more: I put this immediately inside add()
die(debug($this->data));
Debugger::dump($this->data);
This dumps the data--intact--onto the page. When I comment out the
die() line, I get:
array(
"Record" => array(),
"Discipline" => array()
)
I can't see how this possibly could be a PEBCAK situation, though I'd
be grateful just to figure this out.
How the heck can the data be disappearing like this?!
I realise this probably isn't a Debugger problem and I really should
open a new thread, but Debugger sure isn't helping, in any case. That,
and the repeated writes to the log make me wonder. But, all the same,
with no Debugger calls, the data still goes bye-bye.
HELP!
