Hello,
I'm new to CakePHP and PHP in general. I turned to the mailing list for help
because I'm stuck and couldn't find what I need from searching the internet,
so I hope you guys could help me out. [Sorry if this happens to turn out too
easy. Like I said, I'm new to Cake and PHP in general, so be nice. ;) ]
I'm building an application that would connect serially to a device. As a
user can opt to have different device configurations, I made a model named
"settings" that have the following fields:
| id | port_direction | port_value | etc.
| 1 | 00 | 00 | .
| 2 | 01 | 02 | .
How do I map these rows to a column of another table containing the commands
corresponding to the "settings" fields?
| id | command_name | command_code
| 1 | port_direction | 1201
| 2 | port_value | 1202
Updating each of the "settings" fields, requires accessing the corresponding
element in the "commands" table. I can't really think of an association to
connect the two tables (I don't think the "commands" table can really be
classified as a model, but more of a simple list), as each "setting" would
require using *all* elements of the commands table (hasOne and belongsTo is
one-to-one, HATBM would create an extremely large table with repeating
relationships).
What do you suggest I do to be able to access the "commands" table from the
"settings" model?
Thanks in advance.
