Question

Hi all I keep getting a Unknown column ‘Array’ in ‘where clause’ with $receiverName, when I debug $receiver I get this ouput

array(
    (int) 0 => array(
        'Invoice' => array(
            'receiver_id' => '3',
            'id' => '1'
        ),
        'FieldsInvoice' => array(
            (int) 0 => array(
                'id' => '1',
                'field_id' => '9',
                'invoice_id' => '1',
                'entered_value' => '1000.00'
            )
        )
    ),
    (int) 1 => array(
        'Invoice' => array(
            'receiver_id' => '4',
            'id' => '2'
        ),
        'FieldsInvoice' => array(
            (int) 0 => array(
                'id' => '2',
                'field_id' => '9',
                'invoice_id' => '2',
                'entered_value' => '2000.00'
            )
        )
    ),
    (int) 2 => array(
        'Invoice' => array(
            'receiver_id' => '7',
            'id' => '3'
        ),
        'FieldsInvoice' => array()
    ),
    (int) 3 => array(
        'Invoice' => array(
            'receiver_id' => '8',
            'id' => '4'
        ),
        'FieldsInvoice' => array()
    ),

    //returns receiver_id from the invoices table where sender_id=current user account

$receiver=$this->Invoice->find('all',array(
        'fields'=>('receiver_id'),'conditions'=>array(
        'sender_id'=>$accounts2)));

    //returns company_name from the accounts tables where receiver_id=account.id

what I’m trying to do is grab receiver_id from the array, then compare that with account.id then print company_name but its throwing an issue with the where statement in my $receiverName find

$receiverName=$this->Account->find('all',array(
        'fields'=>('company_name'),'conditions'=>array(
        'id'=>$receiver)));

Answer 1

That’s because you are passing array, change you $receiver line to following

$receiver=$this->Invoice->field('receiver_id',array('sender_id'=>$accounts2));
