Saving Multiple Select in input

Question

I have model for

• user(id,name)
• section(id,name)
• section_users(id,user_id,section_id)

The admin adds all the users and sections

Answer 1

This is HABTM relation, first of all you need have relation setup in SectionUser model. Then you can use saveAll() method to save all records at once.

Array
(
    [0] => Array
    (
        [user_id] => 33
        [section_id] => 9
    )

    [1] => Array
    (
        [user_id] => 33
        [section_id] => 10
    )
)

Make sure your data array is in above given format.

$this->SectionUser->saveAll($data);
