Hey guys,
I need help with a problem i ran into...
I have three tables -
Table1:districts
collumns: id,district
Table2:madnals
collumns: id,district_id,mandal
Table3:invoices
collumns: id,mandal_id,invno
with grigri's help from a previous post of mine i was able to populate
a dropdown list with the districts names while accessing the Mandals
model.
What I'am trying to do now is create a view.ctp that will display
following data in a tabular format-
mandal | district | invno
I wish to do this accessing my Invoice model.
The code in my Invoice model is so:
class Invoice extends AppModel
{
var $belongsTo = array(
'Mandal' =>
array('className' => 'Mandal',
'conditions' => '',
'order' => '',
'foreignKey' => 'mandal_id'));
}
The invoices_controller code is so:
class InvoicesController extends AppController
{
var $uses = array('District','Mandal');
function view()
{
$this->set('invoices', $this->Invoice->find('all'),$this->paginate
());
}
}
I print the data into the view.ctp using a loop and following
variables:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Invoice</th>
<th>District</th>
<th>Mandal</th>
</tr>
<!-- Here is where we loop through our $invoices array, printing out
invoice info -->
<?php foreach ($invoices as $invoice): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $invoice['Invoice']['invno']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $invoice['Mandal']['district_id']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $invoice['Mandal']['mandal']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>
the Mandal name appears as expected, but i cant get the district name
to appear, instead the district_id itself appears as a number.
Invoice | District | Mandal
1 12 Bhongir
(correct) (id appears (correct)
not name)
Can someone please help me with a solution to this problem? I used
roundabout methods for now, but my code is getting way to complex. I
know the solution has to do something with the model.....can someone
please help? I would greatly appreciate it. :)
