The method steps for CakePHP form data display
are to first create the database cake_ext and execute the following sql text:
CREATE TABLE `companies` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`company` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`price` decimal(8,2) NOT NULL,
`change` decimal(8,2) NOT NULL,
`lastudp` date NOT NULL,
PRIMARYKEY(`id`)
)ENGINE=MyISAMAUTO_INCREMENT=8DEFAULTCHARSET=utf8;
-- ----------------------------
-- Records
----------------------------
INSERT INTO `companies` VALUES ('1', '3m Co', '71.72', '0.02', '2008-10-21');
INSERT INTO `companies` VALUES ('2', 'Alcoa Inc', '29.01', '0.42', '2008-10-20');
INSERT INTO `companies` VALUES ('3', 'AT&T Inc.', '31.61', '-0.48', '2008-10-21');
INSERT INTO `companies` VALUES ('4', 'Boeing Co.', '75.43', '0.53', '2008-10-13');
INSERT INTO `companies` VALUES ('5', 'United Technologies Corporation', '63.26', '0.55', '2008-10-09');
INSERT INTO `companies` VALUES ('6', 'Intel Corporation', '19.88', '0.31', '2008-10-15');
INSERT INTO `companies` VALUES ('7', 'Exxon Mobil Corp', '68.10', '-0.43', '2008-10-17');
Create a project as shown in the figure below:
The database configuration file is as follows:
classDATABASE_CONFIG
{
var$default=array('driver'=>'mysql',
'connect'=>'mysql_connect',
'host'=>'localhost',
'login'=>'root',
'password'=>'root',
'database'=>'cake_ext',
'prefix'=>'');
var$test=array('driver'=>'mysql',
'connect'=>'mysql_connect',
'host'=>'localhost',
'login'=>'root',
'password'=>'root',
'database'=>'cake_ext',
'prefix'=>'');
}

<?php

}
functionview($id= null)
{

$this->set('company',$this->Company->read());
}
}
?>
company.php:
<?php
