Re: Create database table using controller.

What is your issue here? Was the table not created, was the model not
loaded, was the data not saved?

Also do look into the CakePHP naming conventions for tables, models
and controllers. Following those will make your life a lot easier.
http://book.cakephp.org/view/22/CakePHP-Conventions

Another thing is that your customer table has not primary key!

So I sincerly recomend you to read the CakePHP book first!
Enjoy,
John
