I want to count some data from my database and then display the amount
in my view.
>From reading the manual I would think the proper MVC was would be to
make a function in my Model that counts the records in the field and
then use the controller to send the result of that Model function to
my view. However I am a bit confused because in lots of tutorials I
have been reading ppl skip the model and put the count code right into
the controller.
so what is better? doing it like this:
Model:
function count_categorys($category) {
return $this->find('count', array('conditions' =>
array('Post.category_id' => "=$category")));
}
Controller:
$this->set('test', $this->Post->count_categorys($category));
Or should I do it like this:
Contoller:
$this->set('test', $this->Post->find('count', array('conditions' =>
array('Post.category_id' => "=$category"))));
