@Sherlock. I'm not sure where in either of my posts you gathered enough information to assume with such certainty this question had anything to do with migration. I believe this is the second time you've posted a snyde and off topic answer to one of my questions. I, and I'm sure other newcomers to the cake community would appreciate it if you framed your responses to be more helpful.
@Ryan. Again I thank you for your help. Though I am working with a 1.2 version of Cake. I'm studying 1.2 because I have a large legacy system I'm trying to debug and eventually upgrade. The issues I'm encountering here are not likely being caused by Cake versioning. Unless I've missed something, the online documentation doesn't mention anything about common incompatibilities or volitilities with these Helpers. So I'm completely dumbfounded as to why these functions are not working on my system. I'm not sure if my assumptions of the HttpRequests being at fault are correct or not, though any clues someone could give me would be MUCH appreciated.
