Passing array to requestAction in CakePHP

Question

I have function

public myfunction($myArray) {
}

I need to pass array("cat", "dog") To action.

$output = $this->requestAction(
    array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'),
    array("cat","dog")
);

But this passes only cat to my controller action, dog wasn't passed.

I tried this:

$output = $this->requestAction(
    array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'),
    array("myArray" => array("cat","dog"))
);

But it didn't help. I checked cookbook but couldn't find relevant example. How can I fix this? Thank you

array("animals" => array("cat"=>"cat","dog"=>"dog"))
);

Try this code

$this->requestAction(
    array('controller' => 'app', 'action' => 'myfunction'),
        array('pass' => array('dog','cat'))
            );

in Myfunction :

public myfunction() {
    pr($this->params->params['pass']);
}

Tell me if not working...
