Folks,
I'm trying to ensure at least one of two fields (last_name or email) is
being populated. Each field also has multiple rules. I'm using CakePHP
version 2.4.2.
The problem I have at the moment, after multiple permutations of updating
and/or moving around the use 'last', 'allowEmpty', 'required', etc, is that
the fields just aren't validating at all, or aren't executing all the rules
when a field is populated.
Any advice on how to modify the code below to achieve the following
behaviour is much appreciated:
1. One of the two fields must be populated;
2. The other rules attached to each field must validate as well (i.e. if a
last name is passed, then it must be between 2 and 45 chars and
alphanumeric only)
Here's the model code:
public $validate = array(
'last_name'=> array(
'needOne' => array (
'required' => FALSE,
'allowEmpty' => TRUE,
'last' => TRUE,
'rule' => array('checkOne','last_name'),
'message' => 'You must enter at least a contact name or email address.'
),
'alphaNumeric' => array(
'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
'message' => 'Alphabets and numbers only'
),
'between' => array(
'rule' => array('between', 2, 45),
'message' => 'Between 2 to 45 characters'
)
),
'email' => array(
'needOne' => array (
'required' => FALSE,
'allowEmpty' => TRUE,
'last' => TRUE,
'rule' => array('checkOne','email'),
'message' => 'You must enter at least a contact name or email address.'
),
'emailAddress' => array (
'last' => TRUE,
'rule' => array('email', FALSE),
'message' => 'A valid Email address is required'
)
)
);
// Ensure at least the last name or email field value is provided
function checkOne() {
if(!empty($this->data[$this->User]['last_name']) ||
!empty($this->data[$this->User]['email'])){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Thanks in advance!
