Gump...Exact same thing happened to me! Very frustrating. I am absolute beginner (following same todo example) but here is what I did to get it to work.
1) Made another database called apress (not cake), then made items table in phpAdmin, put same fields as in example. Finally, changed database.php settings to match to apress database. 2) turned off caching app\config\core.php this line <uncomment this> Configure::write('Cache.disable', true); <Not sure you need to do this but I did anyway> 3) stopped wamp and restarted 4) refreshed todo/items in browser and works perfectly now. No code changes. I also downloaded authors code from book site (exactly the same as mine earlier with your same error). He uses PHP shorthand so make sure your <item.php> and <items_controller.php> have <?php instead of <? alone unless you configured server correctly. Rough start....but it works now. I hope it helps you.
