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

In that case, the bit of the page I sent you yesterday that is
relevent is saveAll() with a required $this->data structure of

Array
(
[TimeReport] => Array(
[0] => Array
(
[start] => 09:00
[end] => 10:00
[text] => Mathematics
)
[1] => Array
(
[start] => 10:00
[end] => 11:00
[text] => Geography
)
)
)

Remember when creating each row in your form view to include a unique
number for each row

for($i = 1; $i <= 31; $i++) {
echo $this->Form->input('TimeReport.'. $i .'.start');
echo $this->Form->input('TimeReport.'. $i .'.end');
echo $this->Form->input('TimeReport.'. $i .'.text');
}
