I am trying to insert record using Cakephp.My model name is something like User.php. And My working controller name is SignupsController.I want to insert record using this two but I cant.I am give my some codes below :

View : 

<?php echo $this->Form->create('Signups',array('action' => 'registration'));?>
                        <div class="row-fluid">
                            <div class="span5">
                                <label class="">*First Name</label>
                                <?php echo $this->Form->input('first_name', array('type' => 'text','label' => false, 'class' => 'input-xlarge validate[required]', 'div' => false)); ?>
                            </div>
                            <div class="span5">
                                <label class="">*Last Name</label>
                                <?php echo $this->Form->input('last_name', array('type' => 'text', 'label' => false, 'class' => 'input-xlarge validate[required]', 'div' => false)); ?>
                            </div>
                        </div>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(); ?>

My controller code is given below :

class SignupsController extends AppController {

var $name = 'Signups';
var $uses=array("User");



public function registration()
    {
        $this->layout="reserved";
        $this->Club->create();
        if (isset($_POST['registration'])) {
            echo "This is";

            echo "<pre>";print_r($this->request->data);echo"</pre>";
            $this->User->save($this->request->data);
            //$this->Session->setFlash(__('Promoter registration has been done successfully'));
            //$this->redirect('registration');
            //$this->redirect(array('action' => 'registration'));
        } 
    }

}

you can use it with $uses variable in SignupController

class SingupController extends AppController
{
    public $uses = array('User');

    //rest of stuff
}

Or, if you want, you can load it on-demand inside a method:

$this->loadModel('User'); //now model is loaded inside controller and used via $this->User

EDIT: Your data array has to include the name of the model you're saving. So, replace:

$this->Form->create('Signups',array('action' => 'registration')

with:

$this->Form->create('User',array('url' => array('controller' => 'signups', 'action' => 'registration'));

you can do this by loading the users model in current controller just write the following line

$this->loadModel('Name of the Model').

then

$this->nameofmodel->save()

As you are unable to understand see this

Controller::loadModel(string $modelClass, mixed $id)¶
The loadModel() function comes handy when you need to use a model which is not the     controller’s default model or its associated model:

$this->loadModel('Article');
$recentArticles = $this->Article->find(
'all',
array('limit' => 5, 'order' => 'Article.created DESC')
);

$this->loadModel('User', 2);
 $user = $this->User->read();

Above pasted code is taken from CookBook of Cakephp, if you still do not understand just read it it has complete detailed explanation you can also see this to understand
