Here's an excerpt from a model I had for validating this sort of
thing:
class Order extends AppModel {
var $name = "Order";
var $validate = array(
// ...
'card_valid_from' => array(
'on' => 'card',
'allowEmpty' => false,
'rule' => array('validateRelativeDate', false),
'message' => 'Time travellers are not allowed to shop
here'
),
'card_valid_to' => array(
'on' => 'card',
'allowEmpty' => false,
'rule' => array('validateRelativeDate', true),
'message' => 'That card has expired'
),
// ...
);
function deconstruct($field, $data) {
if ($field == 'card_valid_from' || $field == 'card_valid_to') {
$data['day'] = '01';
}
return parent::deconstruct($field, $data);
}
function validateRelativeDate($date, $inFuture) {
$now = date('Y-m') . '-01';
$date = reset($date);
if ($inFuture) {
return $date >= $now;
}
else {
return $date <= $now;
}
}
}
The view form elements look like this (excerpt):
echo $form->inputs(array(
'legend' => 'Pay by Credit Card',
'card_valid_from' => array('type' => 'date', 'dateFormat' => 'MY'),
'card_valid_to' => array('type' => 'date', 'dateFormat' => 'MY')
));
