Call and use helper in controller Cakephp

Somebody said that there would have many ways to call Helper to use in view , but inspire I would show you how to implement it in Controller.php

class YourContrller extends Objects{
  pubic function yourfunction()
  {
  App::import('Helper', 'String'); 
  $string = new StringHelper(new View());
 
  $string->yourFunctionHelper();
 }
}

StringHelper.php

class StringHelper extends AppHelper{
  
   public function yourfunction()
   {
     .....
   }
}

Get properties from beforefilter in Cakephp to other function

That is just a trick which most of the developers are still wondering that is there a ways to get some properties from beforefilter in Cakephp to use in other function ? so here is the ways to do.

AppController.php

public function beforeFilter()
{
$user_id = ($this->Auth->user('id') != '' ? $this->Auth->user('id'): $author[0]['User']['id']);
$this->User->recursive = -1;
$get_author = $this->User->find('all',
     array(
        'conditions' => array('User.id' => $user_id)
     ));
$this->set('get_author', $get_author);
}

FavoritesController.php

public function get_vaforite(){
   pr( $this->viewVars['get_author']); 
}

Result :

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [User] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 563c9401-445c-4d94-9151-5edb0a79370f

                    [country] => Cambodia
                    [partner_country] => Italy
                    [height] => 6
                    [foot_size] => 3

Replace Multiple String with PHP

Replace Multiple String In PHP

If you are working with PHP, then you would meet some problem with how to replace multiple string with a line of code. So there I will show you how to replace multiple string to make your url to be friendly.
In this case you have to know a PHP function which is call "str_replace", the below code will explain you how it work.

function replace_multiple_string($search=array(),$replace="",$string="")
{
  if(count($search) < 1)
  {
    return false;
  }
  else
  {
    return str_replace($search, $replace, $string);
  }
}

Explanation:

In the function above you would see the str_replace function which I've use to remove and replace the underscore instead of $replaces array.

 - str_replace : Replace all occurrences of the search string with the replacement string.

Usage : 

$string= "You are on_tip(and)php+website";
$search= array("_", "(", "+", ")"," ","+");

var_dump(replace_multiple_string($search,"-",$string));

Demo :

string(29) "You-are-on-tip-php-website"
