cakephp 3.0 passing data to the form.php -

i using modelless form send contact email. using example in cookbook.

with change data in objects form arrays unsure form data in being passed contactform.php

i have tried $data['name'] , $data[0]['name']

view input name without data[]

<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" placeholder="your name" required="" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="false"> 

pagescontroller.php

public function contact(){      $this->request->allowmethod('ajax');      $contact = new contactform();     if ($this->request->is('post')) {         if ($contact->execute($this->request->data)) {             $data = array(                 'status' => 'successful'             );         } else {             $data = array(                 'status' => 'error'             );         }         $this->set(compact('data')); // pass $data view         $this->set('_serialize', 'data');     }  } 

contactform.php

protected function _execute(array $data) {     // send email.     $email = new email('default');     $email->emailformat('html');     $email->template('demotemplate')->viewvars( array('username' => $data[0]['name'],         'usercompany' => '$data',         'useremail' => '$data',         'userphone' => '$data'));      $email->from('info@domain.com');     $email->to('$data');     $email->bcc('$data');     $email->subject('contact form submission');     if ($email->send()) {         return true;     }     else {         return false;     } } 

well use first tool advanced-rest-client, , inside code of cakephp can use try , catch, can user debug() too, example debug($data); in combination advanced-rest-client can see result.

and if debug dont work serialice data

$this->set('data', $data); $this->set('_serialize', ['data']); 

but when serialized data use advanced-rest-client, select post option , type url of want post.

so:

public function contact(){    $this->request->allowmethod('ajax');    $contact = new contactform();   if ($this->request->is('post')) {     if ($contact->execute($this->request->data)) {         debug($this->request->data());//first          $datos = $this->request->data();//second          $data = [           'content' => $datos,           'status' => 'successful',         ];     } else {         $datos = $this->request->data();         $data = [           'content' => $datos,           'status' => 'error,         ];     }     $this->set(compact('data')); // pass $data view     $this->set('_serialize', 'data');   } }
