Cakephp Session object destruction failed / session_regenerate_id() annoyance

While writing a webapp I suddenly started getting this error:

Session object destruction failed

Apparently it is related to session_regenerate_id(). For now I have solved it by setting security.level to medium in core.php.

On my todo list for a proper fix before release.

Print Arrays nicely using pr

I recently had to do some debugging of arrays. Print_r() is very, very ugly:
Array ( [0] => struct SidAndAttributesType { string SecurityIdentifier; unsignedInt Attributes; } [1] => struct NonEmptyArrayOfGroupIdentifiersType { SidAndAttributesType GroupIdentifier; } [2] => struct
I did some research and found a nice solution: use pr() instead of print_r.
Array
(
    [0] => struct SidAndAttributesType {
 string SecurityIdentifier;
 unsignedInt Attributes;
}
    [1] => struct NonEmptyArrayOfGroupIdentifiersType {
 SidAndAttributesType GroupIdentifier;
}
    [2] => struct NonEmptyArrayOfRestrictedGroupIdentifiersType {
 SidAndAttributesType RestrictedGroupIdentifier;
}
Shorter, simpler, sweeter!

Cakephp set page title

To set the page title in cakephp, put this in your controller method:
$this->set('title', 'My Page Title');

Cakephp home.ctp/index controller and a controller without a model

1) Create a new controller (the one below has no model)
class DashboardsController extends AppController {
	var $name = 'Dashboards';
	var $uses = array();
		function index() {
 
	}
}
2) Reroute in routes.php in the app folder.
 
Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'dashboards', 'action' => 'index'));

Just wasted 20 minutes looking for whitespace...

I just wasted 20 minutes going through files looking for a white space that was causing "headers already sent" error message on login. I finally found it BEFORE the <? (i was looking at the ?> end).

Grrr....
