In the blog tutorial, they use the save method both to save or update an existing record. I tried to take that idea for my application and had some trouble:
My model is the following, with all default table names (i.e id is the primary key) class Manufacturer extends AppModel { var $name = "Manufacturer"; var $validate = Array (/*validation stuff*/); //some other methods } And the controller is as follows class ManufacturersController extends AppController { var $name = "Manufacturers"; var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form','Javascript'); var $components = array('Session'); function edit($id = 0) { if ($id) { $this->Manufacturer->set($this->data); $this->Manufacturer->set('id',$id); /*try to update the record*/ $this->Manufacturer->save(); } } } In the edit function I set the id attribute for the Manufacturer model as stated in the documentation; with this, the "save" method should update rather than create a new records. Altough, the application issues the following error message (here key 1 is the primary key, and 12 is a value of an existing id in the database table): Warning (512): SQL Error: 1062: Duplicate entry '12' for key 1 $sql = "INSERT INTO `manufacturers` (`titulo`,`descripcion_es`,`descripcion_uk`,`descripcion_it`,`id`) VALUES ('F222','xxx,'xxx','xxxx',12)" Wich attribute I have to set in order of the save method generate a UPDATE query instead of an INSERT one?
