Re: checkbox groups in cakephp 1.2

thanks for the response. thats not quite what I want. Each user can
have multiple ethnicities, so its a many to many relationship. In my
models, I have User hadMany UsersEthnicities, Ethnicity hasMany
UsersEthnicity and UsersEthnicity belongsTo User and Ethnicity. Is
this correct?

I agree with you about the sigular ids but thats the least of my
concerns right now.
