CakePHP: get current controller name in a model

I'm creating a behaviour that needs to log the current controller name. How can I get the current controller na开发者_开发知识库me from within a model in CakePHP?

I know this question is pretty old, but the proper solution here would be:

$this->params['controller']

For more information on the 'params' attribute:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/963/The-Parameters-Attribute-params

Try this. if u only need the name of the controller.

Inflector::pluralize($this->name);

$GLOBALS['Dispatcher']->params['controller']

will give you the controller name

I found a solution, it's not pretty but worked for me. I just use the $_REQUEST['url'] and catch de controller name by url. The downside of this solution, is that if you have a route different for default, this solution will not work... anyone have a better approach ?

For anybody revisiting this question and using CakePHP 3.x:

$this->request->getParam('controller')

One of PHP's Magic Constants is __CLASS__ which will return the class name of the object it is within. This may get you what you need.

Magic Constants and Methods are fun.
