Re: bindModel

Thanks again.  So I have 2 followup questions.

Does the containable behavior apply for insert too?
In theory, bind/unbind should work according to documentation, no?

I will look more into contanable, it was next on my list to explore.  Thank you

You can set recursion and containment restrictively in app_model:

var $actsAs = array('Containable');

var $recursive = -1;

...then undo it as you need. Take a look at the section on the contain behaviour in the online book - http://book.cakephp.org/view/474/Containable - I'd recommend adopting it wholeheartedly. Once you get to grips with it you'll love it.

Thats a very good question.  In fact, I am still exploring CakePHP and trying to find out more about the ins and outs.  Anyway.  I did that and it worked.  However, my reasoning for not using associations in the model was the following:

If I do use association the model, then any select on Users table (model) will fetch the rest of the associated tables.  I know about recursive and I can specify its value.  But I am using Auth and the login function fetch everything associated to users eventhough it only needs username and password.  In addition  What if I only want a user and his/her profile, can I exclude Resume.  So these are the questions I had and didnot know the answer to.  So I thought my best route is to bind/unbind these associations.  Please let me know whether my reasoning is not valid.  And thank you for your reply.

Can I pose the question "Why are you not defining associations in your models?"  They are incredibly powerful.
