Question

I was wondering if there is another way more “cakephp like” to insert the user_id in multiple insert on the same Table. Example of what I do :

$user_id = $this->Auth->user('id');
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
        foreach ($this->request->data['Post'] as $key => $value) {
            if (is_int($key)) {
                $this->request->data['Post'][$key]['user_id'] = $user_id;
            }
            unset($key);
            unset($value);
        }
        debug($this->data['Post']);
        die();
        $this->Post->saveAll($this->data['Post']);
    }

I don’t use input hidden value user_id for serurity reason.
Thanks for your help !

Try something like this:

$result = Set::insert($this->request->data, 'Post.{n}.user_id', array('user_id' => $user_id));
