CakePHP 2从控制器方法访问模型常量

Question

I have a Cakephp 2 model with a class constant:

class Person extends AppModel 
{
    const NAME = 'MyName';  
}

How can i access this class constant into the controller method ?

I try :

public function SayName( $id )
{
   var_dump($this->Person->NAME);
   die;
}

But the result was : NULL

Answer 1

You can also declare your model usage at the top of the controller with the command

App::uses('Person', 'Model');

Then you can access the model constant in the controller with

Person::NAME
