actually I am doing this on cakephp this is my code.
$allleaves = $this->Leavetype->find('all', array(
'joins' => array(
array(
'table' => 'vacations',
'alias' => 'vacationsJoin',
'type' => 'left',
'conditions' => array('vacationsJoin.sub_leave_type = Leavetype.type')
)
),
'conditions' => array(
'vacationsJoin.user_id' => $_SESSION['Auth']['User']['id'],
'vacationsJoin.from_date BETWEEN ? and ?' => array(date('Y') . '-01-01',
date('Y') . '-12-31')
),
'fields' => array('type', 'days', '(SUM(working_days)) as used'),
'group' => 'sub_leave_type',
));
$this->set(compact('allleaves'));
This not out out that what i want, I want is all the row of left table and others from vacations table

Answer 2

I was correct the problem here is the answer. main problem was in GROUP
$allleaves = $this->Leavetype->find('all', array(
'joins' => array(
array(
'table' => 'vacations',
'alias' => 'vacationsJoin',
'type' => 'left',
'conditions' => array('vacationsJoin.sub_leave_type = Leavetype.type',
'vacationsJoin.user_id' => $_SESSION['Auth']['User']['id'],
'vacationsJoin.from_date BETWEEN ? and ?' => array(date('Y') . '-01-01',
date('Y') . '-12-31'),'vacationsJoin.status'=>'approved'
)
)
),
'fields' => array('type', 'days', '(SUM(working_days)) as used'),
'group' => 'type'
));
$this->set(compact('allleaves'));
