Hi,

I'm new to cakePHP and OOP.

The code below is from 
http://book.cakephp.org/view/875/x1-3-Collection#!/view/977/Controller-Methods.
Can someone please explain the postConditons below? I don't understand
how can num_items key contain '>=' and referrer key contain 'LIKE'.
What does the word compact in find('all', compact('condtions')) mean?
Thank you.

/*
Contents of $this->data
array(
   'Order' => array(
       'num_items' => '4',
       'referrer' => 'Ye Olde'
   )
)
*/

//Let’s get orders that have at least 4 items and contain ‘Ye Olde’
$condtions=$this->postConditions(
   $this->data,
   array(
       'num_items' => '>=',
       'referrer' => 'LIKE'
   )
);
$orders = $this->Order->find("all",compact('condtions'));
