Hey
Name refers to the name of the model, you may also be interested in $useTable = 'table_name' to specify a table name other than the plural of your model name.
As for referring to two database tables in one view, you don't necessarily need to have two controllers for this but you should have two models. Let assume you have a User model and a UserType model (Where the users table has a field named user_type_id)
In your users model
public $belongsTo = array('UserType');
In your user type model
public $hasMany = array('User');
The query
public $belongsTo = array('UserType');
In your user type model
public $hasMany = array('User');
The query
$users = $this->User->find('all', array('contain' => array('UserType'))); // Assuming recursive is -1 in your AppModel
Then you can access to the UserType like such
foreach($users as $user) {
echo $user['UserType']['name'];
echo $user['User']['username'];
}
Then you can access to the UserType like such
foreach($users as $user) {
echo $user['UserType']['name'];
echo $user['User']['username'];
}
Hope this helps

Hi,--
I have just started cakephp and got working an example.
if you look at a hello world example from cakephp then I have these files.
I have a table name called users and looking at the blog tutorial that name users should refer to a database name .
q1)My example works but what is correct? Is the name 'users' a table or databasename?
q2)How do I refer to 2 database tables in the 1 view as do I need another model and controller for every database table I access?
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog/part-two.html
<?php
class User extends AppModel
{
var $name='User';
}
?>
<?php
class UsersController extends AppController
{
var $name='Users';
function index()
{
}
}
?>
<html>
<?php
/*http://127.0.0.1/cakephp/users/ */
echo "Hello World";
?>
