I had already read and tried that, but as explained in the docs...
"If you need to specify multiple fields using the same field name, thus
creating an array that can be saved in one shot with saveAll()..."
This is for displaying an array of rows from a table. This isn't exactly
what I need to do.
I need to load data into the controller, process it, and then display an
array of results from the processing. So, my need is to display the
contents of an array, created by the controller (not the model), one
member at a time. The documentation refers to displaying an array of
table rows from a model, as in the following example:
<?php
echo $form->input('Modelname.0.fieldname');
echo $form->input('Modelname.1.fieldname');
?>
I tried to treat it as a "group", but that didn't work either.
Using $this->set(compact('data','myarray') does add the array so the
view can display it, but if I attempt to loop through "myarray", I get
nothing. However, if I just do:
echo $form->input('myarray')
the data is rendered, but into a single field as a drop down list. I
need to be able to loop through the array and render each member
individually and I haven't been able to get any hints from the docs. For
example, I have tried:
for ($i = 0; $i < 42; $i++); {
echo $form->input('myarray[$i]')
}
My array gets rendered, but without any of the data.

Please read the following from the CakePHP book:

That should explain a little about passing data as an array to the
view for presentation.
Enjoy,

Okay, I've narrowed this down more.
I'm actually trying to render an array, one member at a time. So,
$form->input("something[$i]") doesn't work. I've verified the data is
there, by simply doing $form->input("something") and a single field is
rendered as a drop down list. I have even tried, in the view, to loop
through the array and set a single variable to the current member and
then do a set(), but the value doesn't seem to be available.
So, the question is, how do I render an array one member at a time?
