Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I will look into cake Set classes.
maybe i should have explained it further....
Im using cake as a backend to extjs and need the output of the findall
result to be json format. This is the reason i wanted the array in
that format. What i would like better is to use cake powerful array
output and then find out how to use that in the extjs json reader?
That would be perfect. failing that i will have to reformat the
findall result into a structure that extjs json reader can use.
I am stronger with cake than extjs and json, i guess thats why I
started looking for a cake answer to the problem.
Any extjs bakers out there?
cheers,
Trav.
