A way to find one in CakePHP
Never ever use read(), always use find(first):
$item = $this->Item->find('first', $options);
see http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/retrieving-your-data.html#find-first
read() is concidered bad practice as it changes the model itself and usually does more harm than good - especially if you don't know or expect the exact results of this method.

The model method read() in CakePHP returns only one record, so we don't need to loop arround the result set as follws:
//In Controller $item = $this->Item->read(null,$id); $this->set(compact('item')); //In View echo $item['Item']['title'];
However, I'd like to be able to control the result through some conditions and read() method does not offer the ability to add conditions, so I have to use find() method as follows:
//In controller $item = $this->Item->find('all',array('conditions' => array('id' => $id, 'lock' => 'yes'))); $this->set(compact('item')); //In View echo $item[0]['Item']['title'];
Is there any solution allows find to return only one record, i.e. I don't have to deal with $item[0] and just $item as the first example?

mark about 11 yearsits not. at least not in the current versions of it. what source are you referring to? it has also been removed from the (official) tutorials. See: github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/master/lib/Cake/Console/…

SaidbakR about 11 years@mark The upgrade is very good idea. However, I stuck at some projects I started them with CakePHP 1.2.x and I don't need more time delay in-order to manage migration.
