Question

I need to get the last id that was added or modified in beforeSave function() in one model. I try this:

$this->model->id; and $this->data['model']['short'] but it do not work.

this is correct in cakephp or there is another way to get the id in a model?

Answer 1

I am using this function in the model to store the saved id’s of the model:

function afterSave($created){   
    if($created){
        $this->inserted_ids[] = $this->getInsertID();
    }
    return true;
}

Then simply get the saved id by using $this->ModelName->inserted_ids;
