If I'm not mistaken the id of the latest saved record is $this->model->id
"Value of the primary key ID of the record that this model is currently pointing to. Automatically set after database insertions." http://api20.cakephp.org/class/model There's also the two functions getInsertID ( http://api20.cakephp.org/class/model#method-ModelgetInsertID ) and getLastInsertID ( http://api20.cakephp.org/class/model#method-ModelgetLastInsertID ) though I cannot tell you the difference between those two. Hope that helps :) Am Freitag, 27.
