for the controller ----------------------- by default, $this->data means the (POST)ed data array, so every FORM field having a name = data[anything here][anything there] will be handled by $this->data array inside the controller... otherwise (in case the name of the FORM field is not data[...]), it willl be handled via $this->params['form']['the name of the FORM field']
inside the controller, and at any time, you can alter/sanitize do what ever you want with this POSTed $data array to prepare it for the model. NOW, update/modify/save operations inside the model may use the prepared $this->data or ANY array of the same form For the model -------------------- Usually the $data array of the model is accessed/altered inside model callbacks. but since it is public, you can access it from the controller scope, but this is not recommended. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
