Re: getting many datasets with one form? (i.e. time-table)

Work out which models are involved and look at the relevant part on
the following page:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1031/Saving-Your-Data

I.e. are you saving many rows within one table
or many instances of one row with multiple related rows
or HABTM data?

All of the information is there and if you construct your form
correctly it will save with saveAll();, but you may need to loop
thorugh your data array if saving many instances of one row with many
related rows.
