cakephp model association is not working - cakephp

Question

I have the table 'posts' and 'users':
CREATE TABLE `posts` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(255) default NULL,
`date` datetime default NULL,
`content` text,
`user_id` int(11) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(100) default NULL,
`email` varchar(150) default NULL,
`firstname` varchar(60) default NULL,
`lastname` varchar(60) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
and the model classes:
<?php
class Post extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Post';
var $belongsTo = array(
'User'=>array(
'className'=>'User',
'foreignKey'=>'user_id',
'conditions'=>null,
'fields'=>null)
);
}
?>
<?php
class User extends AppModel {
var $name = 'User';
var $hasMany = array('Post');
}
?>
I am testing using var $scaffold.
However, after I add some users, I can only see an empty select menu in the add post page, which means the association is not working. I don't know what is wrong with my code. Please help me out.
Thank you very much!

Answer 1

See the below url:-
http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/view/1042/belongsTo
http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/view/1043/hasMany
//Try This for belongsTo :--
<?php
class Profile extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Profile';
var $belongsTo = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id'
)
);
}
?>
Or
<?php
class Profile extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Profile';
var $belongsTo = array('User');
}
?>
//For hasmany
<?php
class User extends AppModel {
var $name = 'User';
var $hasMany = array(
'Post' => array(
'className' => 'Post',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'conditions' => array('Comment.status' => '1'),
'order' => 'Comment.created DESC',
'limit' => '5',
'dependent'=> true
)
);
}
?>

Answer 2

I am starting with cakePHP too and banged my head for some time before I realized that the "conventions" require the Model filename to be CamelCased.
Try using:
Post.php
User.php
otherwise it seems the models are totally ignored.
