Call to a member function on a non-object
I have just started learning cake php and am attempting to create a very simple registration form consisting of one field. I'm having trouble interacting with my model however. Code below:
This is my Register Controller:
class RegisterController extends AppController{
public $helpers = array('Form', 'Html', 'Js');
public function index(){
}
}
This is my register controllers index.ctp view:
echo $this->Form->create('Users', array('controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'createUser'));
echo $this->Form->input('username');
echo $this->Form->end('Register');
I then created a UsersController.php file and a Users.php (model) file to handle the validation and saving of the form data.
UsersController.php:
class UsersController extends AppController{
public function createUser(){
$this->Users->create();
$this->Users->save($this->Request->data);
}
}
And the Users.php model file:
class Users extends AppModel {
public $validation = array(
'username' => array(
'rule1' => array(
'rule' => 'isUnique',
'message' => 'That username is already taken'
),
'rule2' => array(
'rule' => 'nonEmpty',
'message' => 'This field cannot be empty',
'required' => true
)
)
);
}
Whenever I hit the 'register' button on my form however, I get the following error:
Call to a member function create() on a non-object
It's referring to the following line in my UsersController.php file:
$this->Users->create();
I have a users table created in my cake database that the php files can see it. I don't understand why my UsersController.php file can't write to its model?
