I wasted so much time figuring out to populate the drop down from foreign classes in cake PHP and wished it would be best if someone could have written from beginning to end to help the beginners of Cake like me.
Finally i figured it out and you guys can benefit from it.
I have two tables articles and users, user write articles so there is one to many relationship. I need user drop down in articles forms to say who is this user writing the article.
User table has
id
Name
Article table has
id
Title
user_id
So my Article Model will look like below:
My user model will look like below:
My Article Controller will look like below
The Add view will look like below:
Similarly Edit View will look like below
Hope this will help kick start your Cake Php learning ... enjoy coding
