how can I filter data cumulatively in CakePHP -



how can I filter data cumulatively in CakePHP -

i'm relatively new cakephp , object oriented programming. have built apps in cakephp before, never extent, hence reason i'm asking help.

i have big product management database, user needs able set filter criteria find closest product matches.

the products table contains category_id, manufacturer_id, type_id, status_id related respective tables.

i have sidebar dropdown boxes each filter, , want filters work together, instance, if manufacturer , product type selected, display filtered results, , alter status , category dropdowns contain options filtered results.

in past have accomplished using dynamic query setting conditions based on user input, appending clauses each time filter applied.

so far i've been able individually filtered results using

$this->product->recursive = 0; $mid = (isset($this->params['named']['mid'])) ? $this->params['named']['mid'] : ''; if(!empty($mid)){ $this->paginate = array( 'conditions' => array('product.manufacturer_id' => $mid), 'limit' => 10 ); } $products = $this->paginate('product'); $this->set(compact('products'));

where 'mid' manufacturer id, , manually entering 'mid' in url

how cumulatively filter results if user sets category_id, manufacturer_id, type_id, status_id or combination? , queries utilize repopulate dropdowns?

(eventually utilize ajax, assume have 4 dropdown boxes submit button)

the long way be:

var $conditions = array(); if (isset($this->params['named']['mid']) && !empty($this->params['named']['mid'])){ $conditions['product.manufacturer_id'] = $this->params['named']['mid']); } if (isset($this->params['named']['catid']) && !empty($this->params['named']['catid'])){ $conditions['product.category_id'] = $this->params['named']['catid']); } if (isset($this->params['named']['statid']) && !empty($this->params['named']['statid'])){ $conditions['product.status_id'] = $this->params['named']['statid']); } $this->paginate['conditions'] = $conditions; $this->paginate['limit'] = '10'; $this->set('products', $this->paginate('product'));

once hang of that, set checks loop.

Accessing MATLAB's unicode strings from C - how can access underlying unicode info of matlab strings through matlab engine or mex c interfaces? here's example. let's set unicode characters in utf-8 encoded file test.txt, read as fid=fopen('test.txt','r','l','utf-8'); s=fscanf(fid, '%s') in matlab. now if first feature('defaultcharacterset', 'utf-8') , c engevalstring(ep, "s") , output text file utf-8. proves matlab stores unicode internally. if mxarraytostring(enggetvariable(ep, "s")) , unicode2native(s, 'latin-1') give me in matlab: non-latin-1 characters replaced character code 26. need getting access underlying unicode info c string in unicode format (utf-8, utf-16, etc.), , preserving non-latin-1 characters. is possible? my platform os x, matlab r2012b. addendum: documentation explicitly states "[mxarraytostring()] supports multibyte encoded characters...
