I am facing problem of read function in cakephp - php

hii..I want to edit single row.i used
$this->data = $this->BuildingProperty->read(null,$id);
but it didnt fetch the values of this id.
so what can i do. Give me any suggestion.

Why did you pass null as the first parameter? It should be a string on array of fields that you want to retrieve.
Anyway, try this instead:
$this->BuildingProperty->id = $id;
$this->data = $this->BuildingProperty->read();

The syntax which you are using is correct. First check if the $id is integer. (echo $id). Then if so, check your database if it has such record in building_properties table check if this ID exist. Finally check if the variable $this->data is populated with the proper values.
All those checks return you proper values then the problem is not in Model->read() function.
Another hint, try to clear the cache /app/tmp/cache/modules and /app/tmp/cache/persistent

Are you calling the method from a controller that knows about BuildingProperty? i.e. BuildingPropertiesController. If not, have you included a
var $uses = array('BuildingProperty');
statement in the class definition or explicitly loaded the model with, for example,
loadModel('BuildingProperty')
Your syntax is correct and the only other explanation if there is no warning or error message is that the returned array is empty, i.e. the record does not exist.
Check that you have debug turned on:
Configure::write('debug', 1); // or higher.A 2 will output SQL queries as well
then try
debug($this->BuildingProperty->read(null,$id));
You should at least get some output telling you the line of the debug call.

Call to undefined function Laravel

I have problem when I'm checking if collection is empty or not, Laravel gives me error
"Call to undefined method
Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::isEmpty()".
Tho it work in other Controller, but when controller is in Sub folder is suddenly stops working.
Here is my code:
$group = UserGroup::where('id', $request->group_id)->first();
if($group->isEmpty()){ // I get error from here
return redirect()->back();
}
One of the most popular way of debugging in PHP still remains the same – showing variables in the browser, with hope to find what the error is. Laravel has a specific short helper function for showing variables – dd() – stands for “Dump and Die”, but it’s not always convenient. What are other options?
Note the below mentioned methods are to find where our class fails and what are all the conditions that are available after our query executes. What is our expected result before printing it. This methods are the best methods to find out the error as required by is.
First, what is the problem with dd()? Well, let’s say we want to get all rows from DB table and dump them:
$methods = PaymentMethod::all();
dd($methods);
We would see like this:
But you get the point – to see the actual values, we need to click three additional times, and we don’t see the full result without those actions. At first I thought – maybe dd() function has some parameters for it? Unfortunately not. So let’s look at other options:
var_dump() and die():
Good old PHP way of showing the data of any type:
$methods = PaymentMethod::all();
var_dump($methods);
die();
What we see now:
But there’s even more readable way.
Another PHP built-in function print_r() has a perfect description for us: “Prints human-readable information about a variable”
$methods = PaymentMethod::all();
print_r($methods);
die();
And then go to View Source of the browser… We get this:
Now we can read the contents easily and try to investigate the error.
Moreover, print_r() function has another optional parameter with true/false values – you can not only echo the variable, but return it as string into another variable. Then you can combine several variables into one and maybe log it somewhere, for example.
So, in cases like this, dd() is not that convenient – PHP native functions to the rescue. But if you want the script to literally “dump one simple variable and die” – then dd($var) is probably the fastest to type.

Laravel undefined variable when trying to pass data to view

I am trying to pass data from my controller to my view, but am getting an undefined variable error. usersID is a column in my MySQL table.
Here is the code in my controller
$arrayWithCount = DB :: table("users_has_activities")
-> where("usersID", "=", 19)
-> pluck("usersID");
$countNumber = sizeof($arrayWithCount);
return view('pages.progress', ['countNumber' => $countNumber]);
I have also tried the following return statement without any success
return view::make('pages.progress') -> with('countNumber', $countNumber);
I have also tried reversing the puck and where clauses without any success, I didn't have high hopes that reversing them would fix the problem but thought I would try it any way. Below is the relevant code in the blade file.
<?php echo $countNumber; ?>
This is the error I am currently getting
Undefined variable: countNumber
You code looks fine, if dd() doesn't stop execution of the controller, then another controller is executing. So double check your routes and controllers.
First sizeof should be sizeOf, and is simply an alias for count(). Most people would prefer count over sizeOf as sizeOf (in many languages) would indicate something related to size on disk.
Anywho, being that pluck returns a collection, you have access to count() directly from the collection.
You can probably simply do something like:
$countNumber = $arrayWithCount->count();
Sidenote: Unless there is a particular reason why you are using <?php ?>, in blade, it would be preferred to use {{ and }}.
I had all the controller code in a method I wasn't calling, so the variable was never passed to the blade file. The method was set up to be called on a button press, after fixing that everything works. Thanks Alexey for the help.

