Cakephp find count group by in view - cakephp

Question

I have a model Gameline and controller GamelinesController and database 'gamelines'.
I want to run this query
Which means there is one record belongs to 2013-02-18 and there is two records belong to 2013-02-25.
After that how to loop count that belongs to each g_time field in view Please help me.

Answer 1

For fields using MySQL functions, like DATE(). You can use Virtual Fields. In your case, you would add something like this to your Gameline model:
public function __construct($id = false, $table = null, $ds = null) {
parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds);
$this->virtualFields = array(
'date' => 'DATE(' . $this->alias . '.g_time)'
);
}
That way, the formatted date will be available as the virtual field date (use another name if you already have a field that's called like that).
Then in your find() operation, fetch the new virtual date field. In order to output those results to your view, you can simply loop over your resultset. Let's say you store your find() result in a view parameter called $data, then you would display the table like:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Count</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($data as $row): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row['Gameline']['date']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['Gameline']['count']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tbody>
</table>
