$this->set('yourvar', $somedata) will create a variable called $yourvar in the view, with the passed data. $this->data is model data that is from/for a form - all of the FormHelper functions look at $this->data to prepopulate from, and all the data they submit comes into your controller under $this->data.
So basically, you should not have $this->set( 'data', $something ), because it becomes confusing having a $data variable and $this->data, which are quite different in scope and usage. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
