Morning,

I'm currently working my way through a series of tutorials from IBM's
developer network called "Cook up Web sites fast with CakePHP". The
XAMPP 1.4.9 development platform consists of PHP Version 5.0.2, MySQL
3.23.57.

Here is an excerpt of code provided in the tutorial, which is used to
create a model:

<?php
class Dealer extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Dealer';
var $hasMany = array ('Product' => array(
'className' => 'Product',
'conditions'=>,
'order'=>,
'foreignKey'=>'dealer_id')
);
}
?>


Eclipse produces an error underneath the comma directly after the
'conditions' field, which says:
"Parse error: "Static/scalar constant expected.""

I changed the code above, got it working and continued through the
tutorial:

<?php
class Dealer extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Dealer';
var $hasMany = array (
"Product" =>
array("className","Product","conditions","order","foreignKey","dealer_id"));
}
?>

The system works fine until I used Bake to implement an ACL. Each time
a new user registers, a rule is supposed to be enterred into the db
which defines what access level they have, but it doesn't work. When a
new user registers a new record should appear in the ACL tables. This
is the only thing that I can think might have caused a problem.

What is the difference between " => " and " -> " in PHP?

Cheers,

Michael
