Re: Trouble fetching database information
Obviously, User model is not used in SupplierController, i.e. you're
missing the following
var $uses = array('User');
In your controller. That's why Undefined property error occurs when
you do $this-User.
Hope that helps!

Hi all,
I'm new to CakePHP (but not PHP) and I have followed the 5 part series
by IBM to get me going on Cake PHP. I'm building a mini CMS for a
client, and I am stuck... here's how the system should work:
the client logs in and adds a supplier. The supplier is added to the
database and has a field user_id which needs to automatically populate
with the logged in user's id.
My problem is that when I try to get the userid, I get the following
error:
Notice (8): Undefined property: SuppliersController::$User [APP/
controllers/suppliers_controller.php, line 27]
Fatal error: Call to a member function findByUsername() on a non-
object in /var/www/online_contractors/app/controllers/
suppliers_controller.php on line 27
In the supplier controller I attempt to fetch the userid as so:
$results=$this-User-findByUsername($username);
$this-set('user', $results['User']);
The username is what gets written to session when logged in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Are the User and Supplier models associated? If so, the proper way to
call methods of User would be
$this-Supplier-User-findByUserName($username);
The username is what gets written to session when logged in.
You could also store the ID, name, etc. of the user in the session and
avoid having to look it up later.

Re: Trouble fetching database information
Hello and thank you so much for your help!!
Brian,
I took your advice and added the userid to the session, however, I'm
clearly doing something wrong because in the Supplier controller I
call the session with:
$userid = $this-Session-read('userid');
However in the view, I enter echo $userid;
and I receive the following error:
Notice (8): Undefined variable: userid [APP/views/suppliers/add.ctp,
line 6]
I realise this is most definately a newbie error, and I appreciate all
your patience!
Thanks again,
Mathieu

When you want to pass variables from the controller to the view, use
$this-set(). Otherwise, you're creating a variable that's outside the
view scope.
$this-set('user_id', $this-Session-read('userid'));
This will add the key value to the $viewVars array. It'll be
available in the view because there's an extract() call in there
somewhere. In any case, it's all transparent. Use set() and then your
echo will work fine.
... unless there's no user_id in the session, of course ;-)

Re: Trouble fetching database information
Thank you so much! You can't imagine how much I appreciate your help -
I'm sure you remember how hard it was to wrap your head around MVC
when you're used to straight PHP!!
Thanks again!
