Question

I have these codes on my controller that gets the inputted value to the text box by the user:

$username = $this->request->data['employee_account']['username'];
$password = $this->request->data['employee_account']['password'];

I want this kind of query to be implemented using cakePHP code:

"SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password'";

how can i do this using find()??

Assuming you have model with name accounts

$login = $this->Account->find('first', array(
                        'conditions' => array(
                            'Account.email' => $username,
                            'Account.password' => $password
                        )
                    ));
    if ($login)
    {//do something}
    else
    {
    }
