app model. But it doesn't get incremented as I press the refresh button in
the browser (new submit)
here's the code
//model post.php
class Post extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Post';
static $num = null;
static function getNumber() {
self::$num = self::$num + 1;
return self::$num;
}
}
//controller posts_controller.php
class PostsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Posts';
function processForm() {
$no = Post::getNumber();
$this->set('no', $no);
//debug($no);
}
}
//view process_form.ctp
<?
echo "generated number is " . $no;
?>
The generated number is always 1. Does that mean that everytime I hit this
controller action (processForm), a new Post model is created and static num
variable is always set to null ?
If that is so, how can I make a method that increment number in a model ??
Thanks
