Question

Running into another issue that I just seem cant to find any information what could be causing.

I am declaring variable $makes and inside the view its not finding it.

here is my current code:

function makemodel($id = null) {
    $this->Make->id = $id;

    $makes = $this->Make->find('all', array(
        'conditions' => array('id' => $id),
        'contain' => array('Makemodel' => array('Road'))
        )
    );
}

}
?>

I have also tried this: $this->set->(‘makes’,$this->Make->find(script here));

Any advice would be appreciated thanks!

Are there any reference material other than cakePHP’s book?

Assuming that the find call is working correctly, you have to pass the data from your controller to your view using the set() method.

    function makemodel($id = null) {
    $this->Make->id = $id;

    $makes = $this->Make->find('all', array(
        'conditions' => array('id' => $id),
        'contain' => array('Makemodel' => array('Road'))
        )
    );
    $this->set(compact('makes'));
}
