CakePHP - get last query run

Question

I want to get the last query CakePHP ran. I can\'t turn debug on in core.php and I can\'t run the code locally. I need a way to get the last sql query and log it to the erro

Answer 1

There are two methods to view the query in CakePHP.

Both methods you have to add the below one line in app/Config/core.php

Configure::write('debug', 2); 

First methods :

debug($this->getLastQuery()); 

where you want to get the query add above line and call this function getLastQuery() on same controller using below code

public function getLastQuery() {
    $dbo = $this->TModel->getDatasource();  //Here TModel is a model.what table you want to print 
    $logs = $dbo->getLog();
    $lastLog = end($logs['log']);
    return $lastLog['query'];
}

second method :

add the below line in the any Elements files.

element('sql_dump'); ?>
