How to Pass Parameter to Controller in Magento

controllers

Is it possible in magento to send parameter to controller form?

    $x=987654;
    $url=Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl("/label/setlabel");
    $block->addButton('label', array(
                     "label" => "Get Label",
                     "onclick" =>"popWin('$url', 'windowname', 'width=400,height=300,scrollbars=yes')
                                    )
    );"

controller file:

class MyCompany_MyModule_Adminhtml_LabelController
extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{
    public function setlabelAction()
        {
           echo $x;//is this possible?
        }
}

I have this $x parmeter, is it possible somehow to send it to controller and echo it there?

Best Answer

You can send that parameter through GET by making the url look like this:

$url=Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl("/label/setlabel", array('param_name'=>$paramValue));

So in your case it can be

 $url=Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl("/label/setlabel", array('x'=>$x));

Then you can read it in the controller like this:

$x = $this->getRequest()->getParam('x');

{
    public function indexAction(){
     $productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')->addCategoryFilter($category);

     $this->loadLayout(array('default'),'');

     $this->getLayout()->getBlock('your_main_block_name_here')->setData('products', $productCollection);

     $this->renderLayout();
    }
}

Then you will be able to access the product collection in your block or template like this:

$this->getData('products');

Magento – pass data from phtml file to controller

if you are doing it with ajax,then Try this,

var name = jQuery(".input_text").val();//make sure you have used 'input_text'for this input element only
jQuery.ajax({
            type:"POST",
            data:{vat_exempt_name:name},//see ajax syntax for remaining

The above code can help you to pass params as post to any controller.

instead using jquery you can getting value of an element with simple javascript as, var name = document.getElementById('input_field_id').value;
