Hi, I want to save a new contact. The contacts has skills (belongsToMany). Skill is a text input and with jquery autocomplete I search for existing skills. If the user select existing skills their id is sent to to controller, if they create new skills the controller gets their names starting with a "~" char.
So my controller gets something like this: /*debug($this->request->data); 'name' => 'John Doe', 'email' => '[email protected]', 'skills' => [ '_ids' => [ (int) 0 => '1', //found in skills, this is the id (int) 1 => '~könyvelő' //starts with "~" this is a new skill (or fast typer problem) ] ] */ If I have no new skill (a skill what starts with "~") I can do the following: $contact = $this->Contacts->newEntity($this->request->data); this->Contacts->save($contact); But if I have new skill I should save it first, get the corresponding id, replace the name with the id and than I could save it. Is it the way? I did not find any way to get the last inserted id. -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
