Re: Function documentation?

I have searched Google, CakePHP Google Group, API Controller
documentation (versions 1.2, 1.3), API AppController documentation
(versions 1.2, 1.3) and have found no useful information on the
parameters used by the index method. Search terms include "index
method", "index method" & documentation, "Index method" & syntax. I
ain't no dummy, and I don't expect to be spoon-fed.

Sure, my understanding isn't what it could be. That's why I read the
documentation. But reading alone does not create comprehension.
Actual use of the material to observe its effects is required as
well. But I can't try to recreate something I cannot find
documentation on.

Perhaps a more specific reference would be useful. I have read the
manual at least twice now, and I know I'm not ready for the exam.
