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.
