Find out how many pages of results there are from within a paginated CakePHP Controller

I'm using CakePHP's paginate method within a controller. I开发者_StackOverflow社区 wish to find out how many pages of results were generated. This is easy enough within the view ($paginator->counter()) but I'd like to access this information from within the controller itself. Any ideas?

$this->params['paging'][<MODEL NAME>]['pageCount']

try using this. I think it's what you need

A little bit of searching bought this up

$this->params['paging'][$model]['count']

Where $model is your model name.

In CakePHP 3 you can access the parameters the following way after you have called the method paginate().

$this->request->params['paging']['Model']['count']
