how can I create assoc in cakephp and is it possible to create array like this using assoc?
i want to fetch user name , product name and the comment that user has given on the product

Answer 1

In the Product model bind the model to User Model as belongsTo association
public $belongsTo = array(
"User" => array(
"className" => "User",
"foreignKey" => "user_id"
)
);
and to Comment Model as hasMany association
$public $hasMany = array(
"Comment" => array(
"className" => "Comment",
"foreignKey" => "product_id"
)
);
and run the find query on Product Model as
$this->Product->find('all');
