Re: Manually set date field using a string "YYYY-MM-DD" does not work?

Hi psybear83,

Completing waht cricket said..

After using $this->Model->set(); you need to use $this->Model->save();
if you want to save the value to DB.

In your case this should work:
$this->Contract->set('date', '2010-11-11');
$this->Contract->save();

Ref: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1031/Saving-Your-Data

Hope this helps.
