This is my first time on StackOverflow though I "read" Coding Horror quite often. Anyway... I'm working on a school/college project using CakePHP and I'm using the built in AuthComponent to support user Authentication (i.e. logging in, etc). My problem is that it logs me out after very short intervals. It doesn't even have me wait a f...

I've started writing quite a few applications in PHP mainly for Wordpress and becoming more and more familiar with the language. Someone told me about CakePHP and Codeigniter and I wanted to get a better understanding of how these could help me and whether it's worthwhile spending the time to learn a framework? Thanks Jonathan ...

My team is trying to use Media Wiki to let users post deeper analysis of scientific research. However, MediaWiki requires a separate log-in, which is a real hassle. Is there a way to bypass the need for a separate Media Wiki log-in so that the user who is already logged-in to our site can go straight to Wiki Media and post references wi...
I'm new to CakePHP and frameworks and I've tried to google in search of an answer without any luck. I'm using the blank login() function and want to be able to change user records on login (like last_login). How can I do that? ...
I'm doing some experimenting with AJAX in CakePHP and it seems to work except that the view that gets returned includes the default template. How can I get rid of that (or even just specify a different empty template for a view)? ...
I CakePHP (cake_1.2.2.8120) and EasyPHP (3.0) installed on Windows Vista Ultimate. I followed the "baking" tutorials online, successfully set the database connection with the "cake bake" command from the CLI. I baked the controller for my "Users" table using the "php cake.php bake controller Users" command - worked fine. However, when I...
I created an application using the method described in the "http:// book.cakephp.org/view/641/Simple-Acl-controlled-Application" but after I try to log in there is an error which says, "DbAcl::allow() - Invalid node [CORE\cake\libs\controller\components\acl.php, line 325]" I did exactly same as mentioned in the website but after loggin ...
I have a user registration form and I only want the user to specify their first and last name (i.e. Donalg Doonsberry). If the user doesn't provide their name in this fashion, the input will be rejected. I thought something like this would work for my regex user validation in cakephp: 'name'=>array('Name has to be comprised of letter...
Sorry for what is a generic title. I'm not the best at titles. Anyway the way Cake passes around data (as a hash) is pretty much the reason why I even need to ask this question. If when I passed a variable/obj from the controller to the view, it was an object that I can ask questions to (i.e. $duck->quack() ) rather than having it be an...
Can I use TIBCO General Interface with PHP? Or better, with CakePHP? If it's possible, how can I do that? Maybe some documentation in the web? (I search but I don't find anything). Thanks. ...
What I need to do is create a form something like this: <form method="post" promptpermission="email" action="blahblah"> (Note the promptpermission attribute.) Is there any way I can do this without straying to far from the helper? <?php echo $form->create(); ?> Since it's only one form, I'm loath to go mod very much. Is there a qu...
If a method creates an object and I call the method from an other object, will the last object have access to the first object's properties and methods? ...
A Facebook app is hosted on my server at, say, http://server.com/projects/fbapp/, but is only ever viewed in Facebook at, for instance, http://apps.facebook.com/fbapp/. Using CakePHP this presents a problem - should routes be prefixed with "/project/fbapp" or just "fbapp"? It's a problem because routes are used not just for routing inb...

As part of a web application users can upload files of data, which generates a new table in a dedicated MySQL database to store the data in. They can then manipulate this data in various ways. The next version of this app is being written in CakePHP, and at the moment I can't figure out how to dynamically assign these tables at runtime...
I have $user = $this->Auth->user(); which retrieves the current user from the session. I want to make an admin user be able to 'act as' a customer. And I was hoping to be able to just replace the customer_id in the user session when they enter the customer interface. $user['User']['customer_id'] = 4; This doesn't work because I ...
