CakePHP - hasMany not fetching?
- by Paolo Bergantino
Maybe I am just having a slow day, but for the life of me I can't figure out why this is happening. I haven't done CakePHP in a while and I am trying to use the 1.3 version, but this doesn't seem to be working...
I have two models:
area.php
<?php
class Area extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Area';
var $useTable = 'OR_AREA';
var $primaryKey = 'A_ID';
var $belongsTo = array(
'Building' => array(
'className' => 'Building',
'foreignKey' => 'FK_B_ID',
),
'Facility' => array(
'className' => 'Facility',
'foreignKey' => 'FK_F_ID',
),
'System' => array(
'className' => 'System',
'foreignKey' => 'FK_S_ID',
)
);
}
?>
building.php
<?php
class Building extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Building';
var $useTable = 'OR_BLDG';
var $primaryKey = 'B_ID';
var $hasMany = array(
'Area' => array(
'className' => 'Area',
'foreignKey' => 'FK_B_ID',
)
);
}
?>
OR_AREA has a column titled FK_B_ID that refers to the B_ID.
If I run something like:
$this->Building->find('all', array('recursive' => 2));
I get empty [Area] arrays for all the Buildings even though there are plenty of Areas in the OR_AREA table that are associated to buildings. Not only that, the Query Table doesn't even show CakePHP attempted to find anything but all the records in OR_BLDG. All the more puzzling, if I do:
$this->Area->find('all');
I get all the Areas and the [Building] arrays are populated when appropriate.
What am I missing?
