首先建立数据库cake_ext，并执行如下sql文：
CREATETABLE`companies`(`id`int(11)NOTNULLauto_increment,`company`varchar(50)NOTNULL,`price`decimal(8,2)NOTNULL,`change`decimal(8,2)NOTNULL,`lastudp`dateNOTNULL,PRIMARYKEY(`id`))ENGINE=MyISAMAUTO_INCREMENT=8DEFAULTCHARSET=utf8;--------------------------------Records------------------------------INSERTINTO`companies`VALUES('1','3mCo','71.72','0.02','2008-10-21');INSERTINTO`companies`VALUES('2','AlcoaInc','29.01','0.42','2008-10-20');INSERTINTO`companies`VALUES('3','AT&TInc.','31.61','-0.48','2008-10-21');INSERTINTO`companies`VALUES('4','BoeingCo.','75.43','0.53','2008-10-13');INSERTINTO`companies`VALUES('5','UnitedTechnologiesCorporation','63.26','0.55','2008-10-09');INSERTINTO`companies`VALUES('6','IntelCorporation','19.88','0.31','2008-10-15');INSERTINTO`companies`VALUES('7','ExxonMobilCorp','68.10','-0.43','2008-10-17');如下图所示建立工程：
数据库配置文件如下：
classDATABASE_CONFIG{var$default=array('driver'=>'mysql','connect'=>'mysql_connect','host'=>'localhost','login'=>'root','password'=>'root','database'=>'cake_ext','prefix'=>'');var$test=array('driver'=>'mysql','connect'=>'mysql_connect','host'=>'localhost','login'=>'root','password'=>'root','database'=>'cake_ext','prefix'=>'');}companies_controller.php：
<?phpclassCompaniesControllerextendsAppController{var$name='Companies';functionindex(){$this->set('companies',$this->Company->findAll());}functionview($id=null){$this->Company->id=$id;$this->set('company',$this->Company->read());}}?>company.php：
<?phpclassCompanyextendsAppModel{var$name='Company';}?>index.thtml：
<h1>Testcompanies</h1><table><tr><th>Id</th><th>company</th><th>price</th><th>change</th><th>lastupdate</th></tr><?phpforeach($companiesas$company):?><tr><td><?phpecho$company['Company']['id'];?></td><td><?phpecho$html->link($company['Company']['company'],"/companies/view/".$company['Company']['id']);?></td><td><?phpecho$company['Company']['price'];?></td><td><?phpecho$company['Company']['change'];?></td><td><?phpecho$company['Company']['lastudp'];?></td></tr><?phpendforeach;?></table>view.thtml：
<h1>Company:<?phpecho$company['Company']['company']?></h1><p><small>Id:<?phpecho$company['Company']['id']?></small></p><p>Price:<?phpecho$company['Company']['price']?></p><p>Change:<?phpecho$company['Company']['change']?></p><p>LastUpdate:<?phpecho$company['Company']['lastudp']?></p>访问http://localhost/cakephp/companies即可运行测试程序。
