John;
Thanks for the response.
I am sorry I did not understand. I am a newbee. the code <?php echo
$form->input('employee_id'); ?> generated by cake produces a drop down
of all employee names in the database.
Instead I want to present only the name of the logged in employee
since the expense statement will be filed under the employees name/id.
I believe there will be a hidden field but there will also be some
kind of label that will show the employee name. I don't know how to
put this together.
