Re: New to CakePHP

look into /app/config/bootstrap.php file 

you should have settings something like: 

 Configure::write('Site.contact_email', 'whatever@your_site.com');
 Configure::write('Site.contact_email_subject', 'some subject');

Help,

Im a fairly experienced php coder however Ive been given access to a site (as the author is no longer contactable) written using CakePHP and Im totally and utterly lost as to how to make the fairly urgently required fixes.

Theres a contact form on one of the pages which doesnt work, no error messages to say whats wrong, Its meant to send an email to the site owner but nothing is ever received. Now this could be as simple as the wrong email address being used through to there simply being no back end code for sending the mail.

ive found a file called "contacts_controller.php" which contains an email function which is clearly designed to send the relevant emails however the bit thats losing me is:

$email_to = Configure::read('Site.contact_email');
$email_subject = Configure::read('Site.contact_email_subject');
$email_from = Configure::read('Site.contact_email_from');

I cant find anywhere, either in the site server files or the relevant database anything that appears to hold these variables.

Am I being dim?
