Re: REgarding using Mysql functions like NOW(), CURDATE() etc

Sorry I just addressed your specific problem. As your cuestion about being able to call a mysql function, I think you are missing the point about cake's database abstraction layer so your application would become database dependant. If that is not an issue for you, try this link:

http://rafaelbandeira3.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/using-mysql-functions-with-cakephp-while-model-creation/

Finally if you are hopping that cake allow you to make mysql function calls inside a query you should read this
https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/5345 as stateted that "it would actually make SQL injection a feature"

Yes correct.

and I would very much like to believe, that cakephp already has some
method(s) to harness the power of the multitude of Mysql functions
present here

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/functions.html

So regarding using  Mysql functions in Cakephp. has it been documented
somewhere ?

I tried

 $this->data['User']['signedup'] = 'CURDATE()';

$this->User->save($this->data)

and

                       $this->data['User']['signedup'] = '!-CURDATE
()';
$this->User->save($this->data)

But it did not work !
