cakephp表格/约会帮手

I have 3 dropdwons for day month and year. I was combining them till recently to save date_of_inspection in the db in mysql format. I was using the Day, month and year cakephp form helpers.This is what i was doing

$this->data['Cabinet']['date_of_inspection'] =
    $this->data['Cabinet']['date_of_inspection']['year'].'-'.
    $this->data['Cabinet']['date_of_inspection']['month'].'-'.
    $this->data['Cabinet']['date_of_inspection']['day'];

I removed the above line and still the date was being stored in mysql date format. How come ?? Does cakephp do it.

In short, yes. Date and time "subarrays" are automatically deconstructed as part of the save process.
