Re: not understanding simple HABTM save/delete

After hours and hours of frustration, I've figured it out. It wasn't fun, but
maybe not having my questions answered makes me a better programmer. For
future reference, it's actually pretty simple. I started with a new app with
my existing models and by baking new controllers/views I was able to figure
it out:

Since I'm applying a 'Label' to an 'Item', I just save() to my 'Item' model:

$this->Item->save($data);

And pr($data) looks like this:

Array
(
[Item] => Array
(
[id] => 1
)
[Label] => Array
(
[Label] => Array
(
[0] => 4
[1] => 5
[2] => 7
[3] => 8
)
)
)

I also found that delete() isn't necessary. Before the new
associations/records are inserted in 'items_labels' for a given 'item_id'
(in the case, it's 1), all of the existing records for that 'item_id' are
deleted.
