Thanks, but no luck. The access log doesn't show anything strange that
I can see. But, I still see Debugger's statements repeated a couple
seconds later.
But, the strangest thing of all is this:
public function add($media_type_slug = null)
{
die(debug($this->data));
die(Debugger::dump($this->data));
...
This prints the data just fine. All of it is there, as I'd expect it.
Sadly, I have to kill the data in order to save it, as it were ;-)
However, when I comment the first line, I get an array with only the
model name keys, both of which contain empty arrays, in turn. That is,
not even any fieldname keys.
array(
"Record" => array(),
"Discipline" => array()
)
So, unless I've missed something crucial in the docs, something's
quite wrong here. I'd post this to Trac but I wouldn't know where to
begin to write a test case for this.
The thing is, I've no idea if they're even related. The Debugger
statements are not causing the data to disappear--if I comment them
all, I'm still left with a damaged $data array.
You can imagine how much fun this is, given I'm SO close to putting
this site live :-(
