I am trying to determine the best way to grab out the signed in user_id for adding items to another belongsto table. Is it ok to use the session data for this?
I could easily use this as a hidden field in the form data. $session->read('Auth.User.id') ? But, does this belong in a controller? What is the best and most secure way to do this? I have a Users table with id, name and password I have a Authors table with id, user_id, address, city, state, zip Users won't be able to access each others account data. So after baking the app I would remove the User.name dropdown. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
