If you have User associated, you might already have the info in $this-
>data.
Here's an example:
class Message extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Message';
var $belongsTo = array('User');
}
class MessagesController extends Appcontroller
{
function view($id)
{
$result = $this->Message->find(array('Message.id' => $id),
null, null, true); // recursive set to true, will fetch associations
$message_title = $result['Message']['title'];
$sender = $result['User']['username'];
}
}
