I’ve created a database, made a few tables, and finally baked one of those tables which follows convention. When going to review the scaffold and insert an entry into the database I get the error “cannot convert value to integer”. This is totally baked code no human input at all. Which is why this is totally baffling to me. Anyone else ever see this?

yes it happened to me also. There is a good chance it is a cakephp / php version mismatch.

What are your versions of these?

I’ve figured it out, is there a list anywhere of namespaces/keywords which cannot be used?
