slifox: it helps you with data retrival (how is that spelled?), validation, html+form-generation, date/time-conversion and soooooo much more |

slifox: its a steep learning curve but its well worth it. And if you're new to PHP, its "good" that you won't learn all the nasty ways people usually do things without a framework |

I see I've been coding for a couple of weeks learning my way in php but I understand cakephp can help me |

slifox: pgcd: but it is worth the effort |

slifox: cakephp is a very different approach at coding php. if you re "just" a php coder you will have to learn a bit |

slifox: you should look at the tutorial in the book |

poluta1: so your app_controller gets the session data, and sets the variable in the model for you to use "later on" |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:20 |
stevieboy |
thestaff: which action is called after submit? (look in the first form-tag) |

hello I'm new to cakephp I wanted to know how a php framework works do I just upload the files to my server and include the php files for specific functions? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:19 |
Martz |
poluta1: yep. thats what I recommended first, but you can keep it all in 1 model if you only need it there. Use app_model, app_controller - and get the controller to set a variable for you |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:19 |
thestaff |
stevieboy, so know the form tags are there but doesn't submit |

Aug 7th 2008, 04:19 |
stevieboy |
its really great |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:19 |
stevieboy |

stevieboy: instead of editing 100's of links to /users/view/$id |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:18 |
Martz |
stevieboy: you can make a link like this $html->link('My link', array('controller' => 'user', 'action' => 'view', $id)); and then in the future if you want to change the URLs for /users/ to /members/ all you need to do is edit your routes file, and all your links still work |

Martz: can i assign $captcha to AppModel class model ? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:18 |
stevieboy |
is it just the "url-string" to "array (controller,action,id)" ? |

TonkaTruck: remember, you're in this for money. You can sell something with stubs so long as you replace the "[TODO]" with "Feature coming soon" when you package it and sell it |

forgive me but i still cant figure out the "reverse" in the reverse routing |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:17 |
Martz |
so painful to see people still blundering along without a framework |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:17 |
Martz |
i've been lurking in the ##php channel |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:16 |
achew22 |
I have the model::url too but I use link much more often |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:16 |
achew22 |
in my models I take it even one step further -- Model::link($id) which does the whole kit and kaboodle |

TonkaTruck: i second achew22s recommendation. Reverse routing is amazing ;) |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:15 |
TonkaTruck |
achew22: this is really great. |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:15 |
achew22 |
TonkaTruck: yep |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 04:15 |
TonkaTruck |
achew22: yeah that is fantastic. So is $this->redirect() reverse routable too? |
