First step, confirm that your data is what you expect:
foreach($patient_list as $patient) {
die(debug($patient));
if that doesn't work put die(debug($patient_list)) before the foreach.
Second, but maybe unrelated, setting the viewVar $alldrugs will not
survive a redirect. That is, it wouldn't be available once processing
has gone on to the view for generatePatientInfo. So it's pointless to
do the find before checking to see if you should redirect. And
consider using setAction() instead.
Third, you should put as much logic as you can in the model. Fat
models/skinny controllers. Create methods in the model to pass the
data back to the controller.
Fourth, avoid Model::query. It has its uses but those should be rare.
Instead, create model associations. You can always use the
'finderQuery' param in the association array. (Coincidentally, I just
did the very same thing with a UNION.)
And in doing so, you should emulate how Cake uses model aliases. It
will make things a lot cleaner in the long run. That goes also for the
table naming. Instead of drug_pregnancy_links use drugs_pregnancies.
Also, your query might be better using Joins.
For example, in this case you could create a PatientInfo model. In
your *Drug* model:
public $hasMany => array(
'PatientReport' => array(
'className' => 'PatientReport',
'foreignKey' => false,
'finderQuery' => '
SELECT
Patient.id, Patient.first_name, Patient.last_name, Call.id, Call.created
FROM
(patients AS Patient)
LEFT JOIN
calls AS Call
ON
Call.patient_id = Patient.id
LEFT JOIN
lactations AS Lactation
ON
Lactation.call_id = Call.id
LEFT JOIN
drugs_lactations AS DrugLactation
ON
DrugLactation.lactation_id = Lactation.id
LEFT JOIN
drugs AS Drug
ON
DrugLactation.drug_id = Drug.id
WHERE
Drug.id = {$__cakeID__$}
UNION
SELECT
Patient.id, Patient.first_name, Patient.last_name, Call.id, Call.created
FROM
(patients AS Patient)
LEFT JOIN
calls AS Call
ON
Call.patient_id = Patient.id
LEFT JOIN
pregnancies AS Pregnancy
ON
Pregnancy.call_id = Call.id
LEFT JOIN
drugs_pregnancies AS DrugPregnancy
ON
DrugPregnancy.pregnancy_id = Pregnancy.id
LEFT JOIN
drugs AS Drug
ON
DrugPregnancy.drug_id = Drug.id
WHERE
Drug.id = {$__cakeID__$}'
)
);
If you can't rename the join tables, switch drugs_pregnancies &
drugs_lactations to your own names.
controller:
public function generateReport($id = null)
{
if (!empty($id))
{
$this->layout = 'ajax';
// remove these 2 lines once you know it's working
Configure::write('debug', 2);
die(debug($this->Drug->fetchPatientReport($id)));
$this->set(
'data',
$this->Drug->fetchPatientReport($id)
);
}
}
Drug.php:
public function fetchPatientReport($id)
{
return $this->find(
'first',
array(
'fields' => array(
$this->alias.'.id',
$this->alias.'.generic'
),
'conditions' => array(
$this->alias.'.id' => $id
),
'contain' => array(
'PatientReport'
)
)
);
}
