More on this: I put this in the controller:
function beforeFilter()
{
die(debug($this->data));
}
So, when I submitted the form, all the data was right where it should
be. (Obviously, I commented it to get the form to display). So, its
disappearing act comes somewhere between beforeFilter() and add().
I've been trying to hunt down the precise order of operations but have
come up empty-handed. I know that I saw it somewhere once (it'd be
nice if this was included in the Cookbook's "A Typical CakePHP
Request" page). Is there anything between beforeFilter() and the
controller's action??
Before doing this, btw, there was no beforeFilter(). I've commented
AppController::beforeFilter(). I commented the $components array.
There's nothing in the model (nor AppModel) that would screw with the
data.
This was working earlier. Well, it was broken (it's early going) but I
could debugger::log($this->data) just fine before. I must have done
*something* to screw this up but, after staring at it for a couple of
hours now, I'm absolutely fresh out of ideas.
