Hi everybody! :)

I'm trying to understand how to use transactions in cakephp:
i have this 2 different table, let's say
A: name, surname, id, code_b, data, point
B: name, surname, id, code, score

and when i make an insert into A i have to update the score of B,
adding the point of A.


i wrote something like:


function add()
    {
        if(isset($this->data))
        {
                Controller::loadModel('Father');
                $authstring=$this->Session->read('Auth.User');
        $Father=$authstring['CodeB'];

        $this->data['A']['Father']=$Father;

        $dataSource->begin($this);



        if ($Father=$this->Father->find('first', array('conditions' =>
array('CodiceFather' => $this->data['FatherA']))))
        {
                $oldScore=$Father['PreferenzePrevisteReferenze'];
                $newScore=($tihs->Data['PersoneCollegate']*$this-
>Data['ProbabilitaDiVoto'])/100;
                $totScorei=$oldScore+$nuoviScore;
                if($this->A->save($this->data))
                {
                        if($this->Father->set('Score', $totScore))
                                {
                                $dataSource->commit($this);
                                $this->Session->setFlash("new A was saved");
                                }
                        else {
                                $this->Session->setFlash('Errore UPDATE');
                                $dataSource->rollback($this);
                        }
                }
                else {
                        $this->Session->setFlash('Errore insert');
                        $dataSource->rollback($this);
                }
        }
        else {
                $this->Session->setFlash('errore FIND');
                $dataSource->rollback($this);
             }
        }

    }

is this the right way to do it? I get an error if in the A model i put
$dataSource = $this->getDataSource();

(Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE )

THANK YOUU!
