I have a very strange problem using CakePHP 2.2.4, let me explain what happen.
I have these mysql tables:
leads
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |

| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| name | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
and the follow are all the CakePhp Models I use (with the associations):
Lead.php
class Lead extends AppModel {
public $name = 'Lead';
/* Relazioni */
public $belongsTo = array('User', 'Service');
}
User.php
class User extends AppModel {
public $name = 'User';
/* Relazioni */
public $hasOne = 'Profile';
public $belongsTo = 'Role';
public $hasMany = array(
'Lead' => array(
'className' => 'Lead'
)
);
}
Profile.php
class Profile extends AppModel {
public $name = 'Profile';
/* Relazioni */
public $belongsTo = 'User';
public $hasMany = array(
'Address' => array(
'className' => 'Address'
)
);
}
Address.php
class Address extends AppModel {
public $name = 'Address';
/* Relazioni */
public $belongsTo = 'Profile';
}
Service.php
class Service extends AppModel {
public $name = 'Service';
}
I have a form that must to be saves in more than one mysql table.
This is the code i use to draft the FORM:
<?php
echo $this->Form->create(null, array(
'inputDefaults' => array(
'error' => false
)
)
); //create(false) per il form senza il modello
echo $this->Form->input('User.Profile.name', array(
'label' => array(
'class' => 'name-form',
'text' => 'Nome:'
),
'style' => 'width:238px;',
'div' => 'field'
)
);
echo $this->Form->input('User.Profile.surname', array(
'label' => array(
'class' => 'name-form',
'text' => 'Cognome:'
),
'style' => 'width:238px;',
'div' => 'field'
)
);
?>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('User.email', array(
'label' => array(
'class' => 'name-form',
'text' => 'Email:'
),
'div' => 'field',
'class' => 'input-xlarge'
)
);
echo $this->Form->input('User.Profile.Address.telephone', array(
'label' => array(
'class' => 'name-form',
'text' => 'Telefono:'
),
'div' => 'field'
)
);
?>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('Lead.service_id',
array(
'label' => array(
'class' => 'name-form',
'text' => 'Servizio richiesto:'
),
'div' => 'field',
'type' => 'select',
'options' => $services
)
);
echo $this->Form->input('Lead.location', array(
'label' => array(
'class' => 'name-form',
'text' => 'Vicino a:'
),
'div' => 'field',
'class' => 'input-xlarge'
)
);
?>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('Lead.message', array(
'label' => array(
'class' => 'message-form',
'text' => 'Richiesta:'
),
'div' => 'field',
'class' => 'form-field',
'type' => 'textarea'
)
);
echo $this->Form->button('Invia Richiesta', array(
'type' => 'submit',
'class' => 'submit-btn less-margin'
)
);
echo $this->Form->end();
?>
And this is the action of the controller(PagesController) that saves the data:
public function home()
{
if ($this->request->is('post'))
{
$this->loadModel('Lead');
$this->request->data['Lead']['ip'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$this->request->data['Lead']['date'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$this->request->data['User']['role_id'] = 3;
$this->Lead->set($this->request->data);
debug($this->request->data);
if ($this->Lead->validates())
{
// Dati nel modulo corretti
debug($this->Lead->saveAll($this->request->data, array('deep' => true)));
}
else
{
// Errore nella validazione
$this->Session->setFlash('Completare correttamente il form', 'default', array('class' => 'errore'), 'lead');
$errors = $this->Lead->validationErrors;
debug($errors);
}
}
$this->loadModel('Service');
$this->set('services', $this->Service->find('list'));
}
And this is the output generated from the FORM:
array(
'User' => array(
'Profile' => array(
'name' => 'The Name',
'surname' => 'The Surname',
'Address' => array(
'telephone' => 'The Telephone'
)
),
'email' => 'the@email.com',
'role_id' => (int) 3
),
'Lead' => array(
'service_id' => '1',
'location' => 'The location',
'message' => 'This is the request',
'ip' => '127.0.0.1',
'date' => '2013-01-01 08:07:42'
)
)
PROBLEM:
All work correctly, except one thing… saveAll() saves all the data correctly (in each model), but in the addresses table I only see that CakePhp insert profile_id, only this field, but as you can see in the array generated from the FORM, I also have the telephone!
Why does cakephp not also insert the telephone field?
Thank you
You are making up code, hence it does not work.
Nowhere in the cake docs does it say to use the following code:
Incorrect
You can not just string words together and hope for the best. You can either use:
Correct
There are no other valid ways to enter fields.
Instead of making things up, read the docs
