Is that possible to save data with form submission

Question

controller code:

    public function login()
    {
        $this->LoadModel('Users');

        pr($this->data);
    }

View code:

<?php echo
$this->Form->create('Post').
$this->Form->control('email').'<br>'.
$this->form->label('password').'<br>'.
$this->Form->password('password').'<br>'.
$this->Form->submit('log in').
$this->Form->end();
?>

I fail to understand that Data is submitted to controller but to read data from controller. I get that data saved with controller but to access data variable ie submit form data unable to read to controller.

Do you want to post data in controller ? is it your question ? — Alimon Karim, Jan 20 '20 at 08:04

To get post data, use debug

debug($this->request->getData());

It's looking like you need all CRUD code.

So, you can create your user add.ctp file below

location : templates\Users\add.ctp

<?= $this->Form->create($user) ?>

<?php
   echo $this->Form->control('username');
   echo $this->Form->control('email');
   echo $this->Form->control('password');
?>

<?= $this->Form->button(__('Submit')) ?>
<?= $this->Form->end() ?>

Then users controller look like

 UsersController/add method look like 

 public function add()
    {
        $user = $this->Users->newEmptyEntity();
        if ($this->request->is('post')) {
            $user = $this->Users->patchEntity($user, $this->request->getData());
            if ($this->Users->save($user)) {
                $this->Flash->success(__('The user has been saved.'));

                return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);
            }
            $this->Flash->error(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
        }
        $this->set(compact('user'));
    }

Do you need more ? Just need to give a simple command in your app folder to generate your CRUD.

give command

bin/cake bake all users

Assumption, users is your database table name. Then you will get add,edit,delete,view. can see this tutorial for see how to give cake bake command

thanks for your answer it solved most of it but save data to database would i get a response for that as well. pls thanks. – Prabhakar Siddhant Jan 21 '20 at 10:56
You will save data in database using method save(), you don't need write insert query. Insert query manage by save. – Alimon Karim Jan 21 '20 at 11:05
ok i get that so i let code flow but i was not able to save data because went to : $this->Flash->error(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.')); – Prabhakar Siddhant Jan 21 '20 at 11:08
This is unable to save then you got error. Here may have lots of problem. see in logs/error.log for details. – Alimon Karim Jan 21 '20 at 11:12
there is no error as such but only flash message but i'll read code still and get back. thanks. – Prabhakar Siddhant Jan 21 '20 at 11:19
