--MySQL CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users ( user_id INT NOT NULL auto_increment, name VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL, password VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL, time_zone DECIMAL(5,1) NOT NULL, created DATETIME DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (user_id) ) ENGINE = InnoDB;
Recently i have started another CakePHP project. i found that the example in Ajax implementation on CakePHP @ 2 should be changed as follow.
ajax_controller.php
<?php
Class AjaxController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Ajax';
var $helpers = array('Form','Html','Javascript', 'Ajax');
var $components = array('RequestHandler');
function afterAjaxAction () {
// get the $this->data to collect the form information
// save the object to database
// render the after_ajax_call.ctp
$this->render('/elements/layout/after_ajax_call');
}

After working for about one year, the BHJS Alumni website phase 2 is completed. But after it is deployed in production server, i found that some email addresses are regarded as invalid email address. The email validation rule which i used is provided by CakePHP. Only email addresses ended with .com, .org etc… could pass the validation rule.
So i ask the Google teacher and luckily i am not the only one to come across this problem.
