I am trying to create my own MySQL queries in Cakephp.
This is my LocationsController.php
:
<?php
App::uses('Location', 'Model');
class LocationsController extends AppController
{
public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form');
function index()
{
$this->loadModel("Location");
$this->Location->get();
}
}
This is my LocationModel.php
:
<?php
App::uses('AppModel', 'Model');
class LocationModel extends Model {
public $name = 'Location';
public function get()
{
$this->Location->query("SELECT * FROM locations;");
}
}
As you can see, I am just trying to perform a simple query but it doesn't work. I get this error:
Error: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error
in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server
version for the right syntax to use near 'get' at line 1
When I use one of the magic methods like find("all") instead, it works...
Can you see what the problem is? I really can't and I'm only trying to do a simple task!
The class name of your Location model should be Location
, not LocationModel
.
Because of this, CakePHP will generate a 'generic' model for the Locations database table and use that model instead of your own model. Because this generic model does not have a get()
method, it will execute get
as a SQL statement, causing the error
Also, inside the Model, you should not use $this->Location->query();
, but simply $this->query();
Location Controller should be:
<?php
App::uses('Location', 'Model'); // Y do u need this?
class LocationsController extends AppController
{
public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form');
function index()
{
$this->loadModel("Location");
$this->LocationModel->getLocations(); // I will strongly discourage using get()
}
}
Location Model should be:
<?php
App::uses('AppModel', 'Model');
class LocationModel extends Model {
public $name = 'Location';
public function getLocations() // Try to avoid naming a function as get()
{
/** Choose either of 2 lines below **/
return $this->query("SELECT * FROM locations;"); // if table name is `locations`
return $this->query("SELECT * FROM Location;"); // if table name is `Location` since your public name is `Location`
}
}
