Changed the quotes. 

Now I end up with 

Array
(
    [title] => Greener Plan-it!
    [created] => 2009-07-16 13:28:59
    [id] => 8197d5
    [country_id] => 54
    [state_id] => 7
    [Post] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [SUBSTR(description, 0, 50)] => 
                )

        )

)

There is a description to be pulled but nothing shows up.

Ideas?

Thanks

Dave

Your quotes are wrong:

'fields' =>array(
                         'Post.title',
                         'Post.created',
                         'SUBSTR(description, 0, 50)',
                         'Post.id'),
