Sending multiple values from form to controller with cakephp3

Question

I'm making a form to search my application for users with their name or email. Specifically, I am trying to make a search engine, but I don't know how to send two parameters from my form to my controller in cakephp3.

// In my controller

       $keyword =$this->request->query('keyword' );
     $users = $this->Users->findAllByFirst_nameOrEmail($keyword);

// In my form

        <?= $this->Form->create("",['type'=>'get']) ?>
           <?=  $this->Form->control('keyword'); ?>
           <button>Search</button>
        <?= $this->Form->end() ?>

What's not working about your existing code? It looks like it should be fine, as far as it goes. — Greg Schmidt, Aug 09 '19 at 18:02

You just need to add another argument in your method, here you are using findAllByFirst_nameOrEmail, Here you have two fields so you have to give two arguments. In your case you just can change your code

$users = $this->Users->findAllByFirst_nameOrEmail($keyword);

to

$query   = $this->Users->findAllByFirstNameOrEmail($keyword,$keyword);
