Question

I would like to ask how can I can display only some data from a table to the user’s view, using mysql query in cakephp.

Example, I have a table Students. There are two fields, name and age.

Clerk, 21
Mary, 23
Matt, 21
Clara, 21

Here is my query, SELECT * FROM Students where age='21';

How and where can I apply it in cakephp? Thanks.

What Have You Tried? … if you really want help, you’re going to need to provide more info … have you looked at the CakePHP book online …

Either way, as a bit of a starter, somewhere in your controller you will:

$students = $this->Student->find('all',array('conditions' => array('age' => 21)));
$this->set('students', $students);

And then in your view:

foreach($students as $student){
    echo $student['Student']['name'] . ', ' . $student['Student']['age'] . '<br />';
}

Or something to that effect …
