Matt, query() is a model method (as you can see in the cookbook: http://book.cakephp.org/view/456/query ). So there is no need to "guess" what the syntax should be.
If you're doing it from the model, then you'd call it using $this- >query(); If you're doing it from the model, but need to call it from an associated model, then it would be: $this->AssociatedModel->query(); If you're doing it from a controller, then you would do it like so: $this->MyModel->query(); The $this 'pseudo-variable' represents the current calling-object: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php And if you are making an update, then query() will not return any data. If you are trying to check if the query succeeded or not, you need to do use the 'identical' comparison (=== or !==): if ($this->query($query) !== false) { // success } else { // failed } On Jun 15, 9:17 am, Matt Y <[email protected]> wrote: > So I have searched for this, but the cookbook does not help me with my > problem. > > I have been trying to write functions in my models that use the > query() function that updates some HABTM tables > > i have copied many pieces of code to try and make this happen but have > had no luck.
