Hello Benjamin, this should work:
'password' => array(
'notNull' => array(
'rule' => array('custom', VALID_NOT_EMPTY),
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Please enter a password.'
),
'between' => array(
'rule' => array('between', 4, 12),
'message' => 'Please check the number of characters in your
password.'
)
allowEmpty defaults to false so u don't need to specify it unless u
want to change it. I think allowEmpty and required options are checked
before the rule specification. So if allowEmpty is false and u submit
no data, cake won't check the rule because validation will return
false anyway.
When you are using multiple validation rules per field, cake will
check all of those rules. That means, in your case, if your first rule
fails, your second rule will fail too and u'll get 'between' rule
error msg even when the password was empty. If you want to change this
behaviour you can simply add 'last'=>true option to desired rules,
which will force cake to stop further validation for certain field if
one of them invalidates.
Cheers.
