CakePHP - get last query run - mysql

Question

I want to get the last query CakePHP ran. I can't turn debug on in core.php and I can't run the code locally. I need a way to get the last sql query and log it to the error log without effecting the live site. This query is failing but is being run.
something like this would be great:
$this->log($this->ModelName->lastQuery);
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

For Cake 2.0, the query log is protected so this will work
function getLastQuery() {
$dbo = $this->getDatasource();
$logs = $dbo->getLog();
$lastLog = end($logs['log']);
return $lastLog['query'];
}

Answer 2

Tested in CakePHP v2.3.2
$log = $this->Model->getDataSource()->getLog(false, false);
debug($log);

Answer 3

In CakePHP 1.x, the data you want is accessible in DataSource::_queriesLog. Cake doesn't really provide a getter method for this member, but the underlying language being PHP, nothing stops you from doing the following:
In app/app_model.php:
function getLastQuery()
{
$dbo = $this->getDatasource();
$logs = $dbo->_queriesLog;
return end($logs);
}

Answer 4

You can use this inline.
$dbo = $this->Model->getDatasource();
// store old state
$oldStateFullDebug = $dbo->fullDebug;
// turn fullDebug on
$dbo->fullDebug = true;
// Your code here! eg.
$this->Model->find('all');
// write to logfile
// use print_r with second argument to return a dump of the array
Debugger::log(print_r($dbo->_queriesLog, true));
// restore fullDebug
$dbo->fullDebug = $oldStateFullDebug;

Answer 5

Simple you can use showLog() function
var_dump($this->YourModel->getDataSource()->showLog());

Answer 6

This is a very late answer, i know, but for whoever needs this in the future, you can always restrict setting debug to your IP, For example:
Configure::write('debug', 0);
if($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] == '192.168.0.100'){
Configure::write('debug', 2); //Enables debugging only for your IP.
}

Answer 7

Combination of Matt's and blavia's solution (works when debug is not 2):
$dbo = $this->Model->getDatasource();
$oldStateFullDebug = $dbo->fullDebug;
$dbo->fullDebug = true;
// find or whatever...
$this->Model->find("all");
$logs = $dbo->getLog();
$lastLog = end($logs['log']);
CakeLog::write("DBLog", $lastLog['query']);
$dbo->fullDebug = $oldStateFullDebug;

Answer 8

Having a quick skim of the book, cakephp api getLog you could turn on logTransaction. Although having not used it, I'm not sure how it will perform.
Otherwise you could experiment with FirePHP and here is the a guide for it,
You might try DebugKit, although off the top of my head I think you do still need debug 2 to get it to work.
Hopefully something might give you a lead. :)

Answer 9

You can use this:
$log = $this->Model->getDataSource()->getLog(false, false);
pr($log);die;

Answer 10

There are two methods to view the query in CakePHP.
Both methods you have to add the below one line in app/Config/core.php
Configure::write('debug', 2);
First methods :
debug($this->getLastQuery());
where you want to get the query add above line and call this function getLastQuery() on same controller using below code
public function getLastQuery() {
$dbo = $this->TModel->getDatasource(); //Here TModel is a model.what table you want to print
$logs = $dbo->getLog();
$lastLog = end($logs['log']);
return $lastLog['query'];
}
second method :
add the below line in the any Elements files.
<?php echo $this->element('sql_dump'); ?>

Answer 11

This will help you.
echo '<pre>';
$log = $this->YOUR_MODEL->getDataSource();
print_r($log);
exit;
