Re: Doubt in cake php

On the other hand, to answer your question, you can always use:

ClassRegistry::init('ModelName')->find(...)

to read data from a model in a view.

I often use this approach in cached elements, that display things like
"yesterdays stats" where the read access is needed but only once per
day then cached. In an instance like that it is "helpful" to
encapsulate the whole data finding and displaying in one piece of
code.

Of course this goes against Cakes MVC approach, but it's your app and
if it works for you then great!
