How do I display all comments for a post.

I have 2 tables, posts and comments. I have setup posts hasMany
comments and comments belongsTo posts model relations. I am using a
foreign key in the comments table pointing back to the post id.

I want to display the Post and the all related comments. At the
moment I can display the post and a specified comment by using the
View code below. How do I display all the comments for a post?


View Code:
<?php
$i = 0;
foreach ($posts as $post):
$class = null;
if ($i++ % 2 == 0) {
$class = ' altrow';
}
?>
<div class="homepage<?php echo $class;?>">
<p><h3><?php echo $post['Post']['title']; ?></h3></p>
<p><?php echo $post['Post']['body']; ?></p><br />

<!-- Comments below -->
<p><?php echo $post['Comment']['0']['body'];?></p>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>


This is the pr() output:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Post] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[title] => A title once again
[body] => And the post body follows.
[created] => 2011-03-17 09:15:40
[modified] =>
)

[Comment] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[post_id] => 2
[title] => COMMENTSA title once again
[body] => AndCOMMENTS the post body
follows.
[created] => 2011-03-22 16:31:03
[modified] =>
)

[1] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[post_id] => 2
[title] =>
[body] => This is another comment for the
first post
[created] => 2011-03-22 17:28:34
[modified] => 2011-03-22 17:28:34
)
