__construct()source public

__construct( array $options array() )

Constructor

Parameters

array $options optional array()

Optional load object properties.

Overrides

_arrayDiffAssoc()source protected

_arrayDiffAssoc( array $array1 , array $array2 )

Extended array_diff_assoc noticing change from/to NULL values.

It behaves almost the same way as array_diff_assoc except for NULL values: if one of the values is not NULL - change is detected. It is useful in situation where one value is strval('') ant other is strval(null) - in string comparing methods this results as EQUAL, while it is not.

Parameters

array $array1

Base array.

array $array2

Corresponding array checked for equality.

Returns

Difference as array with array(keys => values) from input array where match was not found.

_columns()source protected

_columns( array $Obj )

Formats Schema columns from Model Object.

Parameters

array $Obj

$Obj model object.

Returns

_compareIndexes()source protected

_compareIndexes( array $new , array $old )

Compare two schema indexes.

Parameters

array $new

array $old

Old indexes.

Returns

_compareTableParameters()source protected

_compareTableParameters( array $new , array $old )

Compare two schema files table Parameters.

Parameters

array $new

New indexes.

array $old

Old indexes.

Returns

_noPrefixTable()source protected

_noPrefixTable( string $prefix , string $table )

Trim the table prefix from the full table name, and return the prefix-less table.

Parameters

string $prefix

Returns

_requireFile()source protected

_requireFile( string $path , string $file )

Returns

generateTable()source public

generateTable( string $table , array $fields )

Returns

_mergeVars()source protected

_mergeVars( array $properties , string $class , boolean $normalize true )

Merges this objects $property with the property in $class' definition. This classes value for the property will be merged on top of $class'

This provides some of the DRY magic CakePHP provides. If you want to shut it off, redefine this method as an empty function.

Parameters

array $properties

The name of the properties to merge.

string $class

The class to merge the property with.

boolean $normalize optional true

Set to true to run the properties through Hash::normalize() before merging.

Parameters

array $properties optional array()

An associative array containing properties and corresponding values.

_stop()source protected

_stop( integer|string $status 0 )

Stop execution of the current script. Wraps exit() making testing easier.

Parameters

integer|string $status optional 0

see http://php.net/exit for values

dispatchMethod()source public

Name of the method to call

array $params optional array()

Parameter list to use when calling $method

Returns

log()source public

log( string $msg , integer $type LOG_ERR , null|string|array $scope null )

Parameters

string $msg

Log message

integer $type optional LOG_ERR

Error type constant. Defined in app/Config/core.php.

null|string|array $scope optional null

The scope(s) a log message is being created in. See CakeLog::config() for more information on logging scopes.

Returns

requestAction()source public

requestAction( string|array $url , array $extra array() )

Calls a controller's method from any location. Can be used to connect controllers together or tie plugins into a main application. requestAction can be used to return rendered views or fetch the return value from controller actions.

Under the hood this method uses Router::reverse() to convert the $url parameter into a string URL. You should use URL formats that are compatible with Router::reverse()

Passing POST and GET data

POST and GET data can be simulated in requestAction. Use $extra['url'] for GET data. The $extra['data'] parameter allows POST data simulation.

Parameters

string|array $url

String or array-based URL. Unlike other URL arrays in CakePHP, this URL will not automatically handle passed and named arguments in the $url parameter.

array $extra optional array()

if array includes the key "return" it sets the AutoRender to true. Can also be used to submit GET/POST data, and named/passed arguments.

Returns

Boolean true or false on success/failure, or contents of rendered action if 'return' is set in $extra.

toString()source public

toString( )

CakeObject-to-string conversion. Each class can override this method as necessary.

Returns
