Try this: In the Model: -------------------
var $validate = array( 'fieldName' => array( 'rule' => array('maxLength', '8'), 'message' => 'Maximum 8 characters long', 'required' => true ) ); The View: --------------- <?php echo $form->create('ModelName', array('action' => 'add'));?> <?php echo $form->input('fieldName');?> <?php echo $form->submit('Save');?> <?php echo $form->end(); ?> The Controller: --------------------- function add() { if (!empty($this->data)) { $this->ModelName->create(); $this->ModelName->save($this->data); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index')); } } I hope that helps, David On Jan 29, 1:33 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can someone post a simple 1.2 beta example of a form w/ validation?
