HABTM join doesnt produce any results from associated array in cakephp - php

Question

I am trying to link a HABTM model with joins but I dont get any records from the joined tables.
I have data for the tutor id =2 and also I have this id of 2 in the other tables of tutors-subjects and also a key in the subject. i should not get NULL in the other tables. I dont get an error.
I want all the subjects for tutor id =2.
Here is the controller and model with the relationship
array(
(int) 0 => array(
'Subject' => array(
'id' => null,
'name' => null
),
'TutorsSubject' => array(
'id' => null,
'tutor_id' => null,
'subject_id' => null
),
'Tutor' => array(
'id' => '2',
'tutor_inactive' => false,
'first_name' => 'fred2',
'last_name' => 'blah',..........
class TutorsController extends AppController {
public function tutordetails() {
$options2['joins'] = array(
array('table' => 'tutors_subjects',
'alias' => 'TutorsSubject',
'type' => 'LEFT',
'conditions' => array(
'Tutor.id = TutorsSubject.tutor_id', //fixed 'Tutor.id = TutorsSubject.id', //
)
),
array('table' => 'subjects',
'alias' => 'Subject',
'type' => 'LEFT',
'conditions' => array(
'TutorsSubject.subject_id=Subject.id',
)
)
));
$options2['fields'] = array('Subject.*','TutorsSubject.*','Tutor.*');
$this->Tutor->recursive = -1;
$options2['conditions'] = array('Tutor.id' => 2);
$subject=$this->Tutor->find('all',$options2);
$this->set('subject', $subject);
debug($subject);
class Subject extends AppModel {
public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Tutor' => array(
'className' => 'Tutor',
'joinTable' => 'tutors_subjects',
'foreignKey' => 'subject_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'tutor_id',
'unique' => 'keepExisting',
'conditions' => '',
)
);
}
class Tutor extends AppModel {
..
public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Subject' => array(
'className' => 'Subject',
'joinTable' => 'tutors_subjects',
'foreignKey' => 'tutor_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'subject_id',
'unique' => 'keepExisting',
'conditions' => '',
),
);

Agrizzo had the answer Using JOINs when you have properly defined model relations is huge mistake. Use the framework for what it was defined for (and you need is well supported without the JOINs.). That being said - your problem is most likely this: '
Tutor.id = TutorsSubject.id' in your first JOIN definition. Try
'Tutor.id = TutorsSubject.tutor_id
