array('enctype'=>'multipart/form-data'),

		'clientOptions'=>array(

		'validateOnSubmit'=>true,

		),		

	));    ?>

This is the action which renders thanks view on form submission and sends email. How can I pass $_POST data from the actionSell action to this action ?


public function actionThanks()

	{

	$body = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

[s]I would use LandlordRent model in actionThanks. :)




public function actionThanks($model)

{

	...

	<td style="background-color:#3C4976; padding:3px 10px; width:40%;">First Name</td>

	<td style="background-color:#3C4976; padding:3px 10px; width:60%;">'. $mode->txtYourName . </td>

	...

	mail($model->txtEmail,"Home Page Enquiry",$body,$headers);

	$this->render('thanks');

}

[/s]

[EDIT]

Sorry. I failed to understood your code. Forget it, please.

I would create a function that receives LandlordRent model as a parameter, and call it from the actionSell method. :)




public function actionSell()

{

	$model=new LandlordRent;

	if(isset($_POST['LandlordRent']))

	{

		$model->attributes=$_POST['LandlordRent'];

		if ( ... some condition ... )

		{

			$this->sendThanksMail($model);

			$this->render('thanks');

			Yii::app()->end();

		}

	}


	$countries = Allcountries::model()->findAll(array('order' => 'country ASC'));

	$user = Userregistration::model()->findAll();


	$this->render('sell',array('model'=>$model, 'countries'=>$countries, 'user'=>$user));

}


public function sendThanksMail($model)

{

	...

	<td style="background-color:#3C4976; padding:3px 10px; width:40%;">First Name</td>

	<td style="background-color:#3C4976; padding:3px 10px; width:60%;">'. $mode->txtYourName . </td>

	/* Preferably those lines should be implemented as a partial view script */

	...

	mail($model->txtEmail,"Home Page Enquiry",$body,$headers);

}