SilverStripe - Using the CheckboxsetField with MultiForm Module

I have a form using the multiform module. I have a checkboxsetfield populated by a dataobject.
When saving the form I am getting strange results. For instance if I select the first and third checkboxes then this is how the array appears in the database: 1{comma}3 when I expected to see 1,3
MyDataObject.php
<?php
...
if($SomeData = DataObject::get('SomeData')->sort('SortColumn'){
$fields->push( new CheckboxSetField('SomeData', 'Field Name', $SomeData->map('ID', 'Name')
));
}
MultiForm.php
<?php
...
public function finish($data, $form){
if(isset($_SESSION['FormInfo']['MultiForm']['errors'])){
unset($_SESSION['FormInfo']['Form']['errors']);
}
parent::finish($data, $form);
$steps = DataObject::get('MultiFormStep', "SessionID = {$this->session->ID}");
$MyStep = $this->getSavedStepByClass('MyStep');
if($this->getSavedStepByClass('MyStep')){
if($MyStep->loadData()){
$MyDataObject = new MyDataObject();
$MyStep->saveInto($MyDataObject);
$MyDataObject->write();
}
}
...
Any ideas how to process the array?
CheckboxSetField does have code which refers to {comma} when saving to the DB or when calling the dataValue function. This is essentially escaping any commas that were defined as values in the string when saving to a single column.
This tells me that either your multiform isn't providing the right input to CheckboxSetField or that there is more to this situation than your code is showing.
If CheckboxSetField gets an array like array('1,3'), that is when I would expect to see that type of result. Calling map like you have returns an SS_Map object which may not automatically convert the way you are expecting. Try adding ->toArray() after the map call when you are passing the values into the CheckboxSetField.
If that doesn't solve the issue, we probably will need to see the DataObject itself and a few other bits and pieces of information.

How do you restore the values of the form in case if validation failed (in Kohana 3)

There is a sample in the bottom of the official documentation http://kohanaframework.org/3.2/guide/kohana/security/validation
But obviously it wont work at the request as long as $post['username'] in View is used but the $post array is empty on first request.
So how do you restore the values in this case? Any general solution?
PS: yes, I do understand I could do isset($post['username']) ? $post['username'] : ''; but it is just annoying
I use the model to display the data in the form. That way the initial form value is the initial value in the model.
I then update the model data with POST data in the controller, if there are validation errors, the model data will contain the POST data. This means I don't have to put any conditional logic in the view, and I just do: Form::input('name', $model->name)
Here's a more detailed explanation of this approach: Kohana ORM and Validation, having problems
I use Arr::get function:
echo Form::input('name', Arr::get($post, 'name'))
I was just looking at the old documentation on Building and Validating a Form.
You can see from the sample code that first you need to initialize an array with the form field names as the key and set the value to an empty string. And if there's an error, fill in the values of each element. In the views, you can simply call Form::input() normally without any if statement or some sort.
I guess Kohana has already been built this way from the start. And it doesn't seem to change. You'll probably just need to do the same thing.

PHP DB access syntax: "$this->db->select..." How do I use "get()"?

I am editing somebody else's code and I am a PHP beginner.
I want to access the contents of a column called "email" in the database "tga_purchase_items" where the "id" of the row is "14". I want to save the output to a variable "$sp_email".
The code I have is thus:
$sp_email = $this->db->select("email")->from("tga_purchase_items")->where("id", 14)->get();
The variable is coming out empty although the database field is definitely populated.
What am I doing wrong? I am not used to this "->" syntax at all.
The syntax used in your database leans towards Codeigniter and active record.
If this is the case, the following code will retrieve the email column.
$result_set = $this->db->select("email")->from("tga_purchase_items")->where("id", 14)->get();
$result_object = $result_set->row();
$sp_email = $result_object->email;
What you're missing is retrieving the data from the result set which you get. The get() functions return a result set which is similar to the native MySQLi Result class. This means that you need to retrieve the data you want from this set. There are various functions available in CodeIgniter to do this, namely row(), row_array(), result() and result_array() which you can read about on their manual page.
I haven't done too much with CodeIgniter and the Active Record (I prefer Zend Framework) but I think something like this would do the trick:
$this->db->select('email');
$sp_email = $this->db->get_where('tga_purchase_items', array('id' => '14'));
Look at this for a more detailed explanation: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/database/active_record.html
