Re: Empty records in database

Ok, i think i found the origin of the problem, but not the reason or
the solution.

As i said this is an online car selling site, so every time the
someone is viewing a car i was updating an database field calld 'view'
to increment the number of views for this car. To do this i was using,
in the view method of the controller :

$this->Post->saveField('view', $view+1);

I tried to remove this line and im not getting anymore those empty
posts, but as i said i still have to understand why this was
happening.
