the most important things to understand when starting are PHP concepts, like how autoloading and namespaces work. that way, if you need to find something, you will at least know where to look (IDEs help with this as you can usually command+click and it will open the file::method for you) |

I then have: $foo = Chronos::create(strtotime($from)); |

it is an I18n\Time object |

Like they are saying, I wouldn't get too caught up in that. I've been using CakePHP for around a year and I still don't have everything figured out. Heck, I just learned that the ORM can be used as standalone, which to me is huge... |

from there are you want to add and expand your app you will learn more about cake |

Yeah, I’m already following Lynda’s tutorial on the subject (https://www.lynda.com/CakePHP-tutorials/CakePHP-3-Essential-Training/452749-2.html), which is helping somewhat. Maybe I’ll do CakePHP’s tutorial after that. |

sturm - don't bog yourself down with the core files, do the tutorial and then you'll see what Cake can do for you |

I don’t think you need to understand that dispatching process yet :slightly_smiling_face: |

I mean, I’m already confused just following /index.php to /webroot/index.php. I stop there because I can’t figure out what that file is doing. I can’t even imaging delving deeper into what appears to be a rat’s nest of classes and method calls and such. |

@sturm jarard01's suggestion to start with the tutorial is a good one. not only will it help you get familiar with cake itself, but it uses some basic OOP which is pretty easy to understand if you know a little OOP (e.g., extending AppController, extending core classes, etc.) |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 19:11 |
jarard01 |
let me try that |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 19:10 |
jeremyharris |
jarard01 what have you tried? usually it accepts any strtotime string |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 19:10 |
jeremyharris |
@sturm it might be a good exercise in learning, although yes it is quite large and can be daunting. For me, whenever I needed to understand how a feature worked under the hood, I would delve into that specific thing. Eventually, I touched most of the framework |

As a newbie to object-oriented PHP, should I even bother trying to untangle how CakePHP works? It look so complex. Maybe I don’t need to know all of its nuts and bolts? |

if I have a date in the format '1 Jul 2017' how can I create a chronos object |

nice ill give ti a shot |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 18:26 |
jeremyharris |
then that would probably do it |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 18:26 |
devito |
yea |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 18:25 |
jeremyharris |
I’m assuming here you’d let it fail silently |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 18:25 |
jeremyharris |
the invalid login entity would fail to save if Users didn’t have username |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 18:23 |
jeremyharris |
you could do a very simple rule that just checks that it exists, e.g. $rules->add(function($entity) { return $this->Users->exists([‘username’ => $entity->username; ]) }, ‘usernameExists’); |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 18:23 |
devito |
making a invalid login table without calling the users table |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 18:22 |
devito |
I want to ensure a username exists in users table before i save the new record |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 18:21 |
jeremyharris |
what are you trying to do :P |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 18:21 |
jeremyharris |
waiiit nevermind ignore me |
| # |
Jul 6th 2017, 18:20 |
jeremyharris |
actually exists in uses arbitrary columns too |

Jul 6th 2017, 18:20 |
