Question

Im using cake 2.0.6 and im trying to save multiple records that are products my data output from the form is below;

I cant get it to save the two records, the fields in my form are set like; with 0 being the first record it should save. It wont save the 2 records for some reason. Ive turned off all validation for the product model and have no beforesave method

Any ideas whats wrong?

<input name="data[Product][0][product_code]"/>
<input name="data[Product][0][colour]"/>
<input name="data[Product][0][lead_time_weeks]"/>
<input name="data[Product][0][description]"/>
<input name="data[Product][0][height]" />
<input name="data[Product][0][width]" />
<input name="data[Product][0][depth]" />
<input name="data[Product][0][price]" />
<input name="data[Product][0][discount]" />
<input name="data[Product][0][discounted_price]" />
<input name="data[Product][0][quantity]"/>


<input name="data[Product][1][product_code]"/>
<input name="data[Product][1][colour]"/>

                    [discount] => 50
                    [discounted_price] => 
                    [quantity] =>

        )

EDIT:
Solution for future reference;
Call the save method like this;

$this->Product->saveAll($this->request->data[‘Product’]

Answer 1

How do you call saveAll? The common mistake is to call it like

$this->Product->saveAll($data);

When you should have done it like

$this->Product->saveAll($data['Product']);

It has to be numerically indexed without the Model key

As per the docs:
https://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/saving-your-data.html

Note that we are passing $data[‘Article’] instead of usual $data. When
saving multiple records of same model the records arrays should be
just numerically indexed without the model key.
