Well, the documentation says it's *deprecated* (not that it's obsolete or removed) so there is the expectation that the old methods would still work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecation ("Features are deprecated—rather than being removed—in order to provide backward compatibility and give programmers who have used the feature time to bring their code into compliance with the new standard.") I have not attempted to use these features, so I don't know whether they actually do still work in 1.3, or whether they're really broken (if the latter, the documentation should be updated to say so and not give false expectations). I guess the lesson is that if you really want to learn using a CakePHP 1.2 book, you might have better success by using CakePHP 1.2. Once you've learned how that works, you can read through the 1.2-to-1.3 migration docs to upgrade to 1.3. Or, forget the book you have, and instead read the online cookbook and/or tutorials written for CakePHP 1.3 and start with that. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
