If you want just a single row, use find('first', ...). If you really
want just the ID, use the field() method:
$this->set(
'wantsAccess',
$this->Teacher->field(
'id',
array(
'Teacher.user_id' => $this->Auth->user('id')
)
)
);
This will return just the ID (no array). Note that you don't put the
'conditions' key because that 2nd param is *only* for conditions.
Another bit of advice: I've gotten in the habit of naming my vars much
more specifically (ie. $user_id rather than $wantsAccess) in order to
keep things clearer months down the road when I need to make changes
(and curse my lack of comments ;-)
