I am currently playing around with CakePHP and I'm having a problem with a form that doesn't submit data to my database. There's no error message and when I debug, the form data is seems to be added to the array (see attached image).
This is my model:
class Split extends AppModel {
public $validate = array(
'title' => array('rule' => 'notEmpty'),
'url' => array('rule' => 'notEmpty'),
'descr' => array('rule' => 'notEmpty')
);
And this is my view:
<h1>Add New Case</h1>
<?php
pr($this->request->data);
echo $this->Form->create('Split');
echo $this->Form->input('title');
echo $this->Form->input('url');
echo $this->Form->input('descr', array('rows' => '2'));
echo $this->Form->end('Add New Case');
?>
This is the add function in the Controller:
public function add() {
if ($this->request->is('split')) {
$this->Split->create();
if ($this->Split->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Your case has been saved.');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Unable to add case.');
}
}
}
After pressing submit data is inserted into the Split array, but the form is not submitted:
This is the HTML that is rendered out:
<form action="/uilab/splits/add" id="SplitAddForm" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
<div style="display:none;"><input type="hidden" name="_method" value="POST"></div>
<div class="input text required">
<label for="SplitTitle">Title</label>
<input name="data[Split][title]" maxlength="255" type="text" value="Some title" id="SplitTitle"></div>
<div class="input text required">
<label for="SplitUrl">Url</label>
<input name="data[Split][url]" maxlength="255" type="text" value="http://www.someurl.com" id="SplitUrl">
</div>
<div class="input textarea required">
<label for="SplitDescr">Descr</label>
<textarea name="data[Split][descr]" rows="2" cols="30" id="SplitDescr">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</textarea>
</div>
<div class="submit"><input type="submit" value="Add New Case"></div>
</form>
I'm pretty new to CakePHP so any ideas on how to troubleshoot this is highly appreciated.
Oh, and happy new year btw! :)
