RE: Extract help - Possible solution?

[Dave Maharaj :: WidePixels.com]

 
What I have done is

$strippedCertifications = $this->data;
                  $strippedCertifications = Set::extract($this->data,
'Certification.Certification.Certification.{n}');
                  $arr = array('Certification' => array ('Certification' =>
$strippedCertifications));
                  $this->$strippedCertifications->set($arr);
                        if ($this->Certification->validates()) {
                        return true;
                        }
                        return false;

So I get the values from the array only then rebuild the array I need it and
it validates now.

But is there a cleaner way to do this based on the code above?

I am using the Wizard component and validating HABTM but the Wizard spits
out an array like this:

debug($this->data);
 
[Certification] => Array
        (
            [Certification] => Array
                (
                    [Certification] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => sdgsdfg
                        )

                )

        )
This will not validate for some reason...i think because of the triple
[Certification] My validation compares submitted values against possible
values in the db with

function checkValues($data)
      {
          if (!empty($this->data)) {
              $results =
array_diff($this->data['Certification']['Certification'],
$this->find('list', array('fields' => 'id', 'order' => 'id ASC')));
              if (empty($results)) {
                  return true;
              } else {
                  return false;
              }
          }
      }

So my question is how can I strip out the extra [Certification] to maye the
array look like

[Certification] => Array
                (
                    [Certification] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => sdgsdfg
                        )

                )

Then pass it to the model for validation?

Thanks
