Hello, I'm new to CakePHP and PHP in general. I turned to the mailing list for help because I'm stuck and couldn't find what I need from searching the internet, so I hope you guys could help me out. [Sorry if this happens to turn out too easy. Like I said, I'm new to Cake and PHP in general, so be nice. ;) ]
I'm building an application that would connect serially to a device. As a user can opt to have different device configurations, I made a model named "settings" that have the following fields: | id | port_direction | port_value | etc. | 1 | 00 | 00 | . | 2 | 01 | 02 | . How do I map these rows to a column of another table containing the commands corresponding to the "settings" fields? | id | command_name | command_code | 1 | port_direction | 1201 | 2 | port_value | 1202 Updating each of the "settings" fields, requires accessing the corresponding element in the "commands" table. I can't really think of an association to connect the two tables (I don't think the "commands" table can really be classified as a model, but more of a simple list), as each "setting" would require using *all* elements of the commands table (hasOne and belongsTo is one-to-one, HATBM would create an extremely large table with repeating relationships). What do you suggest I do to be able to access the "commands" table from the "settings" model? Thanks in advance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
