    <p>Why does cakePHP complain that $request is undefined? I was following the tutorial that they have up on their site how to make a blog (the hello work of frameworks) and I had been fixing the various errors that i came across in the tutorial code (I figured the tutorial was a little bit out of date) but here is one I haven't been able to fathom. Looking at the api documentation it says that Controller has a $request property. my PostsController extends AppController which extends Controller, so it would make sense that it would have the $requests property, but it doesn't, not even according to print_r. </p> <p>Here is my code (straight from the tutorial):</p> <pre><code>class PostsController extends AppController { public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Session'); public $components = array('Session'); ... public function add() { if ($this-&gt;request-&gt;is('post')) { ... } } } </code></pre> <p>here is the error page:</p> <pre><code>Notice (8): Undefined property: PostsController::$request [APP/controllers/posts_controller.php, line 16] Code public function add() { if ($this-&gt;request-&gt;is('post')) { PostsController::add() - APP/controllers/posts_controller.php, line 16 Object::dispatchMethod() - CORE/cake/libs/object.php, line 116 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/cake/dispatcher.php, line 227 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/cake/dispatcher.php, line 194 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 88 Fatal error: Call to a member function is() on a non-object in shared/THS/test/www/MyCake/app/controllers/posts_controller.php on line 16 </code></pre> <p>Thanks for any help you can provide.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
