I have two tables: countries and networks, linked via a HABTM using
countriesNetwork lookup table.

I want to perform a query ob the countries table to get all
Country.countryName rows, but each country needs to  have an array of
CountriesNetwork.network_id too. Something like this:




I have two tables linked via a HABTM. countries & networks. They are
linked together by the countries_networks lookup table.

I need to get all of the countries and all of the associated network
ids for each corresponding country. I don't need to go as far as
getting the network names, simply getting the ids from the lookup
table will suffice.

If I do a find(all) it gives me an array of countries but not in the
structure that I need. I need to return something link this, but I
only need Country.countryName and CountriesNetwork.network_id:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [Country] => Array
                (
                    [countryName] => France
                )
            [CountriesNetwork] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                               (
                                    [id] => 1
                                    [network_id] => 1
                                )
                    [1] => Array
                               (
                                    [id] => 2
                                    [network_id] => 7
                                )
                 )
         )
)

I've been struggling with find all and I've tried a custom query using
a join, but it results in lots of duplicate countries. I just want the
country name along with an array of network_id's. ( I could go as far
as getting the network name from the network table if its easier.)

I've even tried using unbind and bind to change my associations, but I
haven't had much look there: http://pastebin.com/m1cca9e77

Can someone possibly help me on this? I know it will be one of those
'aah i see' moments. Many thanks.
