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()
   {
     .....
   }
} 

Check and Remove Flash Session with Cakephp

Controller.php

 public function contact()
    {
        if($this->Session->check('Message.message_send_success')) {
            $this->Session->delete('Message.message_send_success');
        }
        if ($this->request->is('post')) {
            $author = $this->viewVars['get_author'];

            if (!$author) {
                return $this->Session->setFlash(
                        'Both fields are required!',
                        'default',
                        array('class' => 'redTxt'),
                        'message_send_error');
            } else {
                $sender_name = ucfirst($author[0]['User']['username']);
                $email       = $author[0]['User']['email'];
                $user_id     = $author[0]['User']['id'];
                $this->loadModel('User');
                    $title = $this->request->data['User']['title'];
                    $body  = $this->request->data['User']['body'];
                    if (!$title && !$body) {
                        return $this->Session->setFlash(
                            'Both fields are required!',
                            'default',
                            array('class' => 'redTxt'),
                            'message_send_error');
                    }
                    $Email = new CakeEmail();
                    $Email->from(
                        array($email => $title))
                        ->to($email)
                        ->subject($title)
                        ->emailFormat('html')
                        ->send('From '.h($sender_name).' '.h($body));
                    $this->Session->setFlash(
                        'The message has been send!',
                        'default',
                        array('class' => 'alert alert-success'),
                        'message_send_success');
                }
        }
        $this->set('title', 'Contact Us');

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
