Hi all,

After a long search, I posted here for help, and after even more
search I found the solution I was looking for.  In the PhotoController
add() I am passing the data from the recently saved Photo row to the
view with:

function add() {
                if (!empty($this->data)) {
                        $this->Photo->create();
                        $this->Photo->set('user_id', 
$this->AuthExt->user('id'));

                        if ($this->Photo->save($this->data)) {
                                $this->Session->setFlash(__('The photo has been 
saved', true));
                                // Pass the data that was just added to the 
database back to the
"add" view so that a thumbnail can be displayed.
                                $id = $this->Photo->getLastInsertId();
                                
$this->set('photoObjJustSaved',$this->Photo->findById($id));
                        } else {
                                $this->Session->setFlash(__('The photo could 
not be saved. Please,
try again.', true));
                        }
                }
}


So I guess my question now is, is using:

$id = $this->Photo->getLastInsertId();
                                
$this->set('photoObjJustSaved',$this->Photo->findById($id));

the best way to do it?  It seems like another database query when one
might not be required.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hello,

I have a form to add a Photo in my "add" view (add.ctp).  I have two
fields in the view:

echo $form->hidden('Photo.user_id',array('value'=>$user['User']
['id']));
echo $form->input('file', array('type' =>  'file'));

Although there are only two fields here, I am using a Helper that
takes the uploaded image and saves file_name, file_type, file_size and
some other columns to the database.

I would like to be able to use this data immediately after the user
submits the form to render the image the image for the user (i.e. in
add.ctp again).

When I try $this->data['Photo'] I just get:
array(
         "user_id" =>  "1",
         "file" =>  array()
)

Which is simply the data I submitted.  I would like to pass back the
data from my PhotoController via my add() function, but I can't quite
figure out how.  Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Hello

We can use:
$saved =  $this->Photo->save($this->data)

and you will have the saved data into $saved.
