Question

How do you use cakephp to count, for example the number of posts, made every month in a year?

Preferably using Model->find(‘count’) and get the data in an array.

$data = $this->Post->query("SELECT COUNT(id),MONTH(created) FROM posts GROUP BY YEAR(created), MONTH(created);");

            [0] => Array
                (
                    [COUNT(id)] => 1
                    [MONTH(created)] => 3
                )

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
