Not getting right alias name with Cakephp - mysql

Question

I am new on CakePHP and facing a problem with SQL Alias.
I want to make an Excel file to generate a report from the MySQL database.
/**
* Generate transaction report
*
* #param none
*
* #return void
*/
public function generateReport()
{
//Getting data from the database to generate the report in Excel file
$data = $this->AchTransaction->find('all', array(
//'conditions' => $searchCondition,
'fields' => array(
"payee_name AS PAYEENAME",
'reference AS REFERENCE',
'reference2 AS REFERENCE2',
'currency AS CURRENCY',
'amount AS PAYOUTAMOUNT',
'bank_name AS BANKNAME',
'bank_branch_name AS BANKBRANCHNAME',
'bank_address AS BANKADDRESS',
'bank_country AS BANKCOUNTRY',
'account_name AS ACCOUNTNAME',
'account_class AS ACCOUNTCLASS',
'account_type AS ACCOUNTTYPE',
'bank_routing_number AS BANKROUTING',
'account_number AS ACCOUNT',
'beneficiary_address AS BENEFICIARYADDRESS',
'beneficiary_city AS BENEFICIARYCITY',
'beneficiary_state AS BENEFICIARYSTATE',
'beneficiary_postcode AS BENEFICIARYZIPCODE',
'beneficiary_country AS BENEFICIARYCOUNTRY',
'note as NOTE'
),
'order' => array('AchTransaction.id DESC')
));
// Generating Excel file
$this->Common->generateReport($data);
}
I am able to generate the Excel but having only one problem in alias, As you can see
"payee_name AS PAYEENAME",
Here the payee_name is the name of column or field in MySQL table, and I want this as PAYEE NAME, but when I write:
"payee_name AS PAYEE NAME",
I am getting this MySQL error:
Database Error
Error: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'payee_name AS PAYEE NAME' in 'field list'

Can you please help me to get the name of payee_name field as PAYEE NAME?

Answer 1

Change
"payee_name AS PAYEE NAME",
to
"`payee_name` AS `PAYEE NAME`"
Another option is using virtualFields
$this->AchTransaction->virtualFields['PAYEE NAME'] = 'payee_name';
array('fields' => array('PAYEE NAME', 'etc'))
