I'm trying to debug a problem with one of my controllers where $this->data is (almost) empty (more on that in a sec) and so tossed a bunch of Debugger::log statements in the action. When I checked the debug.log I found that the entries are being repeated.
The action starts out like this. I put several debugger statements in because I was trying to figure out what was happening to $this->data. public function add($media_type_slug = null) { $this->set('user_id', $this->Session->read('User.id')); debugger::log('controller -- first'); debugger::log($this->data); ... // more stuff, and several other Debugger::log() statements debug.log: 2009-01-11 23:17:17 Debug: "controller -- first" 2009-01-11 23:17:17 Debug: null 2009-01-11 23:17:19 Debug: "controller -- first" 2009-01-11 23:17:19 Debug: null 2009-01-11 23:17:21 Debug: "controller -- first" 2009-01-11 23:17:21 Debug: null 2009-01-11 23:17:50 Debug: "controller -- first" 2009-01-11 23:17:50 Debug: array( "Record" => array(), "Discipline" => array() ) 2009-01-11 23:17:50 Debug: "controller -- second" 2009-01-11 23:17:50 Debug: array( "Record" => array(), "Discipline" => array() ) 2009-01-11 23:17:50 Debug: "controller -- third" 2009-01-11 23:17:50 Debug: array( "Record" => array(), "Discipline" => array() ) The first 3 occur the first time I hit the action. $this->data is properly empty. What's weird, though, is that Debugger places 3 entries, each 2 seconds apart, in the log. Now, when I submit the form at 23:17:50, I don't see that first one repeated. So, what's up with that? It can't be that Cake is running through the method 3 times the first time, can it? Because the other Debugger stateents are all inside an if(empty($this->data)) block. Anyway, besides all of that, as you can see, when the form is submitted, I'm only seeing the names of the 2 models used in the form, but no data at all. Anyone have any ideas on that? I'm well and truly stumped! The form is nothing special and looks like: echo $form->create('Record', array('action' => 'add', 'type' => 'file')); echo $form->hidden('Record.user_id', array('value' => $user_id)); echo $form->hidden('Record.media_type_id', array('value' => $media_type['MediaType']['id'])); echo $form->hidden('Record.media_type_slug', array('value' => $media_type['MediaType']['slug'])); ... echo $form->end('send it'); --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
