How do I properly save data to the database?

Question

I normally save new data to the database like this:

$this->MyTable->set(array(
 \'id\' => $id,
 \'code\' => $temp_code,
 \'status\' => $status         


        

Answer 1

Posted data example

Array
(
    [ModelName] => Array
        (
            [column1] => value
            [column2] => value
            [column3] => value
        )

)

Try this to add

if ($this->request->is('post')) {
    $this->ModelName->create();
    $this->ModelName->save($this->request->data);
}

Try this to edit

if ($this->request->is('post')) {
    $this->ModelName->id = 2;
    $this->ModelName->save($this->request->data);
 }
