Hi Grant, I should have stated the reason. I was trying to set up an automated way to populate my modified_by field with the logged-in user name. Thus:
$model->data[$model->name]['modifiedby'] = $_SESSION['member']; but using cake, rather than PHP. It occurred to me that there might be all sorts of data I might wish to pass to the behavior. It seems rather limited in being able to receive variables from the controller. Maybe I've misunderstood this, but if the Behavior cannot receive and manipulate data very easily then there doesn't seem much point in having the Behaviors facility.
