Re: Using PHP date function in Models

Jep, as you experienced you cannot use dynamic stuff in the "static" part of php classes

You need to overwrite constructor for this.

In my Model, I'm trying to associate 2 different things with a Course, using hasMany.  The idea is that there are 'Courseinstances', which are just sets of dates on which the Course runs, and 'Courseinstancesupcoming', which are future dates only.  I came up with the following (in Course.php):

public $hasMany = array(
'Courseinstance' => array(
'className'     => 'Courseinstance',
'foreignKey'    => 'course_id',
'order'     => 'datestart ASC'
),
'Courseinstanceupcoming' => array(
'className'     => 'Courseinstance',
'foreignKey'    => 'course_id',
'order'     => 'datestart ASC',
'conditions' => array(
'datestart > ' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
  )
)
);

Now, I'm not sure if this is a good thing to be even trying to do, but when I run it, I get the following error:

Error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';'
File: C:\wamp\www\RNNI\site\app\Model\Course.php

I tried various things, but got the same error.  Then I tried adding the following line:

var $date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

and this is now throwing an error instead (same error, but now on this line instead of the hasMany line).

If I do 

var $date = 'testing';

 

instead, it copes fine.  Is there something which prevents me from using the PHP date() function in a model in this way?

And if anyone can suggest a solution to the initial problem of having 2 types of objects in the hasMany, that'd also be good, but it's not so urgent, as I can work around that one.

Thanks in advance for any help!
