Handling spatial data in CakePHP

问题

I have a database with a field for spatial data and a cakephp interface for it. In MySQL I can save the data by doing:

INSERT INTO nodes (Location) VALUES (GeomFromText('POINT(42.450071 -76.487664)'))

How can I make Cake take the latitude and longitude from a web form and insert it in this manner? I made a model that reads spatial data but I can't figure out how to make it write in spatial format.

Thanks for any insight.

It's a little tricky to find in the manual unless you know what to look for, but this should help you: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1027/query

e.g. something along the lines of:

$gLat = 42.450071;
$gLong = -76.487664;
$this->Node->query("INSERT INTO nodes (Location) VALUES (GeomFromText('POINT({$gLat} {$gLong})'))");
