Hi,
Here's my Category model:
<code>
<?php
class Category extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Category';
var $displayField = 'cat_name';
var $validate = array(
'catList' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
'id' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
'cat_name' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
);
var $hasMany = array ('Product' => array(
'className' => 'Product',
'conditions'=> '',
'order'=> '',
'foreignKey'=>'cat_id')
);
}
?>
</code>
Product Model:
<code>
<?php
class Product extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Product';
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array ('Category' => array(
'className' => 'Category',
'conditions'=> '',
'order'=> '',
'foreignKey'=>'cat_id')
);
}
?>
</code>
ASCII code? Do you mean this?
Categories:
+------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(5) | | PRI | NULL |
auto_increment |
| cat_name | varchar(50) | | | | |
| cat_parent | int(5) | | | 0
| |
+------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
Products:
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(20) | | PRI | NULL |
auto_increment |
| cat_id | int(5) | | | 0 |
|
| productname | varchar(100) | | | |
|
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
Thanks.
