Dears delocalizer and DrLoboto,
tnx for your suggestions... i'm working in that way now but i hade
some difficulties...
Basically I have this portion of the $form array:
[Amenity] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 6
[name] => Pets
[AmenitiesProperty] => Array
(
[id] => 17
[property_id] => 1
[amenity_id] => 6
[specify] => no
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Type
[AmenitiesProperty] => Array
(
[id] => 16
[property_id] => 1
[amenity_id] => 1
[specify] => no
)
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[name] => Floors
[AmenitiesProperty] => Array
(
[id] => 15
[property_id] => 1
[amenity_id] => 2
[specify] => no
)
)
[3] => Array
(
[id] => 3
[name] => Last Remodeled
[AmenitiesProperty] => Array
(
[id] => 14
[property_id] => 1
[amenity_id] => 3
[specify] => no
)
)
[4] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[name] => Constructed
[AmenitiesProperty] => Array
(
[id] => 13
[property_id] => 1
[amenity_id] => 4
[specify] => no
)
)
[5] => Array
(
[id] => 5
[name] => Smoking
[AmenitiesProperty] => Array
(
[id] => 12
[property_id] => 1
[amenity_id] => 5
[specify] => no
)
)
)
and i need looping through it and echoing separte elements
individually...
I know how i can access and echo elements from this array:
ie.
echo $this->data['Amenity'][0]['name'];
and i think i should use a "for each ... " statement... but how can i
loop this kind of multidimensional associative array in CakePHP ?
tnx a lot
