you need to populate data array in your controller
Cake 1.3: $this->data = array('ModelName' => array('key1' => 'value1'));
Cake 2.0: $this->request->data = array('ModelName' => array('key1' =>
'value1"));
and then in form helper in 'create' method first parameter is default
ModelName
and when you use $this->Form->input('key1') it will search in data array in
"ModelName.key1" and value inside will be "value1"
Understand ? :)
