    <p>I am working for the first time in cakephp for a project I am developing. In a view I have an array that I want to be able to use a controller function in it.</p> <p>The array I have the info in is this one </p> <pre><code> $linkedinInfo </code></pre> <p>And then in the view I was using a form to send the array from the view to the controller</p> <pre><code> $this-&gt;Form-&gt;create('LinkedinData', array('controller'=&gt;'Users','type' =&gt; 'post', 'action' =&gt; 'add')); $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('User', $linkedinInfo); $this-&gt;Form-&gt;end('submit'); </code></pre> <p>Add being add being a function in the Users controller that was not developed by me. The function being </p> <pre><code> public function add() { if ($this-&gt;request-&gt;is('post')) { $this-&gt;User-&gt;create(); if ($this-&gt;User-&gt;save($this-&gt;request-&gt;data)) { $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash(__('The user has been saved')); $this-&gt;redirect(array('action' =&gt; 'index')); } else { $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.')); }} </code></pre> <p>I am getting the error "Array to string conversion" in this, I am not very familiar with working in CakePHP but I don't see why I get this since the Cookboek uses everything like me <a href="http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/form.html" rel="nofollow">http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/form.html</a></p> <hr> <p>Edit: LinkedinInfo is an array that I obtain through the Linkedin API and then I posteriorly edit it. Here a sample of the structure just for the recomendations part</p> <pre><code>[linkedin_recomendations] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; Array ( [name] =&gt; test1 [relationship] =&gt; education [text] =&gt; Hello world ) [1] =&gt; Array ( [name] =&gt; test2 [relationship] =&gt; colleague [text] =&gt; Derp ) ) </code></pre> <p>What I am trying to do is to send this information to the UsersController where it will create an user with it in a Mongodb database</p>

    1. COyour whole form is pretty screwed up. the controller key is invalid in your create() without `url => array()`. besides, its lowercase `users`. Your input field should be `Modelname.field_name` and only contain a single value (unless its some dropdown or multiple field).

    2. COAre you sure? Because I don't see examples with url==>"array". Regarding the input field, my array is a multidimensional array, so does that mean I will have to put every field one by one?

    3. COWhat exactly are you trying to achieve? 1) what does the **content** of `$linkedInInfod` look like? 2) Where does `$linkedInInfod` come from? Does it need to be showed inside the form first, or do you want to insert it in the database without additional user-interaction? Please add the information to your question via the [edit] link

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.
