cakephp read get variable

Question

I am parsing a value from a HTML element in cakephp and is being sent via Ajax to the following url;

 getquestion.json?data[Job][qs1]=2

Now I am trying to access data[Job][qs1] in the controller but can't figure it out.

The returned array is;

Array ( [data] => Array ( [Job] => Array ( [qs1] => 2 ) ) )

$_GET['data[Job][qs1]']; is not working which is rather odd.

please always mention your exact CakePHP version!

You are nesting data in your $_GET parameters. To access nested array, just try with:

$_GET['data']['Job']['qs1']

In CakePHP one should use CakeRequest to retrieve the data. $this->request->query('data.Job.qs1') or $this->request->query['data']['Job']['qs1'] (Cake 2.x), or $this->params['url']['data']['Job']['qs1'] (CakePHP 1.3).
