Set::combine() transforms your original array into
Array
(
[path1] => [path2]
...
)
so $combine = Set::combine($this->data,'{n}.{n}.Tree.id','{n}.
{n}.Tree.name');
would result in
Array
(
[1] => Pine,
[2] => Birch,
[24] => Cherrywood
...
)
Which is nothing like what you originally indicated you wanted.
Try (not tested):
$combine = array('Tree' => Set::combine($this->data, '{n}.{n}', '{n}.
{n}.Tree');
If that doesn't generate the array the way you need, can you provide a
sample of before and after arrays with at least three elements so I/we
can better understand what you are trying to convert from and to?
