Question

How can I get the current model name in AppModel?

I have this code to verify password and confirm password. But I would like to put it in AppModelp:

function isSameAs($check, $field) {
  if( $check === $this->data['User'][$field] ) {
    return true;
  }
  else {
    return false;
  }
}

I am using CakePHP 2.

You are best to use $this->alias (see API for model). Using @Ben Lee’s suggestion, that would be:

function isSameAs($check, $field) {
    return $check === $this->data[$this->alias][$field];
}
