Cakephp uses a different model inside the current model

Question

I know that I can use another model inside the controller by doing $this->loadModel("MyModel") , but how to do it in another model? I tried using loadModel, but that did not work.

Any idea?

thanks

Easier:

 $my_model = ClassRegistry::init('MyModel');

Answer 2

You can use the following code to export a model that is not associated with the current model:

 App::import('Model', 'MyModel'); $my_model = new MyModel(); 

If MyModel is associated with the current model, you can use a chain, for example. $this->SomeModel->MyModel

Answer 3

You do not need to import anything. Just do the following:

 $my_model = new MyModel(); //Then $my_model->read(null,$id);
