How to check if record exists in Cakephp 3
I am writing this blog for them who are learning Cakephp 3. This blog will going to help you to find the solution for checking if record exists.
In Cakephp 2 we can check records which exist by using Model::hasAny . For Example:
$conditions = array( 'User.id' => $this->Session->read('User.id'),
'User.security_key' => $this->Session->read('User.key') );
if ($this->User->hasAny($conditions)){
//do something
}
In Cakephp 3.x we can check if record already exists in the database by using exists. For Example:
$userTable = TableRegistry::get('User');
$exists = $userTable->exists(['name' => 'user', 'active' => false]);
Thats all.
Thanks for reading the blog.
