Pass data from a form to a controller in yii2

Question

I am creating a page that has 3 fields - product code, startdate, enddate. When I click on the search button it should create a pdf file. 3 of these fields are without model. <

I'm not sure how it works without rendering... But anyway, to make them defined, you need to pass them to view file. The most common method (and I think the best by far) is to use $this->render() operation. At the end of of your public function actionStockbetweendates($upc, $startdate, $enddate) { add this:

return $this->render('index2', [
    'upc' => $upc,
    'startdate' => $startdate,
    'enddate' => $enddate,
];

One side note: you don't need to use these:

$upc = yii::$app->request->get('upc');
$startdate = yii::$app->request->get('startdate');
$enddate = yii::$app->request->get('enddate');

They are already defined (used) in parameters.
