I have just begun to set up my site and am running into trouble when trying to use the model associations.
My tables look like this. CREATE TABLE city ( id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMEMNT, name VARCHAR(50) ); CREATE TABLE users ( id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, username VARCHAR(50), city_id INT ); Each user will be linked to ONLY one city, and each city will have many users. So the best way I can think of to set up this model association is to use the hasAndBelongsToMany for the cities so each city will be assigned to a user. I have my models set up something like this. (By the way when a user signs up a city_id is automatically assigned to him that is the same as the id field in the city table) <?php class City extends AppModel { var $name = 'City'; var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'User' => array('className' => 'User', 'conditions' => '', order' => '', 'dependent' => true, 'foreignKey' => 'city_id' } I guess what I am confused about is how to properly set this up so design will be easy. I am confused on the foreign key as well, is that correct? My goal to post stories that belong to the user's city_id. Do I have this set up right or is there a better way to do what I am trying to accomplish? Thank you for any insight on the topic. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
