Thank you received: 53

I have writen some custom code in a save model which I need to be able to detect if a record is being created or updated

I thought I could do this by detecting if ID was specified as a new record would not have an ID, but this was not correct.. here is the sniippet of code. How can I alter it to detect NEW or UPDATED record

Here is the code... in ALL instances wether creating a new record or updating it, $data[ID] is always true

if (parent::save($data)) {

    if (isset($data['id'])) {
        // do this
    } else {
        // do that
    }
    return true;
}

I just made a slight alteration Instead of using if (isset($data['id'])) ust alter it to if ($data['id']) { This works.. who would have thought... Morgan Leecy MCSE Novell / Linux PHP.

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
