Simple CRUD Operation in CakePHP 2.x

This tutorial will explain about CRUD Operation in CakePHP. Here we will perform mysql Insert, Select, Update, Delete operation in cakePHP Framework. As we know CakePHP uses MVC design patterns.

Here we will cover following points:
1. MySQL Database Table Used
2. We are using CakePHP Version 2.x
3. Create/Select/Update/Delete records.

We have assume that you have already created you database table. Here is simple users table structure.
CREATE TABLE `users` (
  `id` bigint(20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL primary key AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `firstname` varchar(128) NOT NULL,
  `lastname` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL,
  `username` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL,
  `password` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL,
  `email` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL,
  `created` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
  `modified` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
)

Create action inside Users controller.
Controller: app/Controller/UsersController.php

Create add function inside controller: add() function is used to save data. Here we are using "User" model.
public function add() 
{
  if ($this->request->is(array('post', 'put'))) {
{
$this->User->create();
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) 
{
$this->Session->setFlash(('Users has been saved successfully'));
return $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'index'));
} else 
{
$this->Session->setFlash(('User could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
}
}
}

Create view file for add action
View: app/View/Users/add.ctp

<h1>Add User</h1>
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('User');
echo $this->Form->input('firstname');
echo $this->Form->input('lastname');
echo $this->Form->input('username');
echo $this->Form->input('password');
echo $this->Form->input('email');
echo $this->Form->end('Save');
?>

Create edit function: In edit(), here $id parameter to access an existing record. 
public function edit($id = null) {
if (!$this->User->exists($id)) {
throw new NotFoundException(_('Invalid user'));
}
if ($this->request->is(array('post', 'put'))) {
$this->User->id = $id;
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(('The user has been saved.'));
return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
}
} else {
$this->request->data = $this->User->findById($id);
}
}

View file for edit action
View: app/View/Users/edit.ctp

<h1>Edit User</h1>
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('User');
echo $this->Form->input('firstname');
echo $this->Form->input('lastname');
echo $this->Form->input('username');
echo $this->Form->input('email');
echo $this->Form->input('id', array('type' => 'hidden'));
echo $this->Form->end('Save User');
?>

Create Delete Function: delete() function deletes the data which is ID. 
public function delete($id = null) {
$this->User->id = $id;
if (!$this->User->exists()) {
throw new NotFoundException(('Invalid user'));
}
if ($this->User->delete()) {
$this->Session->setFlash(('The user has been deleted.'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(('The user could not be deleted. Please, try again.'));
}
return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}

Index Function: index() action is used to fetch data from database users table 

public function index()
{
$users = $this->User->find('all');
$this->set('users', $users);
}
View: app/View/Users/index.ctp
<h2>Users</h2>
<!-- link to add new users-->
<div class='pull-right'>
    <?php echo $this->Html->link( '+ New User', array( 'action' => 'add' ) ); ?>
</div> 
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>First Name</th>
        <th>Last Name</th>
        <th>Username</th>
        <th>Email</th>
        <th>Actions</th>
    </tr>
<?php
    //loop to show all fetched records
    foreach( $users as $user ){
     
        echo "<tr>";
            echo "<td>{$user['User']['firstname']}</td>";
            echo "<td>{$user['User']['lastname']}</td>";
            echo "<td>{$user['User']['username']}</td>";
            echo "<td>{$user['User']['email']}</td>";            
            //here are the links to edit and delete actions
            echo "<td class='actions'>";
                echo $this->Html->link( 'Edit', array('action' => 'edit', $user['User']['id']) );
                echo $this->Form->postLink( 'Delete', array(
                        'action' => 'delete', 
                        $user['User']['id']), array(
                            'confirm'=>'Are you sure you want to delete that user?' ) );
            echo "</td>";
        echo "</tr>";
    }
?>    
</table>
