well using formhelper create form using post method. have no idea why want suply id. also, seems expect more 1 user returned should start journey on selected date... in case $user['create']['id'] doesn't make sense.

change this:

<?php echo $this->form->create("create",array('action' => 'search')); ?> 

in controller need find users starting journey on selected date: since default formhelper uses post submit method, can find form data in: $this->request->data['mymodel']['title'];

if not sure, can output submitted data with

pr($this->request->data); 

your search function should like:

public function search(){       $date = $this->request->data['create']['date'];     $user = $this->create->find('all', array(         'conditions' => array(             'journeydate'=> $date,         ),     ));     $this->set('create', $user); } 

you should more carefull naming models, since 'create' doesn't seems apropiate in case. out of cakephp should live conventions. http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/getting-started/cakephp-conventions.html
