Wow, I'm loving cakePHP and have made a ton of progress. What I'm trying to figure out now is the best approach for the xml/view/save.
I have my xml loading and figured out and my form, I'm thinking : A) do I use the bake utility to create a concrete version of my model (assume to has all the data members from my table) and then : 1) read the xml 2) use the concrete version of my model and pass it to the view via the controller 3) view uses an instance of the model to pre-populate the form 4) upon submit use the standard cake validation etc and write the model to my database. Or do I B) Use the associative array version of my model and populate it with xml : 1) read the xml 2) use the associate array version of the model and hope I spell all the column names correctly Steps 3 & 4 are same as above. I'm a little nervous about trying to populate the "dynamic" model that will be initial empty, maybe its because I come from a java background. Is baking the model the preferred approach ? Thoughts on this approach ? Cheers, Grant --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
