Question

I have a form that includes an hour and minute drop down using this: 'dateFormat'=>'NONE', 'timeFormat'=>'24' But now when i save the form $this->data ends up looking like the array below and because eventStartDate & eventStartDate are arrays it makes an SQL error saying eventStartDate can not be null etc.

Array
(
    [Work] => Array
        (
            [eventStartDate] => Array
                (
                    [hour] => 12
                    [min] => 00
                )

            [eventEndDate] => Array
                (
                    [hour] => 12
                    [min] => 45
                )

            [description] => 234
            [projectID] => 7105
            [taskID] => 1
            [userid] => 8
        )

)

• Shouldnt cakephp make these arrays into strings so they can be put into the database automatically?
• What values for day, month etc will be used?

Answer 1

This might help, as it worked for me:
Your view code should look something like this

echo $form->dateTime('your_column_name', 'NONE', '24');
