Re: Problem with form helper

what happens when you do it the other way . . .

in controller . . .. . . .
$contacts = $this->Contact->find('all', array(
'conditions' => array(
'Contact.user_id' => $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id')
));
$this->set('contacts', $contacts);

in view . . . .
foreach($contacts as $contact) {
echo $form->input($contact['Contact']['name']);
}

this is the way I usually do this type of view setup . .. i don't use
array integers

i may be off on this, so somebody more cakephp involved, could help
you
