Hi Bill, First a double check: Is the component Findcost only related to the controller Costs? If so it might be easier to manage and cleaner code to write the functionality into a method on the Costs controller.
If it is used by more than one controller then I think will do what you want: class CostsController extends AppController { var $components = array('FindCost'); function index() { $this->FindCost->calculate( ???); } // Rest of code class FindcostComponent { var $model; var $myarray = array(); function startup($controller) { $this-> model = new NameOfModel; // Not sure if there's a way to tie this in automagially } function calculate( ??? ) { $this->myarray[$itemcost]=100; $this->model->save($this->myarr); } Cheers, AD7six Looking for CakePHP info?
