Question

I created a site with CakePHP responsible for displaying my CV. I would like to add a new feature relying on that if i still work at some company it should display text: “until now”, if dont it should display a proper date. The problem is that when I adding a new column to my database named isActive and I set up value 1 to one of the entries (other entries have value 0) page displays value 0 for all entries. This problem occurs on production server. On my development server everything is ok.

View:

         <?php 
          if ($experience['Experience']['isActive'] == 0  ) {
            echo $this->Time->format('Y.m', $experience['Experience']['dateEnd']);
            /*tmp*/ echo $experience['Experience']['isActive'];
          } else if($experience['Experience']['isActive'] == 1){
            echo 'until now';
          }  
        ?>

What may be a problem?

CakePHP caches the table structures. Delete the caches all will be good in the world again.

If you make a change to your database schema when the debug level is 0, these model caches won’t be refreshed; if you get errors or unexpected behavior after making a database change, a likely fix is:

rm -f app/tmp/cache/models/*
