how do i see cakephp database save errors?

Question

if i have a cake php saveAll method like so:

if ($this->Video->saveAll($this->data)){
    ... // stuff that never happens, sadly
} else {
    ...
    $this->Session->setFlash('boo! hss! error here');
}

how do i print out the database error? I tried:

    $this->Session->setFlash('boo! hss! error here' . print_r($this->Video->validationErrors,true);

but that didn't work (it just showed me an empty array)

cheerio!

UPDATE: ah. So, the problem is that, while normally i'd get the database error, i was using the old prg mechanism, and cake doesn't (magically) show the db errors on redirect pages.

Fair enough, but in the future, how the heck am i meant to see the db errors on a redirect page (that is, the question still stands, its just that most people probably just SEE the error, and don't need to do anything to get it)

Maybe the debug() function does what you need?

make sure debug is set to 2 in config/core.php
print error messages to the log file like so:

$this->log(print_r($this->Video->validationErrors, true));
