Default Values and Randomly Get a Line

Hi,

wow. I'm testing so much on CakePHP. I absolutely love MVC frameworks.

Today i've run into a new problem. I've created an application, but:

- Db fields are id, name, text, date, status. id and date are set by mysql. Name and text should be entered by the user. Status should be set to 0 for every new entry. How can i do that? Of course, i can set a default value in mysql, but if i would set it from the application?

- Then, I need a page that if opened will output a random text (WHERE status = 1). In a normal php script i'd use something like:

$query = "SELECT * from table where status=1";

$result = @mysql_query($query, db);

while ($row = @mysql_fetch_array($result))

    $numbers[] = $row[id];

And then get a random element from the numbers array. How to translate this in cakephp?

Thanks
