# Accept GET or POST parameters

To map actions that receive parameters, pass an array of [RequestParameter](/version-0.x/reference/core-classes/requestparameter.md) objects via the `parameters` key when creating [Request](/version-0.x/reference/core-classes/request.md) object. For example, mapping an action that receives a `userId` parameter via GET would look like this:

```php
...

$e->Actions->mapAction([
    "viewUser",
    new \Cherrycake\Actions\ActionHtml([
        "moduleType" => ACTION_MODULE_TYPE_APP,
        "moduleName" => "Users",
        "methodName" => "viewUser",
        "request" => new \Cherrycake\Actions\Request([
            "pathComponents" => [
                new \Cherrycake\Actions\RequestPathComponent([
                    "type" => REQUEST_PATH_COMPONENT_TYPE_FIXED,
                    "string" => "user"
                ])
            ],
            "parameters" => [
                new \Cherrycake\Actions\RequestParameter([
                    "type" => REQUEST_PARAMETER_TYPE_GET,
    						    "name" => "userId",
                    "securityRules" => [
                        SECURITY_RULE_TYPICAL_ID
                    ]
    						])
            ]
        ])
    ])
]);

...
```

This action will be triggered when URLs like `/user?userId=381` are requested. You can then get the `userId` value just like we did above for dynamic paths:

```php
function viewUser($request) {
    echo "The requested user id ".$request->userId;
}
```

> Check out the [Security](/version-0.x/reference/core-modules/security.md) module to learn more about the `securityRules` and `filters` you can configure when mapping actions with `parameters`.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cherrycake.tin.cat/version-0.x/guide/actions-guide/accept-get-or-post-parameters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
