           'foreignKey' => false,

        ),
);
}

is there is any method to doing this?

Answer 1

first need to make the array for ids.

$storIds = array(2,4,7);  

Then you have 2 ways to execute this query.

first:

public 'hasMany' => array(
    'Specialization' => array(
       'className' => 'Specialization',
       'foreignKey' => false,
       'conditions' => 'FIND_IN_SET(\''. $storeIds .'\',Specialization.id)',
       )
    ),
);

second

'conditions' => array('Specialization.id' => $storIds)

Answer 2

I think you can do the following:

$ListOfIds = new array(1,2,3,4);

And then use it in conditions like this

'conditions' => array('Specialization.id' => $ListOfIds)
