Not sure if this is what you want to do but I have a view with 2 form
elements on it. I did get hung up because I usually use $this-Form-end
?php
echo $this-Form-create('User', array( 'action'='/add_staff'));?
fieldset
legend?php __('Admin Add Staff Member'); ?/legend
?php
echo $this-Form-input('id', array('label' = 'Select an existing
Student','options' = array( $users)));
echo By submitting this form you are giving the selected student
Administrative access;
echo $this-Form-hidden('group_id', array('value' = '1'));
echo br;
?
/fieldset
?php
echo $this-Form-submit('Add a Staff Member from an existing
Student', array('name' = 'submit'));
echo br;
echo -- OR -- Create a new profile for this Staff Member. ;
echo br;
?
?php echo $this-Form-create('User2', array(
'action'='/add_staff'));?
fieldset
legend?php __('Add a New Staff Member '); ?/legend
?php
echo $this-Form-input('first_name');
echo $this-Form-input('last_name');
echo $this-Form-input('username');
echo $this-Form-input('password');
echo $this-Form-input('email');
echo $this-Form-input('birthdate', array('label' = 'Date of
Birth', 'empty' = true, 'timeFormat' = '', 'minYear' = ( date('Y') - 70
), 'maxYear' = ( date('Y') - 3)));
echo $this-Form-input('address');
echo $this-Form-input('city');
echo $this-Form-input('state');
echo $this-Form-input('zip_code');
echo $this-Form-input('phone');
echo $this-Form-input('uniform_size', array( 'type' = 'select',
'options' = array( '' = 'Size ', '000' = 'Size 000', '00' =
'size 00', '0' = 'Size 0', '1' = 'Size 1', '2' = 'size 2' , '3' = 'Size
3', '4' = 'size 4', '5' = 'Size 5', '6' = 'Size 6')));
echo $this-Form-input('is_head', array('type'='checkbox'));
echo $this-Form-input('household_id');
echo $this-Form-hidden('group_id', array('value' = '1'));
echo $this-Form-input('school_id', array( 'value' =
$currentSchool , 'type' = 'hidden') );
?
/fieldset
?php
//echo $this-Form-end(__('Submit', true));
echo $this-Form-submit('Add a Staff Member', array('name' = 'submit'));
controller:
if (isset($this-params['form']['submit'])){
//check for first form
if ($this-params['form']['submit'] == Add a Staff Member from
an existing Student){
if ($this-User-save($this-data)) {
$this-Session-setFlash(__('The user has been saved',
true));
$this-redirect(array('action'='view_staff'));
} else {
$this-Session-setFlash(__('The user could not be saved.
Please, try again.', true));
}
//check for second form
}elseif ($this-params['form']['submit'] == 'Add a Staff
Member'){
//give value of second form (User2) to User so it can be
automatically saved
$this-data['User'] = $this-data['User2'];
//save the data
if ($this-User-save($this-data)) {
$this-Session-setFlash(__('The user has been saved',
true));
$this-redirect(array('action'='view_staff'));
} else {
$this-Session-setFlash(__('The user could not be saved.
Please, try again.', true));
}
}
}

I have a CakePHP form that lets a user select a variety of parameters.
What I want to do is let them select multiple choices on a few different
parameters, and then turn these into multiple submissions. My CakePHP model
is called 'Requests' so ideally what I want to do is have the user be able
to create multiple requests through one form submission - essentially a
'cross-product' of the options they choose.
I don't want/need anyone to write code for me but if someone could help me
think this problem through and give me a few pointers in the right
direction, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Disclaimer: I'm using CakePHP 1.1, and am unable to upgrade - this site
runs on the same machine as many others inside my company and there was
lots of hackery done and lots of shared files. Disclaimer #2, I am an
intern and brand new to CakePHP ;-)
