Basically if I remove the $i from the input in cake it renders all the inputs the same name, or key if you will, I do not need to get rid of the loop. I do not know the length of the loop as it is variable. I will attach again what I have with cake and a snippet from a regular php project that show what I need to do.
This is cake-> echo $form->checkbox('OnsiteTrainingClass.select_class'. $i,array('id'=>'select'.$i,'label'=>'','value'=> $value['OnsiteTrainingClass']['id'])); echo $form->text('OnsiteTrainingClass.seats'. $classid,array('id'=>'select'. $i,'label'=>'','value'=>'1','size'=>'2')); I need-> <tr><td><input type="text" size="27" maxlength="50" name="name[]" value="<?php if($attendees[0] != ""){echo $attendees[0];}?>"><input type="text" size="27" maxlength="50" name="title[]" value="<?php if($title[0] != ""){echo $title[0];}?>"></td></tr> This allows an undetermined number of inputs to be stored into the post array dynamically. I the example it allows me to collect name and title withuot knowing or caring how many are provided. I get name[0] and the title that goes with that is title[0]. It it a thing of beauty but cake will not allow met to set my input above to OnsiteTrainingClass[]. I am not sure what the error is, suffice it to say cake is not allowing this. I was hoping that those who are proficient with cake might be able to tell me if there is a workaround. A way to dynamically create keys like regular php.
