I'm not. I used "cake bake" to make a skeleton controller and view.
CakePHP automatically added all the fields to the add and edit views.
I removed the fields I don't want from the views, but the save()
function still tries to save an empty value for that field.
I tried to unset() the fields I didn't want from $this->data, but it
didn't stop CakePHP from saving an empty value into those fields.
By passing a list of the fields I want to the save() function, I'm
actually telling CakePHP not to save the other fields which is exactly
what I want.

Hi,
I have a table with a timestamp field which is managed by MySQL.
This is the definition of the field:
`fieldname` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
When a new record is inserted, MySQL fills in the default value for the
field.
When the record is updated, MySQL updates the field value accordingly.
I need to tell CakePHPnot to include that fieldin the inserts and updates,
otherwise MySQL does not assign the values it should.
The timestamp field is just an example since the behavior I'm looking for
would be needed for any computed field in the table.
Thanks in advance

Re: How to exclude a field from inserts and updates
While this works fine, and makes your app more secure... the real
question is why are you passing fields that do not need saving to the
controller? or why do you even have them in the form?

How to exclude a field from inserts and updates
Hi, I have a table with a timestamp field which is managed by MySQL. This is the definition of the field: `fieldname` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP When a new record is inserted, MySQL fills in the default value for the field. When the record is updated, MySQL updates the field value accordingly. I need to tell CakePHP not to include that field in the inserts and updates, otherwise MySQL does not assign the values it should. The timestamp field is just an example since the behavior I'm looking for would be needed for any computed field in the table.

Re: How to exclude a field from inserts and updates
The answer was to pass an array of field names to save().
save($this->data, true, array('field_a', 'field_b'));
That way field_c is excluded from the save.
Thanks!

Re: How to exclude a field from inserts and updates
I'm passing $this->data to the save() function.
The controller is the default made by "cake bake" which includes the
following in the add() function:
function add() {
if (!empty ($this->data)) {
$this->Status->create();
if ($this->Status->save($this->data)) {
...
If I take a field param out of the $this->data array, will it be
excluded from the insert or update?

Re: How to exclude a field from inserts and updates
Is the field in the data array? Cake also has a white list of fields param you can (and should) pass to save(). On Oct 7, 7:00 pm, "R.
