I think maybe the difference between what you and I was doing is that I was trying to save multiple "main" records at one time, whereas you were doing one.
$this->data[1]['Recipe']['name'] = 'Delicious apple pie'; $this->data[1]['Recipe']['serves'] = 6; $this->data[1]['Recipe']['valid'] = 1; $this->data[1]['Tag'][0]['tag_id']=4; $this->data[1]['Tag'][1]['tag_id']=2; $this->data[1]['Tag'][2]['tag_id']=3; $this->data[1]['Recipe']['name'] = 'Pork spare ribs'; $this->data[1]['Recipe']['id'] = 166; $this->data[1]['Recipe']['serves'] = 4; $this->data[1]['Recipe']['valid'] = 1; $this->data[1]['Tag'][0]['tag_id']=1; $this->data[1]['Tag'][1]['tag_id']=5; $this->data[1]['Tag'][2]['tag_id']=9; ------------------------------------------------------------- Once I added the hasMany ingredients that broke and I had to loop through the data and save each one individually: foreach ($this->data as $save) { $this->saveAll($save); } So $save would look like this: $save['Recipe']['name'] = 'Delicious apple pie'; $save['Recipe']['serves'] = 6; $save['Recipe']['valid'] = 1; $save['Tag'][0]['tag_id']=4; $save['Tag'][1]['tag_id']=2; $save['Tag'][2]['tag_id']=3; $save['Ingredient'][0]['name']='sugar'; $save['Ingredient'][1]['name']='apples'; and so on... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
