CakePHP 1.3xx Search Form Query Plugin ( w/ MySQL ) Tutorial w/ Code Examples

In this tutorial, I go over all of the CakePHP code (in plugins, model, controller and view) to implement the CakeDC Search Plugin (w/ MySQL) & Sample-Search-Application (also by CakeDC). **NOTE**As far as I understand, this plugin is only working with the CakePHP 1.3xx release (based on the CakeDC requirements).

This tutorial will get you up and running to create a valid working MySQL query easily (with pagination!) within the parameters of the CakePHP framework using the above mentioned plugin and sample code.

Please feel free to post your questions and comments. I am glad to help : )
