    If you are in Cake 1.x, your data should be available in the array $this->data … if you’re in Cake 2.x, you can access it through $this->request-data …

    If you debug or print_r or var_dump the array, you’ll see the structure …

    For 1.x see http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/en/view/1031/Saving-Your-Data

    For 2.x see http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/saving-your-data.html
