Try
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/rest.html#accepting-input-in-other-formats
So, by following
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/rest.html#the-simple-setup
//In app/Config/routes.php...Router::mapResources('seasons');
Router::parseExtensions(array('xml'));
and by adding RequestHandler component to AppController, XML input will be
auto-converted into $this->request->data --ready for saving.
Anyway, to convert XML to an array see
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-utility-libraries/xml.html#xml-api
