I have printed object and trying to print Tenats.stage

<td><?= debug($tenancy); ?></td>
Print this =>
object(App\Model\Entity\Tenancy) {

'[original]' => [],
'[virtual]' => [],
'[errors]' => [],

'[virtual]' => [],

That's how to print _matchingData
<td><?= h($tenancy->_matchingData['Tenants']->stage); ?></td>
But if you specify the main parents field id (Tenancy.id) automaticaly your data will look much much better. for example my parent model is "Tenancy" Now I am getting Tenant.id and Tenancy.id and Property.id :
$tenancies = $this
->find()
->select([
'Tenancy.id', 'Tenancy.created', 'Tenancy.stage',
'Properties.id', 'Properties.address1', 'Properties.postcode',
'Tenants.stage',
])
->contain('Properties', function(\Cake\ORM\Query $query) {
return $query->where([
'Properties.active' => 1
]);
})
->contain([
'Tenants'
])
->matching('Tenants', function(\Cake\ORM\Query $query) {
return $query->where([
'Tenants.active' => 1
]);
})
->where([
'Tenancy.active' => 1,
$conditions
])
->order([
'Tenancy.created' => 'DESC',
'Tenants.tenancy_id'
]);
return $tenancies;
}
It prints the array with deep associations which is cool and I can get my tenants property like this:
<td><?= h($tenancy->tenants->stage); ?></td>
Prints=>
0 => object(App\Model\Entity\Tenancy) {
'id' => (int) 3923,
'created' => object(Cake\I18n\FrozenTime) {
'time' => '2016-03-19T13:12:32+00:00',
'timezone' => 'UTC',
'fixedNowTime' => false
},
'stage' => (int) 2,
'tenants' => [
(int) 0 => object(Cake\ORM\Entity) {
'id' => (int) 8903,
'user_id' => (int) 15318,
'tenancy_id' => (int) 3923,
'needs_guarantor' => true,
'guarantor_id' => null,
'holding_fee' => (float) 50,
Result: Make sure always you write your query properly so you access your data nice and tidy.
