Answer 1

Did you read something to start in CakePHP like Getting Started or CakePHP Conventions?
Reading some documentation, you will find that your tables should be named in plural and models in singular. Your model in app/Model/Contact.php looks like this:
class Contact extends AppModel {
public $useTable = 'contacts'; // It is not necessary, because CakePHP implicitly understands that your table will be in the plural
}
Now, your view located in app/View/Contacts/index.ctp:
echo $this->Form->create('Contact');
echo $this->Form->input('email');
echo $this->Form->input('body', array('rows' => '6'));
echo $this->Form->end('Save');
And your controller in app/Controller/ContactsController.php:
class ContactsController extends AppController {
public function index() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->Contact->create();
if ($this->Contact->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Your contact has been saved.'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Unable to add your contact.'));
}
}
}
}
This is a basic usage. I recommend you read the documentation to start with CakePHP because it has lots of interesting things that you may need.
