First off I'm not just new to Cake I'm new to programing. I can get my
head around relatively simple stuff and can generalize once I have a
concept but even though I know this is either obvious, or been
answered a thousand times I can't see it anywhere or figure out how it
works.
I have a two tables Recipes and Ingredients and a JoinTable
Ingredients_Recipes that contains the foreign keys plus some other
data.
In my controller I have the following code:
$recipe = $this->Recipe->find(array('ShowDate'=>$today));
$this->set('todays_recipe', $recipe);
Which in debug send all the relevant elements of the all tables to the
view:
$___dataForView = array(
"todays_recipe" => array(
"Recipe" => array(
"recipe_id" => "20",
"RecipeName" => "Banana Bread",
),
"Ingredient" => array(
array(
"ingredient_id" => "1",
"IngredientName" => "Eggs",
"IngredientsRecipe" => array(
"id" => "1",
"recipe_id" => "20",
"ingredient_id" => "1",
"Amount" => "2",
)
In my view code
echo @"The dinner for $today is {$todays_recipe[Recipe]['RecipeName']}
';
and I can generalize that to display anyting in the recipe array ie
serves = $todays_recipe[Recipe]['Serves']";
But when I try this with the Ingredients using - echo "this
{$today_recipe[Ingredient]['IngredientName']}";
I get undefined constants or undefined variables.
I assume I have to declare the ingredients array in the controller or
assign it to a variable but how? I don't know and at the risk of
appearing stupid or irritating I thought I'd ask.
