do it for xml data... example for parsing xml data as array

App::import('Xml');

Hi fellow CakePHP enthusiasts.

I have a problem which I'm sure is probably pretty simple but I am not

How to make available a feature implementation

2009-11-05T18:59:46Z

In my project I needed to get the last violation constraint name

Just looking for some opinions here.

I am working on an app and frustrated with forms.

Basic site layout is 2 column layout 200px wide left side (menu) , 700px
wide main right section (page content).

I have some forms that fill up the page, others are 2 or 3 fields so a full
