CakePHP需要模型索引数组，但不能从for循环计数器生成。 需要模型索引数组才能工作

Question

I am working on a function that submits multiple records on various relationship types. The main issue I am running into is the format of the array. In order for my saveAll() to work on my multiple relationships setup, the array needs to be in this format as you can see the models are Keys (first array below).

My main question is: 1) Is it possible to strip the numerical indexes off the second layer of the second array below?

I am returning my input fields like so. You can see the prefixed counter (which I believe is what is creating the numeric index on that second level).

<?php echo $this->Form->input("$i.monthly_cost", array('label' => 'Monthly Cost')); ?>

I am using a for loop counter for the fields. So my question number to is: can this for value be changed to something that will work with Cake's saveAll()?

<?php for ($i = 1; $i <= 2; $i++) { ?>

Example where models are the keys (this is the format I need):

Array
(
[User] => Array
    (
        [username] => billy
    )
[Profile] => Array
    (
        [sex] => Male
    [occupation] => Programmer
    )

The only output I can get on my multiple input array (below is the debug() dump)

My actual output is numerically indexed:

Array
(
[Plan] => Array
    (
        [1] => Array
            (
                [plan_detail_id] => 36
                [monthly_cost] => 0
                [dental_cost] => 0
                [age_id] => 14
                [applicant_id] => 1
                [state_id] => 1
            )

        [2] => Array
            (
                [plan_detail_id] => 36
                [monthly_cost] => 0
                [dental_cost] => 0
                [age_id] => 2
                [applicant_id] => 4
                [state_id] => 1
            )

    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [1] => Array
            (
                [Zip] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => 487
                        [1] => 486
                        [2] => 485
                        [3] => 484
                        [4] => 483
                    )

            )

    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [2] => Array
            (
                [Zip] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => 485
                        [1] => 484
                        [2] => 483
                    )

            )

    )

)

Did you already check out the Set Core Utility Library ? This can help you out a lot with array management.
