How to check an Ajax request in cakephp?

ajax cakephp

Depends on the version of cake.

1.3.x:

$this->RequestHandler->isAjax();

2.x || 3.x

$this->request->is('ajax');

ajax cakephp

var $components = array('RequestHandler');

$this->RequestHandler->isAjax()

You can find more information about the RequestHandler component here

ajax cakephp

this question is an older one but just in case anyone comes across this like me and uses CakePHP 2:

RequestHandler::isAjax() is deprecated, use the Request Object's $this->request->is('ajax');
