Re: Form data not available in controller
Well, I tried all your suggestions over the weekend, and none of them panned out. count($_POST) tells me the post array is empty, and likewise there is nothing in $this-params['form'] or $this-data. So thanks for the help, but I now suspect the problem lies in my Apache rewrite rules. The site is in a shared hosting environment, and the DocumentRoot directive is not enabled, so I had to write a more complex rewrite rule to get my URL's in proper shape. I'm no Apache expert, so it was a cut and paste job, and I've read that there are situations in which POST data can be inadvertently dumped during rewrites. Anyway, thanks for the assistance, but this deserves a new thread, so I'll repost if I'm still getting nowhere.

Re: Form data not available in controller
Sorry, I just meant the error message I added in my controller (the flash message in the else clause) i.e. cakephp doesn't think there's anything in $this-data. In your controller, did you try this : $this-Model-create(); $this-Model-save($this-data); instead of : $this-Model-create($this-data); $this-Model-save(); Since you say that data are POSTed, $this-data is filled. Seems that something is wrong in the save part of your code. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: Form data not available in controller
- Please debug the $this-params['form'] and $this-data in your
controller's action and take a look at it if something is not working
properly

Hey everyone,
I'm a cakephp newbie putting together my first project. I'm trying to
save form data to my database through a form generated by the
formHelper in a view element. The problem I'm having is that $this-
data is apparently empty when I try to access it from my controller.
I've checked my HTTP headers, and my form data is indeed being POSTed.
I've followed all of cakephp's naming conventions and the framework
does have proper access to the database. When I submit the form, the
controller branches to display the error message in my view, along
with the following:
1 query took 2 ms
Nr Query Error AffectedNum. rows Took (ms)
1 DESCRIBE `contacts` 6 6 2
Here's the relevant code:
Model:
class Contact extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Contact';
}
Controller:
class ContactsController extends AppController{
var $name = 'Contacts';
var $helpers = array('Html','Javascript','Form');
function add(){
if (!empty($this-data)){
if($this-Contact-create($this-data)
$this-Contact-save())
{
$this-flash('Your information has been
saved.','/');
}
}
else{
$this-flash('An error has ocurred. Please contact us
directly at:
info (at) shrineaudio (dot) com.','/');
}
}
}
Form:
div id=contactsdiv
h2contact us/h2
?php
echo $form-create('Contact');
echo $form-input('name', array('label' = 'span*Name:/span'));
echo $form-input('email', array('label' =
'span*Email:/span'));
echo $form-input('phone', array('label' = 'spanPhone:/span'));
echo $form-input('message', array('type' = 'textinput','label' =
'span class=leftalign*Tell us about your project:/
span','div'='leftalign'));
echo $form-submit('submitbutton.gif');
echo $form-end();
?
/div
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As you can see, I essentially
copied the code for my model and controller from the blog tutorial, so
I'm at a loss as to explain why it isn't working. Thanks a lot!
