nabil you are right...i realized it too and returned a string "taken"
or "free"...it works now...... i am saying:
$eyed = $this->find(array('eyed' => $data), array('eyed'));
if(empty($eyed) == true){
return "free";
}else{
return "taken";
and in my controller
do{
$lkbl_eyed=rand(1,5);
}
while ($eyed = $this->Linkable->validateEyed($lkbl_eyed) ==
"taken");
return $lkbl_eyed;
}
now its fine....but an endless loop is created when all numbers are
taken.....he is not ending the loop then...any idea how i can cake to
take a break if all numbers are taken?
thx
