find() public ¶
find( array $conditions = null , mixed $fields = array() , string $order = null , integer $recursive = null )
Queries the datasource and returns a result set array.
Also used to perform new-notation finds, where the first argument is type of find operation to perform (all / first / count / neighbors / list / threaded ), second parameter options for finding ( indexed array, including: 'conditions', 'limit', 'recursive', 'page', 'fields', 'offset', 'order')
Eg: {{{ find('all', array( 'conditions' => array('name' => 'Thomas Anderson'), 'fields' => array('name', 'email'), 'order' => 'field3 DESC', 'recursive' => 2, 'group' => 'type' )); }}}
In addition to the standard query keys above, you can provide Datasource, and behavior specific keys. For example, when using a SQL based datasource you can use the joins key to specify additional joins that should be part of the query.
{{{
find('all', array(
'conditions' => array('name' => 'Thomas Anderson'),
'joins' => array(
array(
'alias' => 'Thought',
'table' => 'thoughts',
'type' => 'LEFT',
'conditions' => 'Thought.person_id = Person.id'
)
)
));
}}}
Behaviors and find types can also define custom finder keys which are passed into find().
Specifying 'fields' for new-notation 'list':
- If no fields are specified, then 'id' is used for key and 'model->displayField' is used for value.
- If a single field is specified, 'id' is used for key and specified field is used for value.
- If three fields are specified, they are used (in order) for key, value and group.
Otherwise, first and second fields are used for key and value.
Note: find(list) + database views have issues with MySQL 5.0. Try upgrading to MySQL 5.1 if you have issues with database views.
Parameters
- array $conditions optional null
SQL conditions array, or type of find operation (all / first / count / neighbors / list / threaded)
- mixed $fields optional array()
Either a single string of a field name, or an array of field names, or options for matching
