Use before Save function in the model
If(!empty($this->data))
{
$this->data['Model']['field1'] = $this->data['Model']['field1'] * 0.55;
$this->data['Model']['total'] = $this->data['Model']['field1'] + all your
other fields
return true;
}
Something like that

Subject: Capturing Field information before to compute before saving in
database
Thanks to all who have taken the time to help out without being
condescending or intimidating. I am a newbee and this help has encouraged me
to keep on learning CakePHP. Once I get good I will help others on this
forum.
Now on my expense submitter i am working on - there are field1, field2, and
field3.Hidden is the 'total' field. The user enters numerical values in
field1, field2, and field3. Before the data is saved into the database
field1 needs to be multiplied with 0.55 and saved back in field1. Then the 3
fields need to be added and saved in the hidden field 'total'.
I am looking for an access point to get to the fields and do my computation
before they are saved into the database. Any suggestions and help is
appreciated.
