In cakephp what is the method to filter data on a database request.
Do I filter the data from a model or a controller?
Say if I have a table with 1000's of rows and I only want to select rows on
a condition , like a where clause on sql.
The user enters in a certain fields to select rows from a table.
I then pass this variable to the controller and the controller filters this
data or is the model supposed to filter the rows selected?
I didnt quite see this clearly from the cakephp docs.
I am not sure if a model or controller is the best way to go about it.
a controller would do ///
public function view($id = null) {
$post = $this->Post->findById($id);
$this->set('post', $post);
}
a model would do something like the below where you set the condition and this
seems a really messy way to go about things.
class Recipe extends AppModel {
public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Ingredient' =>
array(
'className' => 'Ingredient',
'joinTable' => 'ingredients_recipes',
'foreignKey' => 'recipe_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'ingredient_id',
'unique' => true,
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'finderQuery' => '',
'with' => ''
)
);
}
