Blacklist your model fields for save()…

You’ve probably heard that in order to make your save() more secure, you can pass-in a third parameter of only those fields that you’d like to save (all others will be ignored).

However, in some cases it would make more sense to “blacklist” one or two fields, rather than “whitelist” a whole bunch of required fields.

An awesome tip from Nate, shows just how to accomplish this…

$blackList = array('protected', 'fields', 'here');
$this->Model->save($this->data, true, array_diff(array_keys($this-> Model->schema()), $blackList));

Quite clever indeed.
